RTP Embedded Newbie Question

Hi all,

I’ve just installed the full RTP and it looks great! I’ve also read
over the documentation including the embedded stuff. However, I feel
I’ve missed something along the way. Where’s the neutrino development
tree?

The documentation refers to a tree containing the ipl, startup, etc
directories. I can’t find them on the drive. Am I missing something?

It would be great if QSSL could create a simple HOW-TO for building
a bootable image that comes up and prints “Hello Word” to the screen.
The documentation looks great and talks about the tools, but it lacks a
concrete x86 example:

Step 1: create a work area
Step 2: copy files
Step 3: edit config files
Step 4: build image
Step 5: compress image
Step 6: add image to boot list, etc

Please don’t flame me if I’ve simply missed something in the
documentation. I’m really interested in getting this to work. Thanks
in advance.

Steve

I assume you used the Package Manager to install the
development packages already?

All the source code, examples, etc. are being planned for
our public cvs repository which will be setup and ready to
go in a few weeks.

Look at the .build scripts in /boot/build

Look in /boot for other things

Read about the `mkifs’ command in the help docs

Good Luck!
