# AllPlay Binding
![](/logos/allplay.png)
This binding integrates devices compatible with Qualcomm AllPlay (opens new window). The binding uses native libraries for the AllJoyn framework. Libraries for the following platforms are already included in the binding:
- Linux ARM
- Linux x86 (32 bit, AllJoyn v16.04a)
- Linux x86-64 (64 bit, AllJoyn v16.04a)
- Windows x86 (32 bit, AllJoyn v16.04a)
- Windows x86-64 (64 bit, AllJoyn v16.04a)
The Windows libraries have a dependency on the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 (opens new window). If you are using Windows, please make sure to install these components before using the AllPlay binding.
If there is need for another architecture/platform, please open a ticket on GitHub (opens new window) so the missing native library can be added.
