Using the VMware image of a QNX Neutrino runtime system

Using the VMware image of a QNX Neutrino runtime system

Date of this edition: September 06, 2011

The QNX_Eval_RT-nnnnnnnnnnnn.zip archive (where nnnnnnnnnnnn is a build number) contains a VMware image of a QNX Neutrino 6.5.0 runtime system. It's also available as target/QNX_Eval_RT.zip on the installation DVD.


Caution: The folder and image file in the zip file on the QNX SDP 6.5.0 DVD erroneously have “641” in their names, but the image really is of 6.5.0. If you already have a 6.4.1 image, be careful not to overwrite it. The names are correct in the zip file on our website. (Ref# 78170)

Installing the image

To install this image, do the following:

  1. Download QNX_Eval_RT-nnnnnnnnnnnn.zip from our website.
  2. Extract the VMware target from the zip file. For example, on Windows, open a Windows Explorer window, double-click on the QNX_Eval_RT-nnnnnnnnnnnn.zip file, and then extract the Neutrino650Target folder to some location on your hard drive (e.g. My Documents).
  3. To launch, either:
    • Start VMware Player, browse to where you saved the Neutrino650Target folder, and then choose Neutrino650.vmx.

      Or:

    • Navigate to where you saved the Neutrino650Target folder, and then double-click the VMware configuration file, Neutrino650Target.vmx.
  4. If VMware Player displays a dialog saying that the virtual machine was moved, select Create and click OK.
