OEM Neutrino and hardware compatibility lists

I see the list for ‘Neutrino’ has disappeared, probably for consistency
sake. It became so consistent now, one can hardly find a trace of OEM
Neutrino product on the web site anymore. It is hiding under name ‘RTOS
Components’ in the ‘QNX4’ section! If you follow ‘QNX Neutrino
Datasheet’ link, you can read that it supports many architectures, it
suggests you to choose right CPU for your project, then it suggests to
follow ‘Support Hardware’ link for latest information… which contains
only RTP and QNX4, both x86 only!

I was interested to find out which SCSI drivers exist for PPC (and I
believe I’ve seen some in the older version of HCL), but there is
nothing to even look at now. Also, last update for OEM version (beta3)
was in june, isn’t that little bit old considering pace of updates for
RTP?

What one might conclude from that experience? Did you guys drop the OEM
Neutrino 2.1 altogether? Did you drop other architectures and decided to
concentrate on x86?

Look in http://qdn.qnx.com/support/hardware/platform/processors.html for
Neutrino processor support.

We are working on a new hardware grid format for Host/Target systems.
(Host=QNX RTP Target=Neutrino).

It isn’t available yet…it’s lotsa work to organize this data, as you can
imagine…what modules are available for what processors, etc. This will
include the Neutrino 2.1 drivers/components you are referring to.

There are no scsi drivers for PPC at this time. The last nto update posted
was in Aug. (000818.nto.v2.10.beta.tar.gz).
