A reference image is a convenient way to install a complex system on a target board.
A QWF reference image (which is stored as a .img file) contains the entire system from the Initial Program Loader (IPL) to user applications. It also includes the BSP and the startup code for its targeted platform, and all the filesystems, libraries, resource managers, and components and products, such as QNX Apps and Media.
You can transfer a reference image directly to a removable storage medium (e.g., SD card) without having to modify partition information. After you have finished copying the image to the removable medium, you can simply insert the medium into your target system, and boot.
QNX Software Systems makes available platform-specific reference images built with QWF. This release includes reference images for the following board-modem-Wi-Fi module configurations:
