System Requirements

The following table outlines the system requirements for the Anyware Client SDK for Linux:

Anyware Support Bundler Tool

HP may request a support file from your system to help troubleshoot and diagnose issues.

To create a support file:

PCoIP Session Phases

There are two phases in a PCoIP session:

PCoIP Session-Creation Steps and Actors

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:

PCoIP Core Library Integration

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.

Passing Customization Parameters to the Session Client

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.

What's New in This Release?

This release of the Client SDK for Linux contains bug fixes and stability enhancements for a seamless user experience. In addition, it includes the following feature:

The Anyware 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.

About the Anyware Client SDK for Linux

The Client SDK for Linux does not ship with its own session client binary; it uses the standard Anyware Client for Linux binary instead. Therefore, you must first download and install the Anyware client application, and then invoke it from the SDK.

Manually Bridging USB Devices

If you need to support more than 20 USB devices, or if you expect your users to control which devices can be bridged, they can be manually added by opening the client’s USB Devices menu and enabling them.
