QNX® Momentics® 6.2.1 PE - Renesas SystemH Amanda System Board (ASB) BSP - Install Notes

QNX® Momentics® 6.2.1 PE

Renesas SystemH Amanda System Board (ASB) BSP

Installation Note

Date of this edition: October 29, 2003

Target OS: QNX® Neutrino® 6.2.1 Patch B

Host OS: Microsoft Windows XP/2K/NT SP4, Sun Solaris 2.8, QNX® Neutrino® 6.2.1B

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).
