Question
________________________________________________________________________
Where do you get virtual machine reference images for QNX 7.1?
________________________________________________________________________
Solution________________________________________________________________________
For 7.1, we do not offer Virtual Machine reference images.
Instead, you can use the new mkqnximage utility to create a virtual machine image.
For example, to create a new VMware virtual machine from a commandline, run
$mkqnximage --type=vmware
This will generate some files in your current folder, and a .vmx file that can be opened with VMware will be located in the created local/vmware_files folder. The tool will also create other files that can be used to customize your created VM.
You can also create a new virtual machine from the Momentics IDE.
From the menu bar, select File -> New -> Other..., then select QNX Target under Launch Targets. From there, select "Create a QNX Virtual Machine Target Instead". This will create a virtual machine inside your current workspace.
The full documentation for the tool is available here:
