Intel motherboard and QNX 4.25

I’m interested in an Intel motherboard, the D865GBF for use with QNX 4.25.
It has the following Ethernet options:

  • 82562EZ PLC, or 82547EI PLC

If anyone has any comments on this, I would appreciate hearing from them.

I am also interested in any comments regarding “hyperthreading” Intel CPUs
running QNX. It appears that some BIOSs allow disabling of this feature, but
I would like to know if anyone has encountered any problems regardless.

Thanks,

Kevin

The ethernet should work with the Net.ether82557 driver, but you might have
to specify the Vendor and Device IDs on the command line with the -V and -D
options.
The board should run QNX4, but you won’t have hyper threading of course. I
have run QNX4 on a P4 2.6Ghz machine, with no problems.

Which of the Ethernet options will work with the 82557 driver?

As I said before, the -V and -D command line options might be necessary to
start the Net.ether82557 driver.
Net.ether82557 -V8086 -Dnnnn, where nnnn is the deivce ID of the ethernet
chip. Do a ‘show_pci -v’ to get the vendor and device IDs.
