ALSA 0.5.x port to QNX4?

Does anyone know if a port of the ALSA 0.5.x drivers to QNX4 is being
attempted?

TIA,
MJ

It is not being attempted by anyone inside of
QNX Software Systems Ltd. All of the audio guys are
busily moving forward with improved support for QNX RtP
at this time.

QNX4 is dead, QtP isn’t ready yet. You can either wait a bit for
QtP (like us) or I heard ALSA supports linux very well.

The alsa 5 source is available from the free software section
on our webpage (http://www.qnx.com/cgi-bin/dir_find.cgi?/usr/free/).
I am not sure how easy of a port it would be, but, the source is
all there if you want to try it.

There is a growing gap developing and some of us are about to fall in it. QNX4
is not keeping pace yet RTP/NTO is not ready for prime time in our applications
which require fuller network support than is available now on RTP.

Out of curiosity. What type of network support are you looking for under RTP?

I am waiting for UDS.

We are using multi-casting with the tcpip 5 in our production prototypes.
Production deliveries will begin early next summer. Also, we need proxies
delivered over qnet; I understood these are not yet available on RTP.

Multicast support is in now. You need to:

  1. Run the large stack.
  2. Start your driver with the multicast=1 option.

eg:

slay io-net

io-net -d multicast=1 -ptcpip

ifconfig en0 x.x.x.x

route add default y.y.y.y

It seems that not a lot of people are using it yet but I haven’t heard of
any problems…

You can currently have a “server” raise a pulse on a “client” via
MsgDeliverEvent() over the network. This is not as flexible as
QNX4 where anyone could trigger() but may suit your purposes…

Hmm. Sounds like things have progressed further than I thought. Maybe it’s time
to get serious about moving to RTP. Thanks Sean.
