Getting Started with groov EPIC & RIO Secure Shell (SSH)

Welcome to the first of many new developer videos you'll see in 2023! Terry Orchard returns as your host to walk you through an important programming option for groov EPIC and groov RIO devices: Secure Shell (SSH).

If you use C/C++, Python, Java, or other languages, you can use what you already know to build custom applications and run them on the groov EPIC processor or groov RIO edge I/O module through Secure Shell access.

The SSH protocol provides a secure remote login from one computer device to another. With strong authentication options (including passwords and public key authentication), plus strong encryption protection for communication security and integrity, SSH offers secure access for both users and automated processes.

Follow along in this 12 minute video to learn how to get a Shell license, activate, and then install it on your groov devices.

You'll be activating the SSH server and learning how just a couple of commands can help you get a better perspective of using the SSH custom programming option.

Topics covered in the video include:
Purchasing a Shell license on the Opto 22 website
Using the Manage groov portal to enter your activation key and add the License
Creating a Shell user
Reviewing the license agreement
Starting the Shell server
Connecting with an SSH client
Using first commands
Managing files
Using sudo keyword root access
You'll also see real-world examples and other resources
