6.1. Introduction

This section provides platform-specific instructions that you will need to build and run RTI Connext Micro applications.

For each supported operating system (OS), this section describes:

• Supported combinations of OS versions, CPUs, and compilers

• How to build your application, including:

  • Required Connext Micro and system libraries

  • Required compiler and linker flags

  • Details on how the Connext Micro libraries were built

To see a list of all supported platforms, refer to Supported Platforms and Programming Languages.

6.1.1. Library types

This section references Platform Independent Libraries (PIL) and Platform Support Libraries (PSL). These are library types that RTI provides in a Connext Micro installation. For more information, see Library types.

6.1.2. Build profiles

You can optionally build Connext Micro with a CERT profile. This restricts Connext Micro to only include features that are available or planned for Connext Cert; for more information, see Building Connext Micro with Compatibility for Connext Cert.

Any architecture ending with CERT is built with the CERT profile enabled.

Some features are only available on specific platforms; see the footnotes in the table below.

Table 6.1 Features by Profile

1(1,2,3,4)

Not supported on FreeRTOS platforms.

2(1,2)

Only supported on Linux and QNX platforms.

6.1.3. Supported libraries by platform

The following table shows which Connext Micro libraries are supported on each platform (RTI architecture).
