Once you have successfully established a session between a Anyware Software Client and a PCoIP host, you can start developing your own Anyware client. To begin, set up your client development environment, as discussed next.
To set up your client development environment:
Before developing your custom client, you should set up a working Anyware system. HP recommends establishing a small proof-of-concept system for custom client testing, consisting of a host machine with an installed Anyware agent.
License Requirement
The following table outlines the system requirements for the Anyware Client SDK for Linux:
HP may request a support file from your system to help troubleshoot and diagnose issues.
Customizable Script
This script can be customized, in the case where the log files are located in a different location the script should be updated appropriately.
To create a support file:
There are two phases in a PCoIP session:
The steps indicated below are used and documented in the bundled sample code. Refer to the code for specific function calls, expected return values and error-handling requirements. The example C++ code can be found in the SDK package located at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pcoip-client/examples/minimal_client/main.cpp:
The core library allows an application developer to integrate a PCoIP session directly into an application. The core library facilitates connection to a remote host, decoding PCoIP image data directly into an application supplied frame buffer as well as remoting audio, keyboard and mouse events and supported USB devices.
When using the -l parameter to automatically pass session information to the session
client, you can pass additional session client parameters by enclosing them in double
quotes.
Release 24.07 of the Client SDK for Linux includes:
This release includes bug fixes and stablity enhancements.
The Anyware Software Client for Linux now supports USB webcams when connecting to a Anyware Agent for Windows. USB webcams can now be used while in the remote desktop, including with applications such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom.
For detailed information which models have been tested and the performance metrics associated with these models see here. This knowledge base article also deals steps on how to test and verify other webcam models.
As of 21.07, this feature is enabled by default.
