Using the RTFW Library in a C/C++ Project

The wRTOS Configuration and Control (RTFW) library (RtfwApi.dll) is a native DLL that allows C/C++ applications to configure and control the wRTOS Subsystem programmatically. This interface provides similar functionality to the Managed library.

To use the RTFW library in a C/C++ project, you must first perform a few modifications to the project settings. This topic lists the necessary changes.

To use the RTFW in a C/C++ project:

In Visual Studio, add these #include directives to the project’s source code:

#include <windows.h>

#include <RtfwApi.h>

Component-specific #include directives:

Component	#include directive
Network Link Layer (NL2)	#include <Rtfwnl2Api.h>
TCP/IP	#include <RtfwtcpipApi.h>
E-CAT	#include <RtfwecatApi.h>
Network Relay	#include <RtfwrlyApi.h>

Open the Property Pages for the project.
Set Configuration to All Configurations and set Platform to All Platforms, and then do the following:

Under C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories, add:

$(wRTOSSDKDir1)include

Under Linker > Input, add:

RtfwApi.lib

Component-specific libraries:

Component	Library
Network Link Layer (NL2)	Rtfwnl2Api.lib
TCP/IP	RtfwtcpipApi.lib
E-CAT	RtfwecatApi.lib
Network Relay	RtfwrlyApi.lib

Set Platform to x64, and then do the following:

Under Linker > General > Additional Library Directories, add:

$(wRTOSSDKDir1)lib\amd64

Set Platform to x32, and then do the following:

Under Linker > General > Additional Library Directories, add:

$(wRTOSSDKDir1)lib\x86

Select OK and then rebuild the project.
