    (Ref# J2235760)

Verification issues

These are the known verification issues that you may encounter when verifying your installation with this update:

  • New: Some files in the following packages may be incompatible with this update because of a packaging error: (Ref# J2335344)

    • QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support – R-Car H3 (7.0.0.SGA201702151847)
    • QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support – R-car series, 3rd generation, common files (7.0 BuildID 6272)
    • QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support – R-car series, 3rd generation, common files (7.0 BuildID 6442)
    • QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support RGX (7.0 BuildID 6529)
    The version of each of the following files:
    • screen-roguetq.so
    • screen-roguetq.so.sym
    will result in verification issues if you have one or more of the packages listed above already in your installation. You must ensure that the version of each of these files correspond to the version of the QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support R-Car D3 package that you have installed.

    We recommend that you do the following:

    1. Identify the version of screen-roguetq.so that you have installed on your development host (it's not necessary to identify versioning on file variants with debug symbols):

      1. Execute the use command with the -i option from your development host for the $QNX_TARGET/aarch64le/lib/dll/screen-roguetq.so file. For example: 

        # use -i $QNX_TARGET/aarch64le/lib/dll/screen-roguetq.so
      2. From the output of the use command, identify the version of the file in your installation. For example: 
        QNX_BUILDID=(GNU)fe304ffe0838e96554b34222227df47e
NAME=screen-roguetq.so
DESCRIPTION=Composition Manager Roguetq module
DATE=2018/11/27-16:47:07-EST
STATE=stable
HOST=graphics-node-1
USER=builder
VERSION=graphics_release2.1x_be700
TAGID=Graphics_br-21x_be-700-442
PACKAGE=com.qnx.sdp.target.screen.board.rcar3.common/7.0.6442.S201811271738
    2. Check that the version of screen-roguetq.so you have installed is compatible with your version of the QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support R-Car D3 based on the following table:
      If you have this build of QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support R-Car D3: Compatible version of screen-roguetq.so:
      7.0 BuildID 6442 com.qnx.sdp.target.screen.board.rcar3.common/7.0.6442.S201811271738
      7.0 BuildID 6529 com.qnx.sdp.target.screen.board.rgx/7.0.6529.S201902071641

      If, according to the above table, the version of the file corresponds to the version of QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support R-Car D3 that you have installed, then you may disregard any errors that QNX Software Center still reports on the QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support – R-Car H3 (7.0.0.SGA201702151847) or the QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support – R-car series, 3rd generation, common files (7.0 BuildID 6272 or 6442) packages that are related to the following files:

      • screen-roguetq.so
      • screen-roguetq.so.sym

      You may proceed to build your target images on your development host; there's no need for you to continue with any further steps to verify your installation regarding this issue.

      Caution:

      For any other verification issues that QNX Software Center reports, you need to investigate.

      If you don't have a compatible version of screen-roguetq.so to the QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support R-Car D3 that you have installed, then you must proceed to the next steps to verify and repair your installation.
    3. Perform a Verify Installation on your installation.

      See the myQNX License Manager and QNX Software Center User's Guide for more information on how to verify your installation.

    4. Do not select any of the available repair actions on your Installation problems window; simply close this window by selecting Cancel.
    5. Select your Installed tab.
    6. Navigate to the package that contains the version of screen-roguetq.so that's compatible to your QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support R-Car D3 package based on the following table:
      If you have this build of QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support R-Car D3: Compatible package:
      7.0 BuildID 6442 QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support – R-car series, 3rd generation, common files (7.0 BuildID 6442)
      7.0 BuildID 6529 QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support RGX (7.0 BuildID 6529)

      If you're unable to locate the package from your Installed tab, select the All tab and look for the package under the Installed: category (e.g., by typing "r-car common" or "rgx" in the Search field).

    7. Right-click and select Repair on the appropriate package.

      If you perform subsequent Verify Installation actions on your installation, you will still see verification issues. However, since you've performed the repair action, you may disregard any errors QNX Software Center still reports on the QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support – R-Car H3 (7.0.0.SGA201702151847) or the QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support – R-car series, 3rd generation, common files (7.0 BuildID 6272 or 6442) packages that are related to the following files:

      • screen-roguetq.so
      • screen-roguetq.so.sym
      Note: For any other verification issues that QNX Software Center reports, you need to investigate.
    8. Confirm that you now have the version of screen-roguetq.so that's compatible with the version of QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support R-Car D3 installed on your development host.

      Do so by executing the use command with the -i option as described eariler in these procedures.

      Once you've established that you have the compatible version of screen-roguetq.so on your development host, you may proceed to build your target images.
