This BSP was originally released for use with QNX Momentics 6.3.0.
The prebuilt binaries in this BSP are compatible with 6.3.0 SP1, and
with serial driver changes the source is also compatible.
The technical note, Migrating QNX Momentics 6.3.0 Board Support Packages
(BSPs) to QNX Momentics 6.3.0 SP1,
(found in the Download Center of myQNX) explains:
- How to create the OS image based on existing 6.3.0 BSP binaries.
- How to modify the serial driver source code to be SP1-compatible.
![Note:](/images/docs/pointing.gif) |
A fully modified serial driver (i.e. devc-ser8250) is provided as an
example in the Character DDK for 6.3.0 SP1.

Each BSP guide contains board-specific information and
instructions on building an OS image for that particular
board.
The procedure for building BSPs has changed since QNX
Momentics 6.2.1. For instance, you must now run the
. ./setenv.sh script before compiling your BSP
source. For details, see the chapter "Working with a
BSP" in the Building Embedded Systems
manual (in the Documentation Roadmap page under the QNX
Neutrino RTOS section). |
When you install BSPs, you'll find the source code and
documentation in the following locations:
