Getting started with the documentation
After you've installed QNX SDP, you'll find an extensive set of HTML documentation in the Integrated Development Environment's help system. To start the IDE:
- on Windows, choose from the Start menu, or use the desktop icon
- on Linux, run base_directory/qnxmomentics/qde, where base_directory is where you installed the software
- on macOS, click the icon labelled QNX Momentics IDE from the launchpad
The roadmap
page contains links to the various HTML booksets that accompany the OS.
For a short tutorial that will help you get started, see the Quickstart Guide,
then refer to the other documents (System Architecture, QNX Neutrino Programmer's Guide,
C Library Reference, Utilities Reference, and so on).
You can install and work with multiple versions of QNX Neutrino. Whether you're using the command line or the IDE, you can choose which version of the OS to build programs for. For more information, see the IDE User's Guide or the QNX Neutrino Programmer's Guide.
