The QNX Momentics tool suite lets you install and work with multiple versions of QNX Neutrino (from 6.2.1 and later). Whether you're using the command line or the IDE, you can choose which version of the OS to build programs for.
Note: Only versions of QNX Momentics with different medial version numbers can coexist. For
example, QNX SDP 6.3.2 can coexist with 6.2.1, but not with 6.3.0. However, 6.4.0 can coexist with QNX SDP
6.4.1, as well as 6.5.0 and 6.6. Coexistence with QNX SDP 6.2.1 is supported only on Windows hosts.
When you install QNX Momentics, you get a set of configuration files that indicate where
you've installed the software. On some platforms, the location of the configuration files for the installed
versions of QNX Neutrino are stored in the QNX_CONFIGURATION
environment variable.
Upgrading to QNX SDP 6.6 (IDE 5.0) of the IDE
involves two basic steps:
- Step 1 — converting your development workspace to be compliant with the latest version of
the IDE framework. The IDE performs this
process automatically at startup when it detects an older workspace version.
- Optional Step 2 — converting your individual managed make projects. For more information,
see Creating an empty Makefile project.
Note: Upgrading from versions before SDP 6.3.2 requires that you upgrade your projects to
IDE 4.0.1, and then follow the two step migration process (above) to
upgrade to
IDE 5.0. For additional information about migrating,
see
Migrate from IDE 4.0.1 to IDE 5.0 (SDP 6.6.0).
