Installing the ISO image

To install this image, do the following:

1. Log in to your myQNX account on our website, and then go to the Download area.
2. Download the ISO image, VM-QNXSDP660-nnnnnnnnnnnn.iso, where nnnnnnnnnnnn is a build number.
3. Verify that the checksum of the package matches the one given in the Download area.
4. Open your virtual machine software and create a new virtual machine. We recommend the following:
   • For the operating system and version, choose Other.
   • Use the default hard disk size (usually 8 GB or 4 GB) and memory (usually 256 MB).
   • Specify that the virtual machine should boot from the ISO image that you downloaded.
   • If the virtual machine software offers you a choice of an IDE or SCSI hard disk, choose IDE.
5. Start the virtual machine. The installer will confirm that you want to erase the hard disk. If you created a new virtual machine, it's safe to erase its disk.
   CAUTION:
   If you run the ISO on a physical machine, the installer will—if you let it—erase the physical disk.

   When the installer finishes, it reboots the virtual machine, which then starts the QNX Neutrino 6.6.0 runtime system.

What's in the virtual machine?

The virtual machine includes these OS images:

bios_smp.ifs

Symmetric multiprocessing.

bios_smp_aps.ifs

Symmetric multiprocessing, with adaptive partitioning.

When you start the virtual machine, you can choose which image to load. If you want to start any additional programs when the OS boots, add the appropriate commands to /etc/rc.d/startup.sh or /etc/rc.d/startup_aps.sh, depending on which OS image you start.
