## OS Platforms and Hardware Compatibility
The IoT Hub device SDK for C can be used with a broad range of OS platforms and devices.
The minimum requirements are for the device platform to support the following:
- **Being capable of establishing an IP connection**: only IP-capable devices can communicate directly with Azure IoT Hub.
- **Support TLS**: required to establish a secure communication channel with Azure IoT Hub.
- **Support SHA-256** (optional): necessary to generate the secure token for authenticating the device with the service. Different authentication methods are available and not all require SHA-256.
- **Have a Real Time Clock or implement code to connect to an NTP server**: necessary for both establishing the TLS connection and generating the secure token for authentication.
- **Having at least 64KB of RAM**: the memory footprint of the SDK depends on the SDK and protocol used as well as the platform targeted. The smallest footprint is achieved targeting microcontrollers.
Platform support details can be found in [this document](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/iot-hub/iot-hub-device-sdk-platform-support).
You can find an exhaustive list of the OS platforms the various SDKs have been tested against in the [Azure Certified for IoT device catalog](https://catalog.azureiotsuite.com/). Note that you might still be able to use the SDKs on OS and hardware platforms that are not listed on this page: all the SDKs are open sourced and designed to be portable. If you have suggestions, feedback or issues to report, refer to the Contribution and Support sections below.
## Porting the Azure IoT Device Client SDK for C to New Devices
The C SDKs and Libraries:
* Are written in ANSI C (C99) and avoids compiler extensions to maximize code portability and broad platform compatibility.
* Expose a platform abstraction layer to isolate OS dependencies (threading and mutual exclusion mechanisms, communications protocol e.g. HTTP). Refer to our [porting guide][c-porting-guide] for more information about our abstraction layer.
In the repository you will find instructions and build tools to compile and run the device client SDK for C on Linux, Windows and microcontroller platforms (refer to the links above for more information on compiling the device client for C).
If you are considering porting the device client SDK for C to a new platform, check out the [porting guide](https://github.com/Azure/azure-c-shared-utility/blob/master/devdoc/porting_guide.md) document.

# Long Term Support
The project offers a Long Term Support (LTS) version to allow users that do not need the latest features to be shielded from unwanted changes.
A new LTS version will be created every 6 months. The lifetime of an LTS branch is currently planned for one year. LTS branches receive all bug fixes that fall in one of these categories:
- security bugfixes
- critical bugfixes (crashes, memory leaks, etc.)
No new features or improvements will be picked up in an LTS branch.
LTS branches are named lts_*mm*_*yyyy*, where *mm* and *yyyy* are the month and year when the branch was created. An example of such a branch is *lts_07_2017*.
## Schedule<sup>1</sup>
Below is a table showing the mapping of the LTS branches to the packages released
| Package | Github Branch | LTS Status | LTS Start Date | Maintenance End Date | Removed Date |
