Porting QNX to new hardware platform

QNX Newsgroups (Archives) qnx.evaluation

I am trying to evaluate the effort for porting QNX for a new hardware
platform with a new processor (ARM based). I’ve downloaded and installed the
evaluation version of Momentics 6.3.0. P.E… However, when I tried to
download some sample BSPs from the website, I was told that I must “register
a valid 6.3.x license for this BSP source product”. I input the serial
number and passwd for my evaluation Momentics, it doesn’t work.

Questions:

  1. Do I have to purchase an official version for BSP development?
  2. Is there any documentation regarding porting QNX to new hardware
    platform? It seems I cannot find one that covers this topic in the doc list.

Isn’t the “Building Embedded Systems” section in the docs what you’re
looking for? I used that as my reference.

I think BSP are independent products/pieces from the P.E. development
system. I would suggest talking to a sales representative about getting
access to a BSP for evaluation purposes.

Building Embedded Systems has sections on this – in particular chapters
4 (Writing an IPL program) and 5 (Customizing Image Startup programs).

Thanks. But I cannot find any sample code for it.
Do I have to purchase a source BSP? Is there any source BSP free
downloadable?
