Documentation?

Hello,

I don’t know much about qnx but i must create an embedded system using qnx.
I don’t really know where to begin and where to find documentation about
programming qnx rtp 6.0 on an embedded system. I would like to find a book
that could help me understand how to program a good application on qnx (with
tcp/ip communication and HD filesystem + hardware I/O & interupts, using
phab as the UI builder) and that would provide working examples. I tried to
read information on the qnx website but appart from very easy tutorials on
phab and pretty specific information, i did not find any global inforamtion
that would help me construct an application from head to toes.

I am french as you may have guessed so any documentation in french or
english would do!

thanks for the help!

Try [www.parse.com/books/book_v3/index.html](http://www.parse.com/books/book_v3/index.html)

It doesn’t cover Photon UI nor TCP/IP, but will give you the basics of
the operating system, threads, interrupts, and device drivers.
The website contains a sample chapter, as well as a table-of-contents.

Plus, there’s a video training course available there as well.

Cheers,

Have you seen the Building Embedded Systems guide? It might not have been
shipped with QNX 6.0, but there’s a copy on the QDN website:

http://qdn.qnx.com/support/docs/index.html

Look under:

QNX Realtime Platform (QNX RTOS 6)
Embedding Software Development Kit

Good luck!

No, the web site has been rearranged. Here’s the new URL:

^^^^^^^^

Isn’t that a little misleading that in the NC edition docs you’ve included
description of technics and utilities that are available in SE and PE editions
only (eg. mkifs)? As far as I understand I cannot make an OS Image with NC (or
am I missing something?).

The docs are the same for all the editions, although SE and PE have docs that
NC doesn’t. We plan to add a note to the utilities etc. that are in the docs
but aren’t provided in all editions.
