I'm not too sure what "engineering software" is. In theory you should be able to root Poke 2/Poke 2 Color. This would give you all the permissions you may need (it's basically super administrator level account

). There is a thread about rooting Max3. It should be pretty similar for Poke 2. Get EDL cable (also known as Deep Flash Cable), make Poke2 enter EDL mode, dump boot partition, patch it with magisk, and boot it in the end. I'm not sure how safe it is to flash the patched image, I didn't flash mine and kept it for when I actually need root permissions. The info you provided in the other thread is pretty sparse. Without knowing what the app should do and how you want to achieve it, it's pretty hard to give more accurate answer.

TL;DR
It should be possible to root Poke2/Poke2 Color and get all the permissions you may need.
