ATF Requirements & Dependencies

Requirements

• You must have Windows® 7 or Windows® 8 for the circuit, FSM, statechart, and timeline editor samples, because they use Direct2D. Windows® XP is supported for all other sample applications. For a description of these and other samples, see ATF Code Samples.
• Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (with Service Pack 1) or later is required to compile ATF solution and project files. The Visual Studio project files are configured to use .NET Framework 4.0. ATF uses C# 4.0 language features like optional parameters and generic types with covariance (out keyword) and contravariance (in keyword).
• OpenGL® 2.0 is needed for 3D applications.

Dependencies

• You need the Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework or later to run ATF applications and Visual Studio. You can download it here.
• To use Live Connect, a local network broadcasting service, you must have Bonjour installed. Bonjour is installed with iTunes and some other products. Within Sony, the installers, Bonjour64.msi (for 64-bit Windows) and Bonjour.msi (for 32-bit Windows) are located in the ATF non-public directory \NoDistro\ThirdParty\Wws.LiveConnect.
• All other dependencies are included with ATF. The ThirdParty folder in the ATF distribution contains what's needed from third parties.
