Installation Notes

These installation notes describe how to build, work with, and run this BSP.

Overview

Here's the process to build and run your BSP:

  1. Download the BSP, set up your environment, and extract the BSP. For more information, see Download and set up the BSP.
  2. Connect your target board. After you connect the hardware, it may be necessary to set DIP switches on your board to further configure it. For more information about how to connect to your board, see Set up the hardware.
  3. Create a bootable SD . After you create this card, you can either transfer prebuilt images that come with the BSP or change the buildfile to build your own, customized image. For more information about how to create a bootable SD , see Prepare a bootable microSD.
  4. If this is the first time you're running the BSP, you must transfer the provided IFS image file to the SD to boot your board.
  5. After you've put your image on the SD, you can boot the board. At this point, your board is running QNX OS. From here, you can prepare the eMMC on the board to boot your QNX IFS image. For more information about booting your board, see Boot from an eMMC memory device and

After your board boots, you can use that image to understand how it works. Depending on the other devices that you've connected to the board, you may need to modify configuration settings on the image.

At some point, you may want to customize the buildfile and build a custom image. For specific information about building the image for this board, see theBuild the BSP chapter in this guide. For generic information about modifying and building an image, see the Building Embedded Systems guide in the QNX SDP 8.0 documentation.
