Date of this edition: September 11, 2007

Host OS: In order to install this BSP, you must have installed QNX Momentics 6.3.2 on one of the following hosts:

Boards supported: X86 boards with a BIOS


Caution:
  • The purpose of this BSP is to provide source code for the most common x86 drivers necessary to boot QNX Neutrino on an x86 board with BIOS. Due to the variety of x86 boards available, this generic BSP might require modifications to run on a particular x86 board. However it should allow you to boot QNX Neutrino on most x86 boards.
  • Since this is a generic BSP, its documentation has been kept very generic too. We assume that you're familiar with your board settings, connection/communication methods and booting mechanisms. Therefore these items will not be explained in detail in the documentation.

  • For information on installing this BSP, see the installation note.
