Installation Directory Content

The CETONI SDK for Windows setup installs a number of files into the final installation folder. The following overview shows which files are installed into which folders:

- config - provides the configuration files for running the provided tests (the configuration use simulated devices only)
- doc - contains the compiled version of this HTML documentation

Running the unit tests

With the test cases you can check, if the SDK runs properly on your system. To run a test case, you should open a command line window and change into the root installation directory. Now you can execute the test cases with the runtest.bat test runner like in the following example:

1 runtest capi_nemesys_test.exe

Note: All tests run with a device configuration with simulated devices. That means, if you have real devices connected, then nothing will move.
