Generic x86_64_Driver Commands
The tables below provide a summary of driver commands.
Some of the drivers are commented out in the buildfile provided in the images directory of this BSP. To use these drivers on the target hardware, you may need to uncomment them in the buildfile, rebuild the image, and load the image onto the board.
The order that the drivers are started in the provided buildfile is one way to start them. The order that you start the drivers is completely customizable and is often specific to the requirements of your system. It's important to recognize that the order you choose impacts the boot time.
- For more information on best practices for building an embedded system and optimizing boot times for your system, see the Building Embedded Systems and the Boot Optimization guides in the QNX Software Development Platform 8.0 documentation.
- For more information about the drivers and commands listed here, see the QNX OS Utilities Reference. This chapter provides information about BSP-specific options for any of the commands and drivers that aren't described in the Utilities Reference.
