Before You Begin

Before you begin working with this BSP, you should become familiar with the resources available to you to work with QNX embedded systems.

Essential information

Before you begin to install or build your BSP, review the following documentation:

Information about your board's hardware and firmware provided by the board vendor. This differs for each board.
Building Embedded Systems. This guide contains general information about working with BSPs from QNX Software Systems that's common to all BSPs and is included in QNX Software Development Platform 8.0 documentation.

Required software

To work with the BSP for the x86_64 board, you require the following:

the ZIP file for the BSP
QNX Software Development Platform 8.0 installed on a Linux or Windows host system
Virtual COM Port (VCP) Driver. This driver is required on your host system if your board has a COM or USB-Serial port for debugging. To get the driver and read more information about it, see the Future Technology Devices International Ltd. (FTDI) website at http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm
a terminal emulation program (e.g., Qtalk, Hyperterminal, Tera Term, PuTTy) to connect to the board for debugging. Alternatively, you can use a ssh session from the QNX Momentics IDE.
