Additional Platforms Supported Via Interoperability

Development Platform

Description of Approach

Links to Resources

Node JS

Implement the CFX SDK in the desired language, requiring additional R&D resources 

The IPC-CFX team is looking into a quick prototyping on CFX root messages for a start in Node JS.

LabView

To prepare the SDK for use in Labview:

  1. Extract the files of the .nupkg
  2. Include the .dll in your LV.proj dependencies
  3. Use the LV .net constructor nodes to open references to the sdk in your VIs

Sample source

Python

Iron Python is an open source project that allow applications written in the Python language to be compiled as managed .NET or .NET Core applications.  Using Iron Python, it is possible to invoke the CFX .NET Framework and .NET Core SDK’s on Windows, Linux, and macOS operating systems.

Interest has been expressed in the creation of a native CFX SDK for Python at some point in the future.

Unmanaged C++ for Linux, Windows, and Embedded Operating Systems

There is currently no direct CFX SDK support for unmanaged, native applications running on Linux, Windows, or other embedded platforms.

 

Moreover, if the C++ application is running on Windows, it is possible to access to the SDK through a bridge by using C++/CLI or Microsoft COM technologies. See more information on https://docs.microsoft.com/
