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:
- Download the BSP, set up your environment, and extract the BSP.
For more information, see
Download and set up the BSP.
- 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.
-
Create a bootable microSD card.
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
microSD card,
see
Prepare a bootable microSD card.
- If this is the first time you're running the BSP, you must transfer the provided IFS image file to the microSD card to boot your board.
- After you've put your image on the microSD card, you can boot the board. At this point, your board is running QNX OS.
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.
