Boot the board

After you transfer the image to an microSD, you can use it to boot your board.

After you boot your board, you should see the board printing to the console. Here's an example of what you should see in the console connection for the Raspberry Pi 5 board:

QNX OS should now be running on your target. You can test it by executing any shell command, or any command residing within the OS image (ls, pidin, etc.). You can also type uname and it should return QNX.
