After you have successfully booted the hypervisor, you should be able use a terminal
tool to look at what the hypervisor is doing. For instance, if you enter
pidin info in your serial terminal's command line, you might
see “Release QNX 7.1”, and four processors listed.
If your hypervisor host is connected to a DHCP server, you can get your target
board's IP address, as follows:
-
In your serial terminal's command line enter ifconfig.
The command should return a valid IP address for your wm0
device.
- Write down this address. It is the IP address for the hypervisor. You will need
to enter it when you connect from your development host to the hypervisor on the
target.
When you have the hypervisor's IP address, you can use the IDE to connect to the
hypervisor:
- Launch the QNX Momentics IDE on your development host (for instructions on
doing so, see the QNX Momentics IDE User's Guide and the IDE
Release Notes).
- Switch to the QNX System Information perspective.
- Right-click on the Target Navigator view, and select
New QNX Target.
- In the dialog box that appears, enter the hypervisor's IP address, then press
Enter.
Note: You need the
qconn daemon running on your target (see
qconn in the QNX SDP
Utilities
Reference).
You should now be able to use the IDE tools to work with the hypervisor running on
your target.
Here are a few things to try in the IDE:
- Open the Target File System Navigator view to explore the
filesystem on the target. You should see the built-in RAM disk at
/dev/shmem; this is a convenient location to place
temporary files.
- Open the System Information and
Process Information views to
see details about the processes running on the target.
- Open the System Resources view to see the total CPU usage
for all cores on your target (per-core usage is not yet available).
- Start another shell window; SSH is preferred: open the Target
Navigator view, select your target, then right-click to select
SSH.
You can also start another SSH session in another terminal program, such as PuTTY,
and log in as userid
root, password
root. You can change these later when you modify the
hypervisor bootable image.
You should now be ready to boot the hypervisor's guests (see “Starting and using guests”).
