• Using the MicroC profile with Eclipse
  If you are using platform integration with Eclipse, and want to build an application based on the MicroC profile, you must perform a number of additional steps:
  1. Apply the EclipseMainLoopConfiguration stereotype to the Eclipse Configuration used in your model.
  2. After you have generated the code for your application:
     1. Copy all of the .c and .h files from the [installation directory]\Share\LangC\mxf directory to the directory that contains the source files that were generated, except for the files RiCOSAutosarRte.c/h and RiCOSOsek.c/h (if these four files are also copied, compilation errors may result). There is no need to copy the Adaptors subdirectory.
     2. If the Instrumentation Mode of the configuration is set to Animation, copy all of the .c and .h files from the [installation directory]\Share\LangC\aom directory and the [installation directory]\Share\LangC\omcom directory to the directory that contains the source files that were generated, except for the files TargetMonitor.c/h and AdaInterface.c/h.
• MISRA98 Compliancy:
  Do not use the Misra98 profile together with the following profiles:
  • AR3x_BMT
  • AutomotiveC
  • MicroC
  These profiles already include MISRA compliancy.
  
  
• WebComponentsDLL.dll:
  If you are building WebComponentsDLL.dll for a specific environment, add the following line to the file ..Share\LangJava\src\webComponentsDLL.bat:
  set include=%include%;%JDK_INCLUDE_PATH%;%JDK_INCLUDE_PATH%\win32
  and replace %JDK_INCLUDE_PATH% with the path to the include subdirectory of your JDK directory.
  
  
• Web Services library:
  For specific instructions on building the Web Services library for different environments, see Building the Rational Rhapsody WebServices Library.
  
  
• Documentation for previous releases of the product:
  The Information Center (documentation) included with the installation of Rational Rhapsody 7.5.2.1 is applicable to this version of the product. However, you can always view the documentation for previous versions of the product by viewing the Information Center for that release on the Web. Help content for previous product releases can be found here.

System requirements

For information about hardware and software requirements, see Detailed System Requirements for Rational Rhapsody Software version 7.5.2.

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. Rational Rhapsody Designer for Systems Engineers includes makefiles for building the framework on Windows only.
