QNX® Momentics® 6.3.0 Intel IXDP2800 BSP 1.0.0 Installation Note

QNX® Momentics® 6.3.0

Date of this edition: December 09, 2004

Target OS: QNX® Neutrino® 6.3.0

Host OS: Microsoft Windows XP SP1 or SP2; Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4; Linux (Red Hat 8/9)

NOTE: For the latest information about this BSP, see the online release notes (log into your myQNX account, and then go to the Download Center area of www.qnx.com).

Contents

NOTE: If you need to modify the serial driver, you'll need to install the QNX Momentics Character Driver Development Kit (DDK).

Installing this BSP

NOTE: Your QNX Momentics product license entitles you to download and install binary BSP components. Note that you'll need to enter a license for each BSP -- these licenses are posted on the website.

To obtain the source components for a BSP, you must purchase a BSP Source License.

On a Windows host

NOTE: If you've installed QNX Momentics versions 6.2.1 and 6.3.0 so that they coexist on your Windows host, please note:
  • You can't install a 6.3.0 TDK or BSP when the active version is QNX Momentics 6.2.1; set your configuration to 6.3.0.
  • If you switch from 6.2.1 to 6.3.0, you may have to log out of your user session and log back in before installing 6.3.0 BSPs and TDKs.
  1. Log in as a user with system-administrator privileges.
  2. Log into your myQNX account on our website, and then go to the Download Center.
  3. Download the BSP package, bsp-ixdp2800-6.3.0-nnnnnnnnnnn-win32.exe, where nnnnnnnnnnn is an 11-digit build number. The BSP package is in the form of an executable (.exe) file.
  4. Double-click the file in Windows Explorer or run it at the command line.
  5. Follow the instructions provided by InstallShield.
NOTE: The procedure for building BSPs has changed since QNX Momentics 6.2.1. For instance, you must now run the . ./setenv.sh script before compiling your BSP source. For details, see the chapter "Working with a BSP" in the Building Embedded Systems manual (in the Documentation Roadmap page under the QNX Neutrino RTOS section).

Note that on a Windows host, you must run the Bash shell (bash.exe) before you can compile BSP source.

On a Linux host

  1. Log in as root.
  2. Log into your myQNX account on our website, and then go to the Download Center.
  3. Download the BSP package, bsp-ixdp2800-6.3.0-nnnnnnnnnnn-linux.bin, where nnnnnnnnnnn is an 11-digit build number. The BSP package is in the form of a .bin script.
  4. Run chmod to make the script executable. For example: 
    chmod a+x bsp-intel-ixdp2800-6.3.0-nnnnnnnnnnn-linux.bin
  5. Run the script at the system prompt. For example: 
    $./bsp-intel-ixdp2800-6.3.0-nnnnnnnnnnn-linux.bin
  6. Follow the instructions provided by InstallShield.
NOTE: The procedure for building BSPs has changed since QNX Momentics 6.2.1. For instance, you must now run the . ./setenv.sh script before compiling your BSP source. For details, see the chapter "Working with a BSP" in the Building Embedded Systems manual (in the Documentation Roadmap page under the QNX Neutrino RTOS section).
