Thanks for the response. Sounds like I’m missing something fundamental.

The FADS generally does not ship with any kind of ROM monitor. You’ll
need to acquire either a BDM or the Motorola supplied ADI card. The ADI
card comes with Windows software that allows you to “talk” to the FADS
board (download images, burn flash, set registers, etc …).
BDM? I’m not familiar with that acronym. What is that beast?
I’ve read about the ADI card, but don’t know how that helps me, since it
runs from Windows and I’m building things on QNX4.
Let’s pop back to the top level. All I’m trying to do is to run a sanity
check that the QNX4+Neutrino tools I have are sufficient to build apps
for the FADS board and to debug apps on that board. Through the process,
I expect to learn how to use all the tools and to bootstrap the system
we’re building (based on the FADS reference design).
What I would really love is a recipe for getting Neutrino onto that
board, booting it to a state that I can log into the board from a QNX4
system running on a PC (connected to the FADS through a serial cable).
Once I’ve gotten that far, I think I know how to cross-compile from QNX4
to Neutrino and debug the sucker on the FADS target.
Do you know of such a recipe and, if so, where can I find it?
Any pointers you could provide will be greatly appreciated.
