linuxTarget

Interface for managing target computer

Since R2024a

Description

linuxTarget constructs a target object which represents a target computer and provides access to methods and properties related to the target computer.

The object provides access to methods and properties that:

• Start, pause, resume, and stop the application.

• Read and set parameters.

• Monitor signals.

• Retrieve status information about the target computer.

• Restart the docker container on target computer.

• Load and deploy the application.

Creation

tg = linuxTarget constructs a target object representing the only available target computer.

tg = linuxTarget(targetName) constructs a target object representing the target computer designated by targetName.

Example: Only One Target Computer Present

Example: Multiple Target Computers Present

Examples

Only One Target Computer Present

Create a target object that communicates with the available target computer. Select the available target computer by using the linuxTarget.

tg=linuxTarget;

Multiple Target Computers Present

Create a target object that communicates with the specified target computer. Select a specific target computer by using the linuxTarget.

tg=linuxTarget("Target_1");
