To ensure that you pick up the same components from your
development environment, we recommend that you rebuild the IFS
image on your host system.
Included in this BSP are prebuilt IFS images that are provided as convenience for you to quickly get QNX Neutrino running on your board, however these prebuilt images might not have the same components from your development environment. |
