Verification issues

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

  • New: Some files in QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support Intel are incompatible with QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Base Graphics from Graphics Implementation (7.0 BuildID 8143) update because of a packaging error. (Ref# J2896590)

    The version of each of the following files:
    • drm-probe-displays
    • drm-probe-displays.sym
    • libdrm.so.1
    • libdrm.so.1.sym
    will result in verification issues if you have QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support Intel already in your installation. You must ensure that the version of each of these files are from your QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support Intel package.

    We recommend that you do the following:

    1. Identify the version of each of drm-probe-displays and libdrm.so.1 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 following files:
        • $QNX_TARGET/x86_64/usr/bin/drm-probe-displays
        • $QNX_TARGET/x86_64/usr/lib/libdrm.so.1
        For example: 
        # use -i $QNX_TARGET/x86_64/usr/lib/libdrm.so.1
      2. From the output of the use command, identify the version of the files in your installation. For example: 
        QNX_BUILDID=(GNU)99642efe4856b4744b3213ee3a415443
NAME=libdrm.so
DESCRIPTION=Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) client library
DATE=2017/01/19-14:30:45-EST
STATE=stable
HOST=sdp700-node1
USER=builder
VERSION=7.0.0
TAGID=700-SDP_3_build-x86_64-8
    2. Check that the version of the files you have installed is compatible with QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support Intel.

      If the version of the each of these files is from your QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support Intel, then you may disregard any errors QNX Software Center still reports on the QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Base Graphics package that are related to the following files:

      • drm-probe-displays
      • drm-probe-displays.sym
      • libdrm.so.1
      • libdrm.so.1.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 versions 700-SDP_3_build-x86_64-8 of drm-probe-displays and libdrm.so.1 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 QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support Intel package (e.g., by typing "screen intel" in the Search field).

      If you're unable to locate the QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support Intel package from your Installed tab, select the All tab and look for the package under the Installed: category.

    7. Right-click and select Repair on the QNX SDP 7.0 Screen Board Support Intel 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 Base Graphics package that are related to the following files:

      • drm-probe-displays
      • drm-probe-displays.sym
      • libdrm.so.1
      • libdrm.so.1.sym
      Note: For any other verification issues that QNX Software Center reports, you need to investigate.
    8. Confirm that you now have compatible versions of drm-probe-displays and libdrm.so.1 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 versions of drm-probe-display and libdrm.so.1 on your development host, you may proceed to build your target images.
