Followed the instructions. output of sin shows procnto
I assume that means SMP didn’t take? Everything from
RedHat 7.1, SuSE 7.0 Pro, Win2K, and even BeOS 5.0
see both processors. am I doing something wrong?

I did :

mkifs -vv /boot/build/qnxbasesmp.build /.smpboot
cp /.boot /.save.boot
cp /.altboot /.save.altboot
cp /.smpboot /.boot
cp /.save.boot /.altboot

Basically, smpkernel to copied to booting kernel copied to altboot

Oh, system specifics:

RioWorks PDVIA-LS dual slot-1 (integrated Intel 82559 10/100 ether,
integrated dual channel ncr/LSI 53C1010-66 UWSCSI3)

VIA Apollo 133A Chipset
Dual P3/500, Katmai core
256MB PC-133 DIMM, Micron
IBM 13.6GB ATA66 drive


also, there anything in RTP equivalent to BSD/Linux’s /proc/cpuinfo, or
dmesg, hell, even /var/log/messages would suffice?!?!?

Yeah, the baby is called pidin. Try running “pidin in”. On my
SMP test machine…

cdm@x86dual → pidin in

Thanks! Actually, when I got home, rebooted out of Win2K Pro, and into RTP,
and voila!
There’s 2 “cpu” symbols on the bottom right, similar to BeOS’ layout in
‘Pulse’. Don’t know
what happened, but it sees both now.

hey guys im just wondering, is there a QNX driver for the DFE530TX ? or
does
it come with the iso, because i wasnt able to configure my network because
it didnt see en0 or what ever it says in that tiny little screen shot for
the configuration. my connection is static ip not dhcp so i know my
ip,gateway,and dns, ip’s are i cant find a place to put them in, so to
speak. btw i installed it under a windows partition, would that change
anything ?

Yes it is supported. devn-via-rhine.so is the driver.
You can start it by typing “io-net -dvia-rhine -ptcpip” in a shell.

If that doesn’t work take the Vendor and Device ID supplied by
typing “pci -v” in a shell and start the driver like this:
“io-net -dvia-rhine did=0xdevice id,vid0xvendor id -ptcpip”

Another EMACS and/or Sun user?

Thanks a lot!! I got it.
I hope that ‘mkkbd’ will be contained again in the next release.

Neither of them, but I prefer the arrangement.

Thanks again.

You can try starting the driver manually and see if that helps.

A supplement:

Tried something from chat.
Now mousepointer appears, but no moving.
Keyboard works , but only in Photon.
Here are the steps I have done:

  1. add /sbin/devu-uhci &
    /sbin/devu-mouse &
    waitfor /dev/usbmouse0
    /sbin/devu-kbd &
    waitfor /dev/usbkbd0
    to
    /etc/rc.d/rc.local
    and
    chmod 777 to make it nice and executable.
  2. add kbd -R fd -d/dev/usbkbd0
    msoft fd -d/dev/usbmouse0
    to
    /etc/system/trap/input.localhost
    (localhost is still my hostname)

Now here’s the output from usb -vv :

end of ‘usb -vv’

I tested if both devices are in /dev
and really: /dev/usbmouse0, /dev/usbkbd0 and /dev/kbd exists.


The issues from ‘inputtrap -vv’ are:

Probing :keyboard
/dev/kbd exists, using …

Hi Andreas,
fd -d/dev/usbkbd0
Make certain that the input.{host} info is on the same line

E.g.

kbd -R fd -d/dev/usbkbd0 msoft fd -d/dev/usbmouse0

Regards,

Erick.

I don’t understand how env vars are inherited!

I have to export the TERMINFO env var.
I tried to export it in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, /etc/rc.d/rc.local, no
way! when I’m in photon and launch a shell, TERMINFO doesn’t exist!

I don’t want to put in hundreds of profiles, shell rc or I don’t know
which private init file!

export TERMINFO=whatever
works perfectly even in /etc/rc.d/rc.local on my installation.


see ksh(1), tinit(1), diskboot(1) for more info.

This is being copied from qdn.public.neutrino.
I guess no one looks there.

I’m starting to port code from QNX4 to QNX6. So far, I’m still writing
very simply stuff to prove that my techniques are correct. And I don’t
understand what I’m seeing.

I have a server process that waits for a message. When it receives that
message it displays if and replies to it. How much simpler can you get?

I then wrote a simple client to test it. They both worked, until I
also ran psin to monitor what was going on. The scenario is as follows.

I start my server.
I start psin
I start my client. It displays some connection information.
It then sleeps for 20 seconds via sleep(20);
I go to the psin console and do a Ctrl-R to refresh the screen.
{Goofey stuff happens}
After 20 seconds, the client MsgSend()s to the server.
The server replies.
The client ends.

Both client and server are being run from a pterm. They are text mode
non-photon apps.

The Goofey stuff is that strange graphical character appear on the
screen. They appear WHEN I do the refresh in psin. Once they appear
the pterms will no longer display normal text, BUT they DO appear
to display digits appropriately when their supposed to. But letters
(a-x, A-Z) come out as graphical characters.

Slaying the pterm and reloading it does go back to normal.

I can run my tests 1000 times without doing a refresh in psin and the
pterm won’t do anything strange or unexpected.

What is psin doing to my program and what should I be doing to deal
with it properly?

It feels like my server is getting a messaeg like a ‘sin ve’ message in
QNX4 and just doesn’t know what to do with it. BUT even if that were
the case, why does it display any graphical crap on te screen?

My server is receiving 3 messages from psin when psin does a refresh,
Ctrl-R. It doesn’t seam to send any messages when it is first loaded.

Also, what SHOULD my server do to reply to these messages?

This is what I am consistantly receiving.

This is very consisent. The only variable seams to be that sometimes
the SenderCoid is 11 and sometimes it is 12. The pid is always that
of psin.
