Hi!
How can I learn porting? Is there any tutorial? What should I read?
TIA

All you have to do is learn and memorize every possible pitfall for every OS
there is, including QNX and don’t do them.
(Boy! Like that was hard?)

A good place to start is the QNX Programmer’s Guide. It has information
about writing interrupt handlers, resource managers, makefiles, etc. This
document is available with a QNX 6 distribution. If you really want to get
your feet wet, you should probably try porting something from Linux to QNX.
Something simple like a /dev/zero driver. Or maybe a simple parallel port
reading/writing application. I know from my experience that the best way to
learn is to start with a problem and commit to finishing it. And if you
need help, the qdn ngs are here. Just make sure to put some thought into
your questions 
Good luck.
