I have a Motorola Sandpoint evaluation system. It is just a PowerPc chip on
a motherboard that will support PCI, ROM and other PC like devices.
However, from what I understand, I need to compile a QNX kernel to embed on
to this Sandpoint system. My question is how do I compile a QNX kernel so I
can download it and embed it on to my Sandpoint system, or just in general
how do I compile a QNX kernel into my source code?
Thanks in advance for any information provided.

You need to make an image (which combines the kernel+drivers+your program) to
upload to your board. You don’t compile the kernel persae. Check out the
build scripts under /ppcbe/boot/build to create an image. Take a look at
the mkifs utility used to create an image to upload to the board. Finally,
take a look the Monitor software that may have come with your board. The documents
for your Monitor software should tell you how to load an image onto the board.
If you’d like to get the embedding SDK for the platform you have (ie. PPC).
Check out betas.qnx.com to sign up and download the SDK.
