Hi,
I am booting QNX 6.1 form PC104 board with DiskOnChip and I am using console
redirection to the serial port. As a terminal I’m using HyperTerminal and I
can see all the message during the boot period and the shell prompt but I
can’t enter commands. So , do I need any other redirection except
[type link] /dev/console = /dev/ser1 ?
Below is the build file
Thanks

Cheat and make the /temp point to the shared memory area…
[type=link] /tmp=/dev/shmem
Redirect console messages
[type=link] /dev/console=/dev/ser1
Programs require the runtime linker (ldqnx.so) to be at a fixed location
[type=link] /usr/lib/ldqnx.so.2=/proc/boot/libc.so
We use the “c” shared lib (which also contains the runtime linker)
libc.so
Just incase someone needs floating point…
fpemu.so.2
Include the socket library
libsocket.so
Include the hard disk files so we can access files on the disk
libcam.so
io-blk.so
filesystem required shared libs
cam-disk.so
fs-qnx4.so
The files above this line can be shared by mutiple processes
[data=c]
Executables must currently be below this line
Include a console driver
devc-con
devc-ser8250
Include DiskOnChip driver.
devb-doc

pci-bios
seedres
I’ve used a configuration just like yours with no problems. The redirection
you are using should be sufficient. I hate to state the obvious, but check
your TxD serial line… It’s happened to me more than once 
Good luck,
Mike

I fixed it…
I simply copied the devc-ser driver options from a ppc build file and I use
x86 system 
Obviously it shouldn’t work
Thanks!
