I’ve been reading around forums and the newsgroup and have learned
quite a bit about it. But there is still much to learn.
I’ve been working with a pre-built qnx installation. We’ve got a
spare machine with the SBC-456/E Revision B1.0 card and a 64 MB
compact flash hard drive.
Here are some details on the card:
- Onboard AMD 486DX5-133 CPU (SQFP)
- SM712 LCD controller with 2MB EDO memory
- One 10/100Base-T Fast Ethernet
- Supports DiskOnChip® up to 1GB and Compact Flash™ Memory
- Four Com Ports
- PC/104 expansion connector
I want to start out small. I’ve been trying to build a .boot file for
about a week just by reading posts and trying out the System Builder.
I’ve had no luck. Mostly because I have no clue about what I’m doing.
I don’t even know what to use for the target system. I’ve never
gone into this side of things.
I currently just want to start up, mount the compact flash (EIDE), and
run a shell script that has the standard mkdir, cp, mv, ls, rm Can
anyone help steer me in the right direction of where to begin?
Thanks a lot for helping out a new user, I’m VERY excited about
getting started.
I’ve managed to build a boot file that will boot up and mount hd0t79
as thedisk3, cd to it, then ls
It appears to go into the console afterwards which is exactly what I
want) but I cannot type. I have a standard ps/2 keyboard. It just
sits at
[] <–flashing cursor
This is really no big deal for what I am curretnly trying to
accomplish, but I would really like to be able to just boot straight
to the console in the future.
Good work so far!
Had the same problem starting out, about a year ago now.
Did you open a console?
Make sure early on in your script you have:
devc-con -n4 &
reopen /dev/con1
slogger &
Later on:
Some common servers
pipe &
mqueue &
devc-ser8250 -e &
devc-pty &
And finally to open consoles:
Start some extra shells on other consoles
reopen /dev/con2
[+session] sh &
reopen /dev/con3
[+session] sh &
Start a high priority shell just in case…
reopen /dev/con4
[pri=25 +session] sh &
Start the main shell
reopen /dev/con1
[+session] sh
Be sure not to lock the shell by starting a command that won’t finish back
to the shell. I believe you can also switch to other consoles by pressing
(right) ctrl+alt (+shift?)+1/2/3/4.
You can also read the Help in QNX and search for building a boot image,
you’ll find some basic examples included there.
