Fixed issues for this BSP

This version of the BSP provides fixes the following issues:

• my-fixed-issues

Known issues for this BSP

• Don't rename the directory after running setupbsp, or else you won't be able to build or uninstall the BSP properly. (QNX Ref# 38361)
• If you uninstall this BSP, the uninstaller removes only those files that were originally shipped with the BSP (whether or not you modified them). If you've added any files, they remain on your system. (QNX Ref# 38368)
• The uninstaller script doesn't remove itself when you uninstall the BSP. (QNX Ref# 38368)
• If you install a BSP more than once, and then uninstall an instance of it, the documentation for all copies of the BSP is uninstalled. (QNX Ref# 38320)
• All QNX BSPs ship with an images/Makefile whose purpose is to build an image filesystems (ifs) file using drivers built from source. Currently, it's set up to copy buildfiles from within the source directory structure (source/hardware/startup) to the images directory so that it can generate an ifs. This happens automatically when you do a top-level make, but this mechanism doesn't work when you're making an binary BSP. (QNX Ref# 38242)

  Workaround: For a binary-only BSP, change these lines in the root Makefile:

  all: install links $(if $(wildcard images/*),images)
      @echo done
    

  to the following:

  all: prebuilt links $(if $(wildcard images/*),images)
      @echo done
    

Uninstalling this BSP

1. Log in as root (or as a user with system-administrator privileges on Windows).
2. Go to the directory where you installed the BSP (installation_dir).
3. Run the uninstall script that you'll find in this directory:

   ksh ./uninstall
