Prerequisites

Before you begin the process of creating an image for the QNX SDK for Apps and Media, ensure that you:

• Installed QNX Software Development Platform 6.6 for either a Windows or Linux host.
• Have root privilege on your host system, to avoid any issues with permissions when attempting to edit, copy, move, or delete files.
  Note:

  When running on a Windows host, mkifs can't get the execute(x), setuid (set user ID), or setgid (set group ID) permissions from the file. Use the perms attribute to specify these permissions explicitly. You might also have to use the uid and gid attributes to set the ownership correctly. To determine whether a utility needs to have the setuid or setgid permission set, see the utility's entry in the Utilities Reference.

  ELF executables and shared objects are automatically marked as executable (unless you specify [+raw]).

• Can build and run existing QNX SDP 6.6 BSPs without any issues.
• Are familiar with the structure and layout of QNX BSPs in general.
• Understand the process of generating an image and building an embedded system. For more information, see Building Embedded Systems.
• Are using a QNX SDP 6.6 development environment to build your image containing the embedded browser (appsmedia-sample image) from the command line.
• Have a terminal-emulation program for your Windows or Linux OS (such as Qtalk, QNX Momentics IDE Terminal, minicom, Hyperterminal, and so on).
• Have a target with a touchscreen and USB keyboard for using with the browser app.
