Each BSP guide contains board-specific information and instructions on building an OS image for that particular board.
Location of source and documentation
When you install BSPs, you'll find the source code in $QNX_TARGET\usr\src\archives\qnx\ on Windows, and in $QNX_TARGET/usr/src/archives/qnx/ on QNX Neutrino and Linux.
You can read the documentation (including release notes) in the Integrated Development Environment's help system on all host OSs; on self-hosted QNX Neutrino systems, you can also read it in the Photon helpviewer, or you can use a web browser to display:
${QNX_TARGET}/usr/help/product/momentics/bookset.html
This "roadmap" page contains links to the various HTML booksets that accompany the OS (e.g. System Architecture, QNX Neutrino Programmer's Guide, Library Reference, Utilities Reference, etc.).
Known issues for this BSP

- The Freescale MPC8349 MDS CPU boards might come by default configured as a PCI device. This will cause the PCI server
to not detect PCI devices connected to the bus.
Workaround: use the following settings to configure the CPU board as a PCI host:
- SW3.4 set to 1 (OFF). The default is ON.
- SW6.7 set to 0 (ON). The default is OFF.
Leave every other switch at the factory-default positions.
- In Microsoft Windows,
certain programs (e.g. Norton Ghost) add directories inside double
quotation marks (e.g. ...;"c:\Program Files\Norton Ghost\";...)
to your PATH environment variable.
This causes the Cygwin spawn() function to fail, which in
turn causes cp to fail when called by ln-w.
(Ref# 20046)
Workaround: Modify your PATH environment variable and remove any quotation marks.
- In those instances where the the ROM monitor's MAC address
is different from the one you pass in when running io-net,
the host can cache the ROM monitor's address. This can result in
a loss of connectivity.
Workaround: If you need to specify a MAC address to io-net, we recommend that you use the same MAC address that the ROM monitor uses. This will ensure that if the host caches the ROM monitor's MAC address, you'll still be able to communicate with the target. Otherwise you might need to delete the target's arp entry on your host.
