Your First MARTe2 Application
=============================

In this section, you will run your first MARTe2 application.

The goal is to introduce the minimum set of concepts required to start a MARTe2
application and to verify that your environment is correctly configured.

You will work with a very simple configuration that demonstrates how a MARTe2
application is defined and executed. At this stage, the focus is not on control
logic, but on understanding how the framework starts and runs.

By the end of this section, you will:

- Launch a MARTe2 application from a configuration file
- Understand the role of the main application components
- Recognise what a successful startup looks like
- Identify basic issues if the application does not run

This example serves as a "Hello World" for MARTe2 and provides the foundation
for all subsequent sections.
