2. System Requirements

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 Supported Platforms.

Future 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 RTI Connext Core Libraries Platform Notes for more information on each platform.
