2.1. Introduction

Connext requires a multi-threaded operating system. This section describes the supported host and target systems.

In this context, a host is the computer on which you will be developing a Connext application. A target is the computer on which the completed application will run. A host installation provides the RTI Code Generator tool (rtiddsgen), examples and documentation, as well as the header files required to build a Connext application for any architecture. You will also need a target installation, which provides the libraries required to build a Connext application for that particular target architecture.

Supported platforms, for all products in the Connext suite are listed in these tables:

• Table 2.1 Supported Platforms for Connext Professional. This table is for platforms that are supported in Connext Professional.

• Table 2.3 Supported Platforms for Connext Secure, Connext Anywhere, and Add-ons. This table is for platforms that are supported in Connext Secure, Connext Anywhere, and Add-ons.

Early Access releases are intended to showcase the latest Connext features; they support a smaller subset of platforms in comparison to LTS releases. The upcoming LTS release shall support a larger number of platforms.

Subsequent Early Access and LTS releases may not support all of the platforms supported in this release, or may support different versions of platforms supported in this release.

See the Core Libraries Platform Notes for more information on each platform.
