Background: I have the QNX license key and have installed the VMWare target image from the QNX website into the VMWare. I have the QNX target RTOS running as a VM and my host machine has a QNX momentics IDE that can recognize the QNX target OS.
Problem: I have the license for the latest QNX SDP 7 and the only VMWare compatible image I could find on the QNX website is an older QNX 6.5(?). A simple 'hello world' program (the demo program that ships with the Momentics IDE) will not run on the QNX target OS because it is missing certain libraries.
I need to either:
- Acquire the methodology to boot the latest version of QNX RTOS on VMWare. I have searched and searched in vain but this procedure is not described. The QNX SDP should have a way to create a bootable QNX RTOS for VMWare but the procedure is not listed anywhere (I have searched for days now!)
OR
- Find a way to use the Momentics IDE 7.0 with the older version of QNX RTOS that I have.
Questions:
- How do create a bootable QNX RTOS ISO and load it into VMWare using the QNX SDP 7.0?
- Make simple C/C++ programs created with QNX Momentics 7.0 run on the older version of QNX RTOS I have?
Addendum
These are the instructions they provide on how to acquire the latest QNX RTOS VMWare image. They say:
We provide a VMware image that's compatible with VMware Workstation Pro 12.0 or later, VMware Workstation Player 12.0 or later, and VMware Fusion Pro 8.0 or later. This image is a minimal QNX Neutrino system. You can download a VMware image from the QNX Software Center by choosing the Available tab, expanding the Reference Images list, expanding the Tools list, and then choosing the appropriate virtual machine.
However, there's no 'reference images' or 'tools' or 'available tab' or anything like that in the software center (see images).
