This is the GA release of IPC 1.21
Interprocess communication mechanisms including message passing, streams, and linked lists, which work transparently in both uniprocessor and muiltiprocessor configurations.
The IPC product is comprised of three main packages
The following documentation is available:
| User Install Guide | |
| User Guide (SPRUGO6A) | |
| Doxygen API guide | Documents runtime-APIs, type definitions, error codes and constants |
| Cdoc API guide | Documents config-time (RTSC) APIs, Asserts and Errors |
Release notes from previous releases are also available in the relnotes_archive directory.
Highlights:
Changes since IPC 1.20.00.23:

Interface/API changes:
All of the APIs in IPC 1.21 are compatible with IPC 1.20. However, code using IPC 1.20 will have to be recompiled for use with IPC 1.21. You must recompile -- relink will not work.
Shared memory protocols and interfaces are identical to IPC 1.20.00.23. Syslink Linux-side applications should work with IPC 1.20.00.23 or IPC 1.21.00.14 without any changes. Syslink target-side code that used IPC 1.20 will have to be recompiled for use with IPC 1.21 (as noted above).
ti.sdo.ipc.* and ti.sdo.utils.* APIs in the IPC 1.21.XX.XX releases are not compatible with those in the IPC 1.00.0X.XX (GA) release. These APIs have been updated to be consistent with the Linux APIs to share common header files in ti/ipc/. However, APIs in the ti.sdo.io package have not changed since the 1.00 GA release.
This release supports the following hosts:
Windows XP SP2/SP3
Windows Vista
Linux (Redhat 4 and 5)
This release requires the following other software components and tools versions to successfully function:
All releases have 4 digits (M.mm.pp.bb). This includes GA and pre-releases (engineering, EA, beta, etc.). Pre-releases are denoted with a suffix (e.g. 1.21.00.01_eng).
This product's version follows a version format, M.mm.pp.bb, where M is a single digit Major number, mm is 2 digit minor number, pp is a 2 digit patch number, and b is an unrestricted set of digits used as an incrementing build counter.
To support multiple side-by-side installations of the product, the product version is encoded in the top level directory, ex. ipc_1_21_00_01.
Subsequent releases of patch upgrades will be identified by the patch number, ex. IPC 1.21.00.01 with directory ipc_1_21_00_01. Typically, these patches only include critical bug fixes.
Please note that version numbers and compatibility keys are NOT the same. For an explanation of compatibility keys, please refer to the 'Upgrade and Compatibility Information' section.
