[Ltib] How to run an application on Embedded Linux

[casper iway]

Hello, 

     I'm new to embedded linux and i have just built my first kernel and filesystem for my LPC3141 board after weeks of trying different things. I could already see the "address@hidden /]#", i'm using Tera Term software to display this.. I basically know some linux bash commands like 'ls','mkdir', etc... but only the basic ones.. My question is that how can i run an application of my development board now that i have linux on it?? I have no idea what to do next could someone please provide me the right way after having a linux kernel on the devlopment board???

I have a pre-built applications for my board, like blinking leds and maze on the lcd, but i don't know how to run these applications now that i have linux.. I could not even detect my USB stick now that i am in 'bash' prompt, before in the u-boot prompt i could access the usb stick using the command 'usb start', but i know this is not applicable when you are in the 'bash' prompt..

Hope someone could help me out these problems.. Thanks...
