Desktop Installation

STRIDE Framework components are distributed as as set of compressed archives. Each archive package comprises functionally-related files.

Source Packages

These packages are distributed in source form

STRIDE Runtime

This package contains ANSI C source files implementing the STRIDE Runtime. The runtime is the fundamental component of the STRIDE framework as it implements

• Runtime APIs - providing test services to Test Units
• An Intercept Module thread - upon which tests are run
• Host transport services - enabling I/O between the target and host computer

An Operating System-specific Platform Abstraction Layer (PAL) is also required to map specific OS services to runtime system calls.

The runtime files are typically built into a library that is then linked with your target application. An OS-specific SDK package will contain the runtime sources along with an appropriate PAL, makefile to build the runtime library and other useful stuff.

The stand-alone runtime package is provided to be used with target operating systems for which there is no SDK.

SDK (includes STRIDE Runtime)

STRIDE SDKs

Installation

SDKs are distributed as zip archives. To install, run an unzipping utility. We recommend that you create a parent directory named "stride" into which you upzip the archive.

Linux

The following installation example assumes that the SDK archive is located in your home directory.

cd ~
mkdir stride
unzip ../STRIDE4.1_sdk-linux_4.1.01.zip

Once unzipped, files will have been installed under ~/stride/SDK.

Windows

The following installation example assumes the the SCK archive is located in your root directory.

It uses the open source 7-Zip utility to unzip the archive.

cd \
mkdir stride
"\Program Files\7-Zip\7z" x ..\STRIDE4.1_sdk-windows_4.1.01.zip

Once unzipped, files will have been installed under \stride\SDK.

Host Tools

The Host Tools package includes stride, the program you run on your host computer to run STRIDE tests on your target.

Requires software license.
