Installing BSP for Freescale Lite5200B

QNX DEVELOPERS Realtime and Embedded

I have recently built the Neutrino O/S for a Lite5200B eval board and (finally) got it to transfer from my PC to the target board.

Now I am having trouble booting it.

Here’s what happens:

=> tftp 20000 $(bootfile);run nfsargs addip;bootm
Net: FEC ETHERNET
Using FEC ETHERNET device
TFTP from server 10.0.0.2; our IP address is 10.0.0.1
Filename ‘bsp-freescale-mgt5200b.ifs’.
Load address: 0x20000

=> go 20000

Welcome to QNX Neutrino 6.3 on the Freescale Lite5200B/Media5200

Unfortunately, thats it! The only thing I can do at this point is hit the reset button and start over.

Anyone out there ever successfully install QNX on this target board???

Sincerely,
Frank

OK, We have made considerable progress.
It turns out that the problem was that the QNX BSP for the Lite5200 was delivered without certain critical components installed (e.g. network, serial terminal and numerous other things)

Once we got all those things installed in the shell script bsp-freescale-mgt5200b.bsh
the process went rather smoothly.

Next challenge is installing a file system on the IDE interface…
(suggestions are solicited… I am having trouble finding the right place in the documentation to do this step)
