User App Deployment

This feature is supported only in FX Series reader. The GPI’s following functionalities are supported for facilitating embedded user application on the FX Series.

• Installation and un-installation of the user application
• Listing the set of currently installed user applications
• Starting and Stopping the user application
• Getting the current Run status
• Auto start of the upper application on reader reboot

The methods that are exposed in rfidApi to support of deployment of user application are: rm.UserApp.Install, rm.UserApp.Uninstall, rm.UserApp.Start, rm.UserApp.Stop, rm.UserApp.GetRunStatus, rm.UserApp.List and rm.UserApp.AutoStart
