For IDE 5.0, you need to be aware of the following when you migrate:
- Depending on the installations options you chose, the IDE may present a drop-down menu which you can use
to select the target version you want to use.
- If you're using the command-line tools, use the qconfig utility to configure your
machine to use a specific version of QNX Neutrino.
This command affects only the shell in which you ran qconfig. Other windows, for
example, won't be unaffected. To change environments in all your windows, you can run the command in
your shell-initialization script or in your .profile. You can also define separate
users who use different coexisting versions.
- In most cases, the IDE installed with QNX SDP 6.6.0 should work with the
toolchains from earlier releases (6.5.0, 6.4.1, 6.3.x and 6.2.x).
- You can't link old C++ libraries into new C++ programs.
- You can now get Board Support Packages from our website. For information about porting BSPs from 6.5.0 to
the current release, see QNX SDP 6.6.0 BSPs Guide. BSPs for earlier releases can't be ported because this
release doesn't support the older CPU architectures.
- You'll need to recompile ATAPI drivers that are BSP-specific for QNX SDP 6.6.0 (the driver,
io-blk, and the filesystems need to be in sync).
- 6.3.x USB drivers should be compatible with QNX SDP 6.6.0.
