During the boot-up process in QNX 4, if you hit the ‘esc’ key, it takes you
to the text-mode and you can still access all the files. But in QNX 6.3,
when I hit the ‘esc’ key , it comes up with several options like “safe mode
boot up etc.”, but always takes me into photon. How do I boot directly into
the text-mode on Qnx 6.3?

I’d appreciate your suggestions.

You just need to create an empty file called /etc/system/config/nophoton
(e.g. touch /etc/system/config/nophoton).

This takes me directly to text mode. I’d like to have the option to boot
either directly to photon or if I hit ‘esc’, into text mode.

Thanks,
Shashank

Click Shutdown, and then choose “Exit to text mode” in the shutdown
dialog.

Sounds like the OP really needs a /etc/system/config/altnophoton
but sorry it doesn’t exist :slight_smile:

Maybe one for the suggestion box?

Build custom image with no photon and place it as /.altboot

I am new to QNX 6.3. Can someone give me a brief description on how to build
a custom image with no photon?

I looked at the “/boot” directory and saw a few script files that let you
build a custom image. But I am stilla little confused.

I appreciate your suggestions

There is no brief description. You have to read QNX documentation.

  1. mkifs (make image file system)
    http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.3.0SP1/neutrino/utilities/m/mkifs.h
    tml

  2. QNX Neutrino User Guide
    http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.3.0SP1/neutrino/user_guide/starting
    …html

  3. All scripts started by /etc/system/sysinit

Actually ‘tinit -p’ brings Photon login screen, so read also
http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.3.0SP1/neutrino/utilities/t/tinit.h
tml

And couple of technical articles should help you
http://www.qnx.com/developers/articles/article_310_3.html
http://www.qnx.com/developers/articles/article_311_3.html


I think the best way is to declare some environment variable in
alternative image, and use that variable in a script instead of
…nophoton file (or in addition to).

Is there any PCI Data Acquisition card with analog inputs and outputs
available for QNX 6.3?

Best,

thinking about it, the Diamond Systems’ boards are probably not PCI,
sorry (while still remarkable ones, and anyway only in '104 form factor)

I’ve always used Advantech, http://www.advantech.com/products/sub_category.asp?category_id=1-UC8SC&BU=eA
Mainly due to there being a local distributor for us but the manufacturing quality is good and questions are answered, albeit sometimes just a “don’t know”.

As for driver writing, that’s one of the nice features of QNX, you can hit the hardware anywhere you like. The OS doesn’t care if a widget callback pokes the parallel port directly or mmap()s a custom framebuffer or whatever. The only requirement is permission.

The primary permission for all such operations is root user access and the program must execute ThreadCtl( _NTO_TCTL_IO, 0 );

Hi,

I’m trying to mount a remote Windows machine share onto a local
directory. I know how to do it on the command line, but it’s hard to find
any documentation on how to do it inside a program (if it’s possible at
all). I’m using QNX 6.3.

I suppose the mount() function doesn’t work for this kind of thing,
because the first argument is a device to mount, and a Windows machine on
the network isn’t really considered a device…?

Can anyone help ?

The mount function works :

if you want to mount the share “share” on the server “smbserver” using
the username “user”
with password “pass” on the directory /mnt/win :

mount ("//SMBSERVER:SMBSERVER:SHARE", “/mnt/win”, 0, “cifs”,
“user,pass”, -1)

Can anyone help ?

You can use the fs-cifs command to mount a windows diretory on to a QNX
directory.

fs-cifs -a hostname:/Windows_share_name /network username password

will mount the windows directory “Window_share_name” on to you local QNX
“/network” directory.

Within your program, build this command into an array and invoke it using
the “popen” function.

Sorry for the little mistake, the mount call must be (don’t forget the
‘/’ in the share name) :
mount ("//SMBSERVER:SMBSERVER:/SHARE", “/mnt/win”, 0, “cifs”,
“user,pass”, -1);

Hello,

We have a few photon applications running in the foreground and our servo
running in the background. When, we increase the priority of our servo,
photon really slows down. I would like to increase the priority of photon. I
tried increasing the priority of the photon window manager"pwm" but it made
no difference. Which process controls the photon apps?

I would apprecaite your input.

Thanks,
Shashank
