BSP and QNX 6.2 NC

Hi everybody,

where are the BSP’s under 6.2 NC? I need to get QNX running on some odd X86
hardware without BIOS (it’s an AMD Elan 410) and I wanted to use 6.2 but I
can’t find the x86 BSP…
Cheers

BSPs don’t come with NC (other than Ipaq). I believe they are part of PE.

According to my information, NC includes
x86 & ARM little endian (for iPAQ) CPU support.

However, only the iPAQ BSP is included in NC.
On the face of it a discrepancy, but I suppose
the x86 support allows you to target a standard PC, but
for x86 BSP you will have to “upgrade”.

SE includes a number of BSPs, including x86 BSP.

SE does not include BSPs.

It looks like we will have to qualify what BSP means,
which is to be expected, as there is no industry wide definition
of a BSP.

According to http://www.qnx.com/products/ps_momentics/
-Multi-target (Reference platform runtimes) are included in SE.
(ie binaries only).
-BSP sources (17 BSPs, 25 boards) are not included in SE.

Thanks for picking up on that one!

You’re right … When I think of BSPs I generally think of
source code. So … It looks like we’re both right (or wrong) :slight_smile:
