| NOTE: |
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). |
