I notice that the ipl-rpx-lite and the startup-rpx-lite are included in
the ppc support in PE, but there is no docs on any of it - I would
actually love to have had the bsp included in the ppc bsp’s.
In particular, I would like to find the secret to get this to boot out
of flash. I have installed both the ipl and boot image in flash (I
think) but am not sure of the next step.
Hints would be appreciated.

Since you were able to tftp a QNX load on target, I guess you can see
BootLoader prompt. Embedded Planet BL has a very nice ‘Autoboot’ feature. If
‘Autoboot’ is set then BL jumps at ‘Start’ address.
Type ‘set’. You’ll see a bunch of settings, do:
Start=<your_ipl_phys_address>
Autoboot=Confirm
store
reset
In a few seconds QNX prompt should pop up. If the card resets then ‘Start’
address is wrong or ipl is not binary but s-records 
If my memory doesn’t fail me, ipl code starts at offset 0x100 in the image
(never had time to figure out why). E.g. if the image is deployed at 1M
offset then Start=ff100100.
Cheers,
Dmitri

OK, I have loaded into flash the ipl-rpx-lite at ff08 0000 and the boot
image at ff08 1000. From the boot loader I can confirm that the images
appear to be correctly loaded into flash. ie.
du ff08000 200
shows 256 bytes of 0’s followed by some binary data. Using your example
and what I had tried before, I then did:
g ff080100
which responded with:
Returned from user code with result -98557088
It was my understanding that the ipl would scan for the boot image and
do it’s thing?
