Set up QNX 6.50 SP1 development environment on i.MX6Q SabreLite

[#1]

Host : Ubuntu 11.10

Part 1. Installation of QNX 6.50 and QNX 6.50 SP1

       1.1 Create an account and activate the created account that will be assigned an 30-days evaluation serial numberin then on www.qnx.com, and download qnxsdp-6.5.0-201007091524-linux.bin, qnxsdp-6.5.0SP1-201206271006-linux.bin;

       1.2 Execute "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs"

       1.3 Execute "sudo -E /your/path/qnxsdp-6.5.0-201007091524-linux.bin", follow the guides as prompted, enter the received evaluation serial number, then the installation of QNX 6.50 will be done;

       1.4 Logout, and re-login, so far typing "qconfig" will return the following messages:

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

alanz@alanz-VirtualBox:~$ qconfig

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       1.8 Download bsp-nto650-freescale-mx6q-sabrelite-trunk-201301161142.zip, and unzip it;

Part 2. Build i.MX6Q SabreLite QNX BSP

       2.1 Edit a envsetup.sh as following:

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/bash

export QNX_HOST=/opt/qnx650/host/linux/x86
export QNX_JAVAHOME=/opt/qnx650/_jvm
export QNX_TARGET=/opt/qnx650/target/qnx6
export QNX_CONFIGURATION=/etc/qnx
export ARCH=arm
export CPULIST=arm
export VARIANTLIST=v7
export MAKEFLAGS=-I/opt/qnx650/target/qnx6/usr/include
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/qnx650/host/linux/x86/usr/bin

export QCONFIG=/opt/qnx650/target/qnx6/usr/include/qconfig.mk
export BSP_ROOT_DIR=/home/alanz/Downloads/QNX_Software/i.MX6Q_SabreLite4QNX

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       Note: BSP_ROOT_DIR is the BSP unzip directory.

       2.2 Execute "make clean", then "make". The generated file will be under images/ifs-mx6q-sabrelite.raw

Part 3. Running i.MX6Q SabreLite QNX BSP

       3.1 Copy images/ifs-mx6q-sabrelite.raw to SD;

       3.2 Modify u-boot environment as following:

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

setenv loadaddr '0x10800000'

setenv bootcmd_sd 'mmc dev 0; fatload mmc 0:1 ${loadaddr} ifs-mx6q-sabrelite.raw; go ${loadaddr}'

setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_sd'

saveenv

boot

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       3.3 Connect i.MX6Q SabreLite w/ serial and ethernet, turn on, type "qconn" and "ifconfig" in the serial shell.

Part 4. Debug w/ QNX Momentics IDE

       4.1 Type "qde" to activate Momentics IDE

       4.2 On the top-right corner, there exist several icons named in "xxx perspective" to switch the main window according to current selected "perspective" context. Click "QNX System Information Perspective" to create a target to conect and debug as following depicted.

       4.3 Switch to "C/C++ perspective" to create QNX C/C++ project as following depicted.

       4.4 Switch to "Debug perspective" to perform "Debug Configuration" as following depicted.

       Then it can debug program on target i.MX6Q SabreLite board.

many thanks for this useful guide.. just one thing.. you might wish to turn section 1.8 to a link (?) as being new to this stuff i originally had trouble finding bsp-nto650-freescale-mx6q-sabrelite-trunk-201301161142.zip to download :smileywink:

Hi

I am new to QNX. I successfully ported QNX BSP for sabresmart and able to run a Hello world application created outside the BSP directory. But binaries like mknod, mkdir doesn't run, and the application created was put in prebuilt and build file was updated but surprisingly it is not available on target, I have added separately in project.bld and re-built the ifs and again built the entire project and thats how application is available on target. I added the binary in /bin but it got saved in /proc/boot how do I link to /bin?

I need to know how could i use i2c driver available in BSP to access the sensors on sabresmart sd board? any sample code?

If I wanted to write new Resource manager for i2c or any sample resource manager, how do I insert in the QNX kernel and what is the procedure

for that, should it be compiled as static/shared? Requesting to share an sample resource manager driver and procedure to insert in QNX. Looking for suggestions.
