Is there already a QNX 6.3.0 version for iPaq/eQip 3870 available?
If yes, Where can I find it?
If no, how can I create ist myself?

If you checkout the code from CVS you can compile your own image
under 6.3.0. There are still some issues with the Photon hooks which
is why new images have not been released yet.

Ok, thank you.
But how can I create a 6.3.0 Kernel to boot the eQip from
or to flash into the eQip, respectively?
Can you give me the command sequence, pleaase.
Do I need special boot code and where can I find it?

IF you have 6.3.0 installed, go to the sourceforge project page to
get the details on checking out the code from CVS. Once you have it
you can just run the build-world script and then go into build/ipaq
and run make. This will give you a complete 6.3.0 system, boot image
and flash image.

To be able to build the system I had to modify the following:
- chmod a+x build-world build/ipaq/genefs.sh
- In build/ipaq/genefs.sh changed #!/bn/bash to #!/bin/sh
After that, I was able to build the it all.

By the looks of things, the efs you loaded on the board had no
executable bits for your binaries (errno 13) - Chris may have more
details on this.
Thanks,

Yep, the issue is that you MUST use bash as your shell. If you don’t

Can I use bash from 6.2.1 repository, or is there a new one for 6.3.0 ?

I’m still unable to generate a running qnx 6.3.0 on the iPqq 3870.
I did the whole build with bash installed. Same result as before.
Then I did again it with login as root. No success.

errno 13 is EPERM, which means that you are missing the +x bits on your

I think I might know what is wrong. If you check the
build-world script it sets some environment variables,
specifically QCONF_OVERRIDE. You will have to set that before
you do a build. You must be getting errors during the building

Ignore this - I am way off base. It seems that the pre-built
binaries are not coming out of cvs “chmod 755” for you. So just
do this…
cd eqip/binaries
find . -type f | grep -v CVS | xargs chmod 755
…and rebuild all your imagess. I will update the .mkifs scripts
for eQip to force these attributes.

Now the system runs on my eQip.
But I’m getting only icons and no text on the screen.
Is there any development activity on this platform?

Can this project be made compatible with the momentics IDE?
I downloaded it from CVS as a Momentics project.
But it is only visible in the fille navigator, not as C project.

No Text? That is very odd. You are building this under Neutrino
right? And yes, there is development. There are a few rough edges
still with the pwm theme system changing and our hooks needing some
updated from 6.2.1.

On the iPaq I can see all icons and they are working.
But no text.
Not near the icons nor in the title bar nor in the footer.
No text in the applications (like sysinfo).
I can play freecell but can’t see any menu.
But the font directory looks ok (via login over the serial port).
From the serial login all looks working fine.
I was not able to start the network though.
I’m using a NE2000 compatible card in a Jacket with two CF-card slots.
What can I do so that the system recognizes this card and starts the
network?
Do I need to activate the jacket/sleeve?
Can I run QNET and TCP/IP on the iPaq in this configuration?
TIA

What is the output of “pin” when you insert the card? It is likely that
