For information about what's in this TDK, see the release notes. For the latest version, go to our website, www.qnx.com, log into your myQNX account, and then go to the Download Center.

Installing this TDK

Before you install this TDK, you must have already installed QNX Momentics 6.3.0 and Service Pack 1 or later on a supported host. Remember where you install the TDK, because you'll need to know the directory if you want to uninstall the TDK.

Each Board Support Package, Driver Development Kit, Technology Development Kit, and Source Kit contains a standalone directory hierarchy. If you're installing more than one of these products, don't combine the directories, or you might overwrite some of the files.

On a Windows host

If you've installed QNX Momentics versions 6.2.1 and 6.3.0 so that they coexist on your Windows host, please note:

You can't install a 6.3.0 TDK or BSP when the active version is QNX Momentics 6.2.1; set your configuration to 6.3.0.
If you switch from 6.2.1 to 6.3.0, you may have to log out of your user session and log back in before installing 6.3.0 BSPs and TDKs.

Log in as a user with system-administrator privileges.
Log into your myQNX account on our website, and then go to the Download Center.
Download the TDK package, tdk-ida-1.0.0-nnnnnnnnnnn-win32.exe, where nnnnnnnnnnn is an 11-digit build number. The package is in the form of an executable (.exe) file.
Double-click the file in Windows Explorer or run it at the command line.
Follow the instructions provided by InstallShield.

Windows XP SP2 may display a security warning the first time you install a TDK. You can verify the TDK's checksums when you download the file from our website.

On a Solaris or Linux host

Log in as root.
Log into your myQNX account on our website, and then go to the Download Center.
Download the TDK package, tdk-ida-1.0.0-nnnnnnnnnnn-host.bin, where host is either solaris or linux, and nnnnnnnnnnn is an 11-digit build number. The package is in the form of a .bin script.
Run chmod to make the script executable. For example:
```
chmod a+x tdk-ida-1.0.0-20061234567-linux.bin
```

Run the script at the system prompt. For example:

$./tdk-ida-1.0.0-20061234567-linux.bin

The graphical installer doesn't work on some versions of Linux, such as Linux Red Hat EL Workstation 5. Run the installer in console mode instead:
```
$./tdk-ida-1.0.0-20061234567-linux.bin -console
```
If the installer prints many dots but never actually starts, it's looking for a suitable version of Java. You can speed this up by setting the JAVA_HOME variable. For example in the bash shell:
```
export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java
  
```
or:
```
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2rel1.4.2_09
  
```

Follow the instructions provided by InstallShield.

On a QNX Neutrino host

Log in as root.
Log into your myQNX account on our website, and then go to the Download Center.
Download the TDK package, tdk-ida-1.0.0-nnnnnnnnnnn-nto.sh, where nnnnnnnnnnn is an 11-digit build number. The package is in the form of a shell script.
Run chmod to make the script executable. For example:
```
chmod a+x tdk-ida-1.0.0-20061234567-nto.sh
```
Run the script at the system prompt. For example:
```
$./tdk-ida-1.0.0-20061234567-nto.sh
```
Follow the instructions on your screen.

Uninstalling this TDK

On a Windows host

Log in as a user with system-administrator privileges.
Open the Control Panel (e.g. on Windows 2000: Start-->Settings-->Control Panel).
Select Add or Remove Programs.
Select the Instant Device Activation TDK, and then click the Remove button.

On a Solaris or Linux host

Log in as root.
Go to the installation_dir/_uninstall/tdk-ida/1.0.0 directory, where installation_dir is the directory that you installed the TDK in.
Start the QNX InstallShield application:
```
./uninstaller.bin
```
InstallShield will now remove the TDK.

On a QNX Neutrino host

Log in as root.
Go to the installation_dir/install/tdk-ida/1.0.0 directory, where installation_dir is the directory that you installed the TDK in.
Run the uninstaller script:
```
./uninstall.sh
```

Documentation

The functionality provided by this TDK is described in the Instant Device Activation User's Guide in the online documentation. On self-hosted Neutrino systems, look in the Helpviewer; on other hosts, use a browser to display ${QNX_TARGET}/usr/help/product/ida_tdk_en/bookset.html.
