After an embedded application is built on a build system using a cross-compiler, it should be transferred to the target system. The best way to do this on Linux-based embedded systems is by using networking connectivity and a remote shell. Secure Shell (SSH) is widely used due to its security and versatility. It allows you to not only run shell commands on a remote host but also copy files from one machine to another using cryptographic encryption and key-based authentication.
In this recipe, we will learn how to copy the application binary to the emulated ARM system using secure copy, connect to it using SSH, and run the executable in SSH.
