Installing this TDK

Note: Before you install this TDK, you must have already installed QNX Momentics 6.3.0 or later on a supported host.

If you have a legacy binary-update license key, you can't install the source components of a TDK.

Caution: Each Board Support Package, Driver Development Kit, Technology Development Kit, and Source Kit contains a standalone directory hierarchy. If you're installing more than one of these products, don't combine the directories, or you might overwrite some of the files.

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 TDK package, tdk-browser-6.3.0-nnnnnnnnnnn-win32.exe, where nnnnnnnnnnn is an 11-digit build number. The 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: Windows XP SP2 may display a security warning the first time you install a TDK. You can verify the TDK's checksums when you download the file from our website.

On a Solaris or 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 TDK package, tdk-browser-6.3.0-nnnnnnnnnnn-host.bin, where host is either solaris or linux, and nnnnnnnnnnn is an 11-digit build number. The package is in the form of a .bin script.
  4. Run chmod to make the script executable. For example: 
    chmod a+x tdk-browser-6.3.0-20041234567-linux.bin
  5. Run the script at the system prompt. For example: 
    $./tdk-browser-6.3.0-20041234567-linux.bin
    Note:
    • The graphical installer doesn't work on some versions of Linux, such as Linux Red Hat EL Workstation 5. Run the installer in console mode instead: 
      $./tdk-browser-6.3.0-20041234567-linux.bin -console
    • If the installer prints many dots but never actually starts, it's looking for a suitable version of Java. You can speed this up by setting the JAVA_HOME variable. For example in the bash shell: 
      export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java

      or: 

      export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2rel1.4.2_09
  6. Follow the instructions provided by InstallShield.

On a QNX Neutrino 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 TDK package, tdk-browser-6.3.0-nnnnnnnnnnn-qnx6.sh, where nnnnnnnnnnn is an 11-digit build number. The package is in the form of a shell script.
  4. Run chmod to make the script executable. For example: 
    chmod a+x tdk-browser-6.3.0-20041234567-qnx6.sh
  5. Run the script at the system prompt. For example: 
    $./tdk-browser-6.3.0-20041234567-qnx6.sh
  6. Follow the instructions on your screen.
