    The Boot Optimization Guide describes techniques you can use to reduce the time from your board's initial power on until you have a fully functional QNX system running on the board.
  - Building Embedded Systems
    The Building Embedded Systems guide is intended for developers who are developing or building BSPs for QNX OS embedded systems.
  - Customizing a BSP
    While QNX provides Board Support Packages (BSPs) for many common platforms and their individual variants, in some cases, you need a BSP for a board that QNX does not provide. If this is the case, you can modify a QNX BSP or develop your own.

        Convenience macro that logs an error message using a QNX helpers function and then calls abort()
        QH_ABORT_ON_ERRNO()
        A convenience macro that allows you to call qh_abort_on_errno() without specifying qh_log_info
        QH_RET_ERRNO()

        QH_SET_ERRNO()
        A macro that sets errno

        A macro that conditionally sets errno and always returns the specified error
        QH_RET_ON_ERRNO()
        A macro that conditionally (if not EOK) sets errno and returns the specified error
      - qh_abort_on_errno()
        Conditionally log an error message using QNX helpers logging functions and then call abort() if the specified errno is not EOK
      - qh_set_errno()
        Set errno
      - qh_set_errno_on_error()
        Conditionally set errno
