QNX 6.2 hardware specs

Hmm, the minimum specs in the info-file are stated as:

P3-650 Mhz
128 MB Ram

So ist this a joke, or what’s that all about?!? AFAIK min specs for QNX
6.1 were 16MB Ram and a 486er. What lies behind the ultaviolent increase?

Will there be a version sometime with more humble hardware requirements?

This is for development machine.
for the target, you can target 386 & up, & 16MB should be fine. You should
be able to do with less too, depending on application.
You can also obviously target other CPUs.

How is minimal requirements for the target hardware ( microkernel +
very_very_simple_task ) ?

The specs, IMHO, are way off. Nothing has changed at all. I have it running
on a P166 just fine.

I think those specs are for using native version of Momentics IDE. But then
again, they are way off (in reality you’d want 512Mb RAM and 2Ghz CPU, lol)

Runtime requirements are different story and they haven’t changed indeed.

hahaha…I did the vast majority of the work to develop the System Builder
plugin on a PIII-700 laptop with 256M of RAM. So you are overstating the
requirements a wee bit. :slight_smile:

No he is not. Even without IDE I`ve seen C++ program not being able to
compile (with optimisation on ) on machine with196M of RAM. Given that
the IDE takes lots of ram (90M last time I check) 256M is definitely not
enough
for big C++ project.

It really is going to depend on your development machine. Given that gcc
and friends are ones using swap on Neutrino and on Windows/Solaris they
use swap as well, I don’t see why 256M wouldn’t serve just fine. I am
able to compile Mozilla on my box with 256M of ram (now that ld is using
swap again). A lot of the failures with C++ and optimizations in gcc 2.95.3
are not memory related but simply just bugs in gcc.
