Embedded Coder Support Package for Linux Applications

Support package to deploy, interface with, manage, and calibrate service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications that run on a Linux^® platform

Embedded Coder^® Support Package for Linux Applications supports generating code, creating an executable, running and stopping the executable in the target execution environment, and instrumenting the running application. The support package enables you to interact with multiple target computers at the same time.

The Embedded Coder Support Package for Linux Applications supports:

Packaging and deployment
Linux Runtime Manager app
Log viewer
Instrumentation

Linux Runtime Manager application that runs on your development computer enables you to manage applications on multiple target computers. You apply most of the support package functionality from the Linux Runtime Manager app.

Best practices to reduce the security risks while using the support package:

Restrict the access to host and target computer to trusted IP addresses.
Use dedicated router private network between host and target computer.
Restrict privileges to deployment location to the necessary users.
