yeah, a lotta NI solutions are Windows-based. Only LabVIEW, DAQ-mx Base, some DAQ card drivers, and other limited tools have Linux Support. Many toolkits, such as this Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit and Biomedical Startup Kit, are for Windows only, not even Mac. This is a big problem for Linux users. On one side, we have many critical applications to run on Linux (at least Linux can maximize the performance of those computing-intensive and highly real-time applications). On the other side, we can't enjoy fully using NI solution with other tools we enjoy on Linux.
I can't see the reason for the Signal Processing Toolkit to support Windows only. If it purly uses LabVIEW functions, then there should be no technical difficulty. Signal processing is just math, having nothing to do with platform or hardware. Maybe the only reason they support Windows only, is because the installer needs Windows.
I wish NI can hear the growing voice of Linux users in engineering community. As Matlab and Simulink have very good support for Linux, NI is actually pushing us to Mathworks.
But, anyway, the MathScript RT module for Linux is free. Therefore, you can sort it out by programming algorithms on your own.
