- Quickstart Guide
- System Architecture
  The System Architecture guide accompanies the QNX OS and is intended for both application developers and end-users.
- OS Components & Operations
  - Boot Optimization Guide
    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.

        The _NTO_TRACE_THREAD class includes events related to state changes for threads.
        User class: _NTO_TRACE_USER
        The _NTO_TRACE_USER class includes custom events that your program creates.
    - Kernel Buffer Management
      As the instrumented kernel intercepts events, it stores them in a ring of buffers.

    - Filtering
    - Interpreting Trace Data
      Once the data has been captured, you may process it, either in real time or offline.
