how to name this version of QRTP?

Hi,

I am making a beta version of our product. I want to know how to
name this neutrino os. uname -a prints:

QNX port2 6.00 2000/09/13-14:09:41edt x86pc x86


Is it:

  • QNX Neutrino 2.0 or
  • QNX Real Time Platform 2.0 or
  • QNX Real Time Platform 6.00 or something else?

I don’t want plain QNX Real Time Platform without version number because I
need to tell my customer what exact OS is required to run and was tested.
Right now, there is probably only 1 QRTP right now but I have no control
when the next QRTP will be produced.

Thanks.

It’s brand new so,

QNX RtP 2.0

or QNX RtP 2.01, if some patch are added…

The one with all monitors and network card… QNX RtP 2.1

6.00 sounds like very mature which is not the case yet.

I know that QNX6 = QNX RtP
but since they have nothing in common,
it doesn’t sounds right isn’t it !?

QNX6 should be for QNX 4.2x
with the Open Watcom (2002?) or something like that
and compatible with QNX 4.x to some extend.

Can QSSL give a straight answer? What I want is to id the version of
OS I am using. QSSL should be the one who defines what QNX RtP 2.0 is
and what QNX RtP 2.1 or 2.01 is.

Well I never use QNX2, but it should be some what similar to QNX4,
like RtP is similar to Neutrino, right ?

No, QNX2 is as different from QNX4 as QNX4 from Neutrino. Worse in fact,
because QNX2 is not even POSIX.

:wink:

Ok. I had this same question regarding cross development install
paths that have a component
“…/OS_NAME_AND_VERSION/CPU/…”

I was told to use QNX6 as the name for the OS. I am not sure what to
call RTP, as it is QNX6 + Photon2 + + + +…

I will ask again as to what to call the RTP. (QNX6-RTP ?)

Since you are using the “QNX realtime platform pre-release”
how about calling your product “product_name pre-release”.

Chris has it right.

I have asked around, and the final answer is “RTP pre-release”, or
“RTP pre-release 1” or “RTP pr1”, etc… QNX (Company Name, not OS)
may also be prepended.

QNX RTP pr1
QNX RTP pre-release 1
etc …

This is because the RTP is a collection of many parts, each of which
has it’s own versioning. (OS, Photon, Dev Tools, etc…). We need (and
now have) a name and version that identify a given QA’d collection of
sub-components that make up a given released version of the RTP.

Sounds like the Mac System before Apple decided to just give the System
and Finder files the same version number. :slight_smile:
