CDRW...

I know I saw some post about CDRWs on here somewhere, but I can’t find
them…
Does any body know how close cdrecord is to being ported to QNX 6.x?
And I know someone said that a DVD raw drive worked just like a hard drive
under QNX 6.x, is there any info avaliable on compatability or specific
requirement
for the drives to function properly?

CDRW still do not work. DVD-RAM drives do work, no specific requirements. I
tried Toshiba and Panasonic. Don’t confuse DVD-RAM with other DVD types
though…

If Windows “can do that” (i.e. write CDs), then why not write your

I guess fording creeks just never was a specification for

If QNX gets CD writing capability then cool (sort of like a
Lamborghini with an air suspension, balloon tires, and a winch),
but hey, it’s not like it’s a must have, or anything…

This may be a silly question but, do DVD-RAM drives have different types of
DVDs? Like write once or rewritable, or is the a “DVD-RAM” only media?

About the CDRWs…
…this is from the cdrecord web site:
Operating systems with ports in alpha or beta:
SCO Openserver 5.x → Port integrated in cdrecord-1.8a22, or get a binary
from skunkware as custom installable binary.
SCO Unixware 2 / Unixware 7 → Port on skunkware as custom installable
binary.
OS/2 → Port underway; a binary may be retrieved here.
Ultrix → Port lost due to a disk crash.
QNX → Port underway.
Last thing I heard the interface driver for the IDE/WhatEverTypeOfBus
didn’t support the “features” needed to support porting cdrecord.
So when you say CDRW still do not work, what degree of still not working do
you mean? Has the [SCSI./ATAPI/IDE?] driver been updated to support the
features required to write to CDRW? It’s get’s alot of bad press when I
tell management that this great wiz bang “realtime” operating system can’t
even support someone writing software to burn CD’s. They just look at me
cross eyed and say “Windows can do that.”

Agreed - but analogies aside and on a more practical note : QNX does get
used for high integrity applications (like Windoze cannot do) that generate
a lot of data logs that customers need to keep in the event of some future
comeback e.g. medical & air traffic control systems. This data needs to be
transferred off the local hard drive onto a long term storage medium such as
CD or tape. Neither of these backup media are currently supported, which
does nothing for QNX6’s reputation when you have to explain that a system
needs an extra Windoze/Linux PC just to provide the required data archiving
facility.

This may be a silly question but, do DVD-RAM drives have different types
of
DVDs? Like write once or rewritable, or is the a “DVD-RAM” only media?

It has to be DVD-RAM media. They are like huge floppies in the sense that
they support direct positioning, so the software treats them just like HD or
a floppy. They come in cartriges (looking like a 3.5" floppy on steroids),
but some (single sided) can be removed/inserted from/to cartridge while
others (dual sided) can not. Some DVD players (4th generation) can play
DVD-RAM media when it is removed from a cartrige. They are only writable
when in a cartridge. Any supported filesystem can be used, although UDF is
preferable (not available for QNX).

I hate the notion of trying to explain to a tech that you can only burn CD’s
after you reboot into Windows. It’s a sloppy work around. I may try
dropping the files on Win 2K box over the network, and tell them to do
backups from there, at least then they don’t have to take the teststation

Igor, to you and Bob (who happen to need CDRW for your

To 99% of the rest of QNX users, it is a very low

QNX was successfully being used in 24 Channel digital recording
consoles, back in the 80’s when it was challenging.

Well, if QNX had Disk driver DDK, I’d suggest that you go
and write one if it’s so easy; however, they don’t, and I
would rather they concentrate on doing that (the guys who
would be developing the CDWR are the same guys who would
be developing the DDK, so it is direct resource
contention). If you want to bitch about the lack of a
disk driver DDK, I’ll bang the drum with you.

myself, but I know some Linux/GNU people have been toying around with QNX.

Yes, take a look at DCMD_CAM_PASS_THRU. Theoretically you can pass any low
level commands directly to any device. The caveats are that

  1. this is not documented at all, nor there are any publicly available
    examples;
  2. it is dangerous, since you will be doing things underneath of the drivers
    and canmess the whole thing easily;

Since you appear to be a customer with business case, I suggest you contact
your sales rep and/or your TAM. Or open a PR. When enough people do that, it
is ought to affect their schedule.

You could also try (through your sales rep) to obtain source of some devb
driver and source of some utility (e.g., fdformat) using PASS_TRHU and try
to port stuff from Linux. It is conceivable to port something like cdrecord
that way, but won’t be easy.

Yup. If not the loophole with DVD-RAM we would have had to drop QNX

I am talking about using old excuses to justify the shortcomings.

Igor, to you and Bob (who happen to need CDRW for your
applications) it is like no wipers on the windshield.

It is that way to anyone actually, just happens that most folks don’t drive
their Lamborginies in the rain… As I explained elsewhere, the lack of CDRW
support is mostly due to the rudimentary CAM facilities and the lack of
documentation on the DCMD_CAM_PASS_THRU. Lack of the disk DDK does not help
either. All of that is not generally tied to the CDRW support - those are
generic infrasrtructure features that would help other things too. You see,
the windshield has a tendency to get dirty and having the wipers would be
beneficial, rain or no rain…

To 99% of the rest of QNX users, it is a very low
priority. There are embedded applications where I
can see a need (in fact I almost worked on a project
where there was a need), but those customers should be
willing to put up the money to get it done.

I don’t think you can speak for 99%. Even if you could, one could argue that
the remaining 1% of customers would be more inclined to use another OS than
to pay QNX for doing things that are generally considered a part of an OS
infrastructure. Whether or not that bothers QNX is another subject… IMHO
it is fair enough to ask customers to pay for specific features, but it is
not particularly fair to make them pay for the infrastructure. I’d agree
that a customer should pay for the development of a recorder application if
he needs one, but the API and docs are OS vendor’s responsibility.

So if you feel it’s that important (and you work for
a company with deep pockets like Moto), then by all
means fund QSSL to develop this stuff, It’ll be cool
to burn my iso’s on my QNX box instead of my Windows
box, but I don’t want to pay for it (although I might

FYI, Moto did cough up the cash for making DVD-RAMs writable under QNX. They
were threated like CDROMs originally.

We use DVD RAM from Toshiba with QNX6.2.

Yust now there is a new model Panasonic LF-D321E which is able to read/write
DVD-RAM and also write once DVD-R media. I hope there should be no problem
with DVD-RAM but should we be able to sequentially burn a raw image to
DVD-R.
Just quite suitable feature for our project of audio and video loggers.

Does any body know how close cdrecord is to being ported to QNX 6.x?


Whatever happened with “cdrecord” for QNX? The web site

That may have discouraged others from working on the problem.
Anybody planning to finish the job?
