QNX® Momentics® 6.2.1 PE - ADI BRH XScale 80200 BSP - Binary Bundle - Install Notes

QNX® Momentics® 6.2.1 PE

ADI BRH XScale 80200 BSP - Binary Bundle

Installation Note

Date of this edition: August 19, 2003

Target OS: QNX® Neutrino® 6.2.1

Host OS: Microsoft Windows XP/2K/NT4 SP6A, Sun Solaris 7/8, QNX Neutrino 6.2.1

For the latest information about this BSP, see the release notes.
Never use the QNX Software Installer through a phditto/phrelay session, because:
  • the installer can't detect multiple instances of itself through a phditto/phrelay session
  • when running the reboot script, the installer can try to shut down the system, but it doesn't know how to shut down phditto/phrelay sessions properly (phshutdown, which you normally use to reboot, does know how to handle these sessions).
