Supported RTOSes

Rational Rhapsody support for different real-time operating systems (RTOSes) is generic and can be customized to most existing systems.

The supported Rational Rhapsody capabilities, platforms, and third-party product integrations have undergone formal testing.

Rational Rhapsody provides pre-customized support for the RTOSes shown below. Pre-customized support in Rational Rhapsody means that a set of preconfigured code generation properties are provided for the environment.

If you are building applications for one of these environments, you must first rebuild the Rational Rhapsody framework libraries by using the Code > Build Framework menu option.

RTOS support is available only in Rational Rhapsody Developer. If you are using Rational Rhapsody Designer for Systems Engineers, you can only run simulations for the following environments: Cygwin, Microsoft, MSVC9.
