Virtual Devices (HWIL)

Manage Virtual Devices

We introduced the support for managing hardware-in-loop devices in the CLI since version v7.6.0. It includes the rio hwil command that allow you to manage devices directly. In addition to that, we have integrated virtual devices with the Device manifests that will allow the users of the CLI to create a new HWIL device and onboard it via a single command.
