Deploy a Run-Time Image

5/10/2007

When a run-time image is properly configured and built, it is ready to be deployed onto your target device. A variety of media types are supported, including CD-ROM, CompactFlash, or headless systems.

Based on the requirements of the target device, there are several deployment options to consider. Deploying on different media types can sometimes require additional components or configurations.
