While this may seem like an obvious first step, it's amazing
the number of people who don't do this!
All the manuals for the
QNX Neutrino operating system are online:
- Building Embedded Systems
- This guide contains all the information you'll need to “embed”
QNX Neutrino—that is, to get a QNX Neutrino system up and running.
It has chapters on the development environment (how to compile, link, and
debug a QNX Neutrino program), building images (how to get a system image created,
how to embed this image into a deeply embedded system, how to get it
“running” on a supported platform), and some design notes.
- C Library Reference
- The “A through Z” of the C library—use this to find
information about each and every function call that's provided by QNX Neutrino's
C library.
This is the ultimate “authority” on function calls. Often in
this book, I've referred you to this library (for example, to find out more about
a particular function, such as arguments that aren't commonly used).
- System Architecture
- A “top-level” architecture document, the
System Architecture guide describes the QNX Neutrino
system from a high-level view, giving enough details about the implementation
that you can get a good idea of what the pieces are and how they all fit
together.
- Technotes
- The technotes describe special features of QNX Neutrino
and may vary from release to release.
Take a look at the online version to see what's in the release you
currently have.
- User's Guide
- This guide is intended for all
users of a QNX Neutrino system, from system administrators to end users.
This guide tells you how to:
- Use the QNX Neutrino runtime environment, regardless of the
kind of computer it's running on (embedded system or desktop).
Think of this guide as the companion how-to doc for the
Utilities Reference.
Assuming there's a QNX Neutrino system prompt
waiting for input, this guide is intended to help you learn how to interact with that prompt.
- Perform such traditional system administration topics as setting up user
accounts, security, starting up a QNX Neutrino machine, etc.
- Utilities Reference
- This guide is the “A through Z” of the command-line utilities available.
It covers all command-line utilities such as grep,
make, ls, etc.
- Audio Developer's Guide
- This guide describes how to develop audio applications.
- Programmer's Guide
- The QNX Neutrino Programmer's Guide
and this book both describe how to develop applications and resource managers,
but from somewhat different perspectives.
