I don’t know exactly, I would imagine if you have something like a console dev kit, where you have an application running on your machine, which loads a console/embedded program onto another device and runs it there?
I recently worked on a project where the main executable uses Linux’s io_uring directly, so it only makes sense to build this type of module for a Linux target. However this main executable depends on several modules that generate code and data files. These can be built and run on any target, so you can build the entire project on a Mac for example where the code and data gen parts are built and run natively but then the final main executable program is built specifically for the Linux target.
