The source tree

The source files are organized as follows:

Figure 1. Flash directory structure.

The following pathnames apply to the flash filesystems:

Pathname Description
${QNX_TARGET}/usr/include/sys Header file f3s_mtd.h.
${QNX_TARGET}/usr/include/fs Header files f3s_api.h, f3s_socket.h, and f3s_flash.h.
${QNX_TARGET}/${PROCESSOR}/lib Libraries for flash filesystem and flash services.
bsp_working_dir/src/hardware/flash/boards Source code for socket services.
bsp_working_dir/src/hardware/flash/mtd-flash Source code for flash services as well as for probe routine and helper functions.

Before you modify any source, you should:

  1. Create a new directory for your driver in the bsp_working_dir/src/hardware/flash/boards directory.
  2. Copy the files from the sample directory you want into your new directory.

For example, to create a driver called myboard based on the 800FADS board example, you would:

cd bsp_working_dir/hardware/flash/boards
mkdir myboard
cp -cRv 800fads myboard
cd myboard
make clean

The copy command (cp) specifies a recursive copy (the -R option). This will copy all files from the specified source directory including the subdirectory indicating which CPU this driver should be built for. In our example above, the 800fads directory has a ppc subdirectory — this will cause the new driver (myboard in our example) to be built for the PowerPC.
