Hi, We have tried booting the ‘tezi_qnx_bsp_imx8qm-cpu-apalis_b0.zip’, which was generated from the build we did for QNX hypervisor. We are using qnx 7.1. The BSP we used is: ‘BSP_apalis-imx8qm_br-710_be-710_SVN983083_JBN12.zip’. Is there any steps we can try to boot QNX in the Apalis evaluation Board.

To boot QNX on the Apalis Evaluation Board with the iMX8QM, you can follow these general steps based on the context provided:

  1. Prepare the Image: Ensure that you have the correct QNX BSP for the Apalis iMX8QM. The BSP you mentioned, BSP_apalis-imx8qm_br-710_be-710_SVN983083_JBN12.zip, should be suitable for QNX 7.1.

  2. Load the Toradex Easy Installer: Use the Toradex Easy Installer to flash the QNX image onto the Apalis iMX8QM module. You can do this by preparing a micro SD card or USB stick with the image and using the Easy Installer to select and install the QNX image.

  3. Access the Debug UART: After installation, power off the board and ensure you have access to the debug UART. This will allow you to see the boot process and interact with the QNX terminal.

  4. Boot the Board: Power on the board, and it should boot into the QNX environment. You can use the debug UART to access the QNX terminal.

  5. Network Configuration: If you need network access, connect an Ethernet cable to the carrier board and use the ifconfig command to configure the network settings and obtain an IP address.

  6. Deploy and Debug Applications: Use the QNX Momentics IDE to deploy and debug applications on the board. Ensure that you have configured the target device in the IDE using the board’s IP address.

If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, it is recommended to contact Toradex’s technical support or the QNX support team for more detailed guidance.
