Generating a Target Image

These instructions assume that you have already downloaded and installed the product reference image for the target board you want and that you use the default locations for installations provided by QNX Software Center, the BSP for your target board, the product installation, and all required updates.

Note:

Unless otherwise specified, the instructions in this chapter presume that you're working in the commandline on a Linux host.
For more information about the board and using BSP for your board, see the appropriate User's Guide for your BSP.

Prerequisites

The components you need when you build a target image aren't the same for every QNX product. Typically, you'll need:

the QNX SDP release that supports your product with the latest updates
the BSP for your QNX Neutrino release for your board and QNX SDP release
the binaries for your product, such as QNX Platform for ADAS
any packages required for these products and supporting technologies
supporting third-party technologies, such as codecs, as required
the version of Python that comes installed with QNX Software Development Platform 7.0.

Release notes

See the release notes for your product release and the components you need to build your image with for the most current information about:

supported board variants and peripheral devices
components you may require that are not included in the standard QNX Neutrino SDP, or in your product-specific package (e.g., in your QNX Platform for ADAS package)
the version of Python you need installed with QNX Software Development Platform 7.0

Release notes are available for each:

On the Available or Installed tab, navigate to package you want to install, right-click ADAS, and then select Properties.
In the Properties for package_name window, on the General Information pane, click the link beside Release Notes.

You'll redirected to the release notes on the QNX website. To see the notes, you must be logged in with your myQNX account.
