Target Deployment Technology
Test programs or instrumented applications need to generate a text file on the host - this is how information is gathered to prepare Test RealTime reports.
The Target Deployment Port gathers this report data by obtaining the value of a (char *) global variable, containing regular ASCII codes, from the application or test driver running on the target machine.
This retrieval can be accomplished in whichever way is most practical for the target. It could be through file system access, a socket, specific system calls or a debugger script. Most known environments allow at least some form of I/O.
At least one form of data retrieval capability is required.
