QNX RTP 6.1 learning curve

I’m having some trouble navigating the file system hierarchy.

Where are the deva-* audio drivers?
Where is nettrap?

A find / -name “deva” was not useful, nor was find / -name “trap

Or do they no longer exist, and the docs are a bit off?

/lib/dll/deva* (that for 6.2 beta) I’m not sure when then change the
architecture
though (6.1, 6.1A) from standalone driver to dll based.


Ok, so what loads the deva-sb? How do I pass it arguments. Can’t find any
of this in the docs, is it just me?

It is “loaded” either by io-audio, or the mount command.

eg:

io-audio -dsb

or

mount -Tio-audio deva-ctrl-sb.so

Yes, it must be you (it is all in the docs - see them for how to pass
arguments :wink:

Gone, enum-pci replaces it to some degree (it does a lot more)

Works for me!

Searching sucks, have you try the “search topic text” option or manually
browser
under /utilities/D/…


Will enum-pnpisa help me out?

At startup it should already have done it’s job.

That’s strange, maybe package manager went belly up.

Most of the docs have a keyword index (rather like the index in a printed
book) that might help you as well.

Thanks :slight_smile: but still no deva-ctrl-sb options on io-audio help page
I know the irq/io/dma settings, I just don’t know if io-audio knows them.

I get a /dev/snd/controlC0 but anything that tries to use the sound card
locks up. I’ll try compiling some of the audio ddk code snippetts.

Why are you looking for help on deva-ctrl-sb in the io-audio help page?
Look on the deva-ctrl-sb.so help page. Unlike QNX4, most of the services
on QNX6 use runtime loaded modules for things. io-audio loads drivers and
mixers, io-net loads protocols and drivers and so on. Many of the .so
drivers/plugins in /lib/dll have thier own use message as well, but it
appears the sb driver is not one of them. ;(

Because I didn’t know the name of the dll :slight_smile: Searching for audio or sound
from the help viewer wasn’t as helpful as I would have hoped. Also, I think
I had a corrupt disk at one point (have now re-installed) after a few lock
ups with out a graceful shutdown (hardware conflicts, not QNX, had to
reserve space for the sound card as legacy ISA in the bios).

Anyway, I have the card working now

io-audio -dsb ioport=0x220,irq=5,dma=1,dma=5

I bought the card in 1993, so I’m quite pleased it even works.

Excellent! :slight_smile:
