In this article we create few application, interact between apps, use OS functions and interact with HAL.

# General agreements

Flipper application is just a function:

```C
void application_name(void* p) {
    // Setup

    while(1) {
        // Loop
    }
}
```

1. `void* p` is arbitrary pointer that may be used for pass parameters to application at launch (like argc/argv in POSIX).
2. Application must never attempt to return or exit from their implementing function.
3. Avoid long cycles without any "waits" or "blocking" like `delay` or `xQueueReceive`, otherwise your app will blocking overall Flipper work.
4. Do not create static variables inside function or global variables. Use only local variables. We plan to add virual in-RAM filesystem to save any persistent data.  

# Application examples

* **[Blink](Blink-app)** show how to create app and control GPIO
* **[UART write](UART-write)** operate with FURI pipe and print some messages
* **[Inter-process communication](IPC-example)** describes how to interact between application through FURI
