Hello - I’m new to QNX and have been tossed into the thick of things. I
need to know how to create a QNX boot disk (floppy) for a WinSystems PCM-SX
PC-104 card that utilizes a DiskOnChip flash-disk. I have QNX Neutrino
installed on my computer so I would like to take it from there. Eventually,
I will need to boot the PCM-SX from the flash disk itself.
Can anyone point me to the (any) documentation on how to go about doing
this? I am assuming that I need to create or find a buildfile for this
card, that includes the drivers for the DOC as well as the mkdisk utility so
that as the system is running off of the floppy, I can then format teh DOC
and somhow get the image over there.
Any pointers, documentation or just help in general will be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Dave Herold
I don’t know if you’ll get all the utils on to a floppy disk that you’ll
need to transfer the image and format the DOC. Why don’t you just boot from
an IDE then transfer the image to the DOC. I have done this and it works
great. (Except for the fact that I have to unplug the IDE everytime I want
test the DOC.)
Here is a link to the embedded docs, it’s a good place to get started.

Asking more specific questions will yield a better response.

Hi
You can refer to my article on building images at
http://www.qnx.com/developer/articles/index.html?article=oct1901b .
Flash disk shouldn’t be a problem as it involves just using the DOC
driver. Standard methods of trasfering the image to disk apply.

One more thing I’d like to tell… you’ll need 6.0/6.1 or 6.2 SE/PE for
development as the required tools have been removed from 6.2 NC.
