+ \section1 Providing Deployment Information
+
+ If you want to run your application on an embedded Linux device, you first need to
+ deploy your executable and possibly other files. \QC does that for you
+ automatically if you provide the necessary information. This works the same
+ way as explained for CMake \l {Deploying CMake Projects to Embedded Linux Devices}{here},
+ except that you also need to include your application binary in the list.
+
\section1 Creating a Run Configuration
\QC cannot automatically determine which executable to run.
