Hi Andrey,
If you go to the "Get Momentics" page (http://www.qnx.com/products/getmomentics/) you are presented with several options
. Here's the scoop...
Momentics is a development seat providing tools which target the Neutrino RTOS. There are separate installers for each
host OS since the tools are host specific. So you can happily develop code on Windows, but then what? You need some sort
of a target machine to run the programs on. You would typically run Neutrino on this machine in some way (which is
highly dependent on the machine) but the quick and dirty way is to install the Neutrino "Lite" host on a standard PC or
in VMware. You can use the same evaluation key as you used for the host installation.
The primary differences between "Full" and "Lite" versions are:
- The Full version has tools and binaries for all supported target platforms: arm, mips, ppc, sh4 and x86. The Lite
version only has support for x86 (which most hobbyists would use).
- The Full version includes the Eclipse SDK (Java Development Tooling) on Windows and Linux. The Lite version does not.
Other than that the Lite version is a fully functional development seat.
If you want to install a system which dual boots Windows and Neutrino, then use the (obviously) Neutrino/QNX host. Note
that this installs a fresh OS just like installing Linux with all the same caveats (be careful, in other words). If you
choose to use our boot loader then you will be able to choose which partition you need to boot. If you (re)-install
Windows later it will overwrite your boot loader.
Hope that helps,
Keith Russell
