[QNX 7] Creating an USB boot image   
I'm trying to create a boot image on an USB stick for a Bay Trail CPU card.  We currently have QNX 6.5 running on it but
 we're in the process of migrating to 7.  I've gone through the process indicated in the generic x86 BSP guide and have 
been able to make a bootable USB stick, however, it does not completely boot.  During the process some items fail to run
 and in the end I have an unresponsive # prompt.

The first error during the boot is from random.  It fails to find libz.so.2.  This library is in the boot image.  A 
little later devc-pty fails with an I/O privity error.

Since the documentation is somewhat lacking on this whole process, I'm looking for someone that may have an idea of what
 I'm missing.

Thanks.

Can you share your build file?

Attached is a working build file for the ASRock IMB-151 board, which is
also a Bay Trail.

Re: [QNX 7] Creating an USB boot image   
Elad,
I ran the build file that you sent.  I did rename it to x86_64_generic.build.  I was too lazy to figure out how to build
 another build file.  To get it to so something I had to remove the leading path from lines 79 to the end.  At that 
point it failed on trying to link mod-devkprintf

Output is below:

Re: [QNX 7] Creating an USB boot image   
Oops, remove modules=devkprintf from the procnto line. It should read

    [+keeplinked]  PATH=/proc/boot:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/proc/boot:/lib:/usr/lib:/lib/dll
:/lib/dll/pci procnto-smp-instr

Sorry, I thought I cleaned it up.

Re: [QNX 7] Creating an USB boot image   
Ah, much better.  The build finishes and the image does boot.  However, It stalls out at "---> Starting Console" and 
doesn't get a login prompt.

The good news is that the three finger salute (ctl-alt-del) reboots the computer.

Re: [QNX 7] Creating an USB boot image   
Before you do that...
How are you connected to the system? With a screen and keyboard or via
a serial terminal?

Re: [QNX 7] Creating an USB boot image   
I'm connected via keyboard (usb) and monitor (VGA port).  I've changed the /dev/console=/dev/ser1 to /dev/con1 if that's
 where you were heading.

Re: [QNX 7] Creating an USB boot image   
Here is the build file that I'm using to build the image.  It seems to load all of the devices, Ethernet, USB, and 
serial devices.  I get a prompt on my monitor and the keyboard doesn't seem to be connected to the shell.  It also 
doesn't seem to want to enumerate the USB stick itself.

Close but not quite there...

Re: [QNX 7] Creating an USB boot image   
Yes, I have attached the .build file that I'm using.  It's pretty much stock from the generic x86_64 BSP from QNX.  
There are some lines in it that I added to try and see what might be going on so just ignore them.  They'll be obvious.
