    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.

smmu_safety()

QNX SDP8.0SMMUMAN User's GuideAPIConfigurationUtilities

Query the smmuman service for its safety status

Synopsis:

#include <smmu.h>

int smmu_safety(void);

Arguments:

None.

Library:

libsmmu.a

Description:

The smmu_safety() function checks the smmuman service's safety status. See safety in Global options for information about configuring your system's response to the presence of components that aren't safety-certified.

Warning:

If you are building a safety-related system, you must use safety-certified component. For more information, see Component safety-certification status in the smmuman chapter.

Returns:

SMMUMAN_SAFETY_ERROR: Failure: errno is set. The function was unable to retrieve the safety status of the smmuman service.
SMMUMAN_SAFETY_NO: The smmuman service or some dependency (e.g., procnto) is not a safety-certified component.
SMMUMAN_SAFETY_YES: The smmuman service and all its dependencies are safety-certified components.
