# 16. UNIX ARM platform

This chapter provides a brief description of how to deploy Vortex OpenSplice on a UNIX ARM platform

## 16.1. Installation for UNIX ARM platform

The installation of the Vortex OpenSplice HDE or RTS on a UNIX ARM platform is depended on the type of installer that has been provided. Dependent on the platform the installer is either an executable or a tar file. An executable installer has either the extension .run or .exe. A tar file installer has the extension .tar.

The following combinations may be provided - both the HDE and RTS installers are executables - the HDE installer is an executable and the RTS is an tar file - both the HDE and RTS installers are tar files.

When the installer is provided as an executable follow the normal install procedure as described in section Installation for UNIX and Windows Platforms.

When the installer is provided as an tar file follow the procedure described below.

Step 1

> Untar the installer tar file,

> go to the directory where Vortex OpenSplice has to be installed.

> untar the tar file in this directory

> `tar xf P<code>-VortexOpenSplice<version>-<E>-<platform>.<os>-<comp>-<type>-<target>-installer.tar`

> where, some being optional,

> <code> - ADLINK’s code for the platform <version> - the Vortex OpenSplice version number, for example `V6.0`

> <E> - the environment, either `HDE` or `RTS`

> <platform> - the platform architecture, for example `sparc` or `x86`

> <os> - the operating system for example `solaris8` or `linux2.6`

> <comp> - the compiler or glibc version

> <type> - release, debug or dev, which is release with symbols

> <target> - the target architecture for host/target builds.

Step 2

> Configure the Vortex OpenSplice environment.

> Go to the <install_dir>/<E>/<platform> directory, where <E> is `HDE` of `RTS` and <platform is for example `armv7l.linux`.

> When bash is used as shell:

> Source the release.com file from the shell command line.

> Otherwise:

> First set the OSPL_HOME variable to the directory in which OpenSplice was installed and then source the release.com file.
