Target launcher@<localhost:8000>: Error Invalid argument set

Can someone translate “Invalid argument setting working dir /tmp/” to
English for me.

That is the error message I get when I try to execute “Hello, World” on my
target. My target has a /tmp directory and it is running qconn. The
exectuable is transferred into the /tmp directory but is doesn’t execute and
I get that error message.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Version clash? Are both the host (IDE) and target (qconn) from the same
release of Momentics?

Are you trying to execute something on the target
using the “on” command?

Remote execution in QNX has weird semantics. Filenames
are normally relative to the source machine. Your
program may be trying to access “/tmp” on the source
machine, but networking may not allow that.

The help page for “on” may be helpful.

Wouldn’t it be reasonable for the new version in the IDE to display a
message that qconn on the target is an old incompatable version? Better
still, it could fall back to the old mode of operating, realizing that some
new features won’t work.

Matt,

I just solved the same problem: it was a clash in versions of qconn.

The QNX 6.2.1 disk is (as someone else here pointed out) actually 6.2.0, but
patches the OS in the last part of the install. If you do not complete the
installation, many of the utilities and drivers (notably devn-rtl.so and
qconn) are old versions.

Copy the qconn binary across from the host computer and it will work.

Lovely error message, though, isn’t it?

Robert.
