Possible to port QNX 6.4 NIC driver to QNX 6.3.0?   
We would like to use the devn-rtl8169.so from QNX 6.4 on QNX 6.3.  I tested with 6.3.2, but that version of the driver 
doesn't detect the NIC.

Is it possible to port the QNX 6.4 driver to QNX 6.3.0 with no SP?

Has this already been done?

Thanks

You can give this one a try.

Re: Possible to port QNX 6.4 NIC driver to QNX 6.3.0?   
Thanks for your quick reply.

I tried the new driver but didn't have any luck.

Running driver from io-net command line:  io-net -drtl8169 -ptcpip

unknown symbol: _slogfd
unknown symbol: __slog_mux
unable to load dll devn-rtl8169: Unresolved symbols

Also tried using the mount command, tried:

mount -vvv -Tio-net -opci=0,vid=0x10ec /lib/dll/devn-rtl8169.so
mount -vvv -Tio-net -opci=0,vid=0x10ec,did=0x8168 /lib/dll/devn-rtl8169.so
mount -vvv -Tio-net /lib/dll/devn-rtl8169.so

Each time I get the same error.

unknown symbol: _slogfd
unknown symbol: __slog_mux
mount: Can't mount / (type io-net) 
mount: Possible reason: No such device or address 
Parsed: mount from [/lib/dll/devn-rtl8169.so] mount on [NULL] type [io-net]

OK, it was worth a try! You will have to make an official request for
this to be compiled under 6.3.0. I compiled it under 6.3.2 on my
machine, but don't have 6.3.0 installed.

Re: RE: Possible to port QNX 6.4 NIC driver to QNX 6.3.0?   
Hi Hugh,

We are evaluating the same board under QNX 6.3.2 now.  There are some other changes we would like in the updated version
.

I tried your 6.3.2 driver attached to the earlier message and I get a little different errors:

using the mount command:
mount -Tio-net -ovid=0x10ec /lib/dll/devn-rtl8169.so

unknown symbol: _slogfd
unknown symbol: __slog_mux
mount: can't mount / (type io-net)
mount: Possible reason: Invalid argument

Running driver from io-net command line:  io-net -drtl8169 -ptcpip

unknown symbol: __slog_mux
unable to load dll devn-rtl8169: Unresolved symbols
unable to load dll npm-tcp: Library cannot be found

The driver you compiled for 6.3.0 has been working for us for several months with out a problem.  Could you look at this
 for us? 

Thanks,
   Mark

Re: RE: Possible to port QNX 6.4 NIC driver to QNX 6.3.0?   
Sure!  I'll happily try any version...

This version works, I'm running tcp/ip and qnet on it now.  I will stress test it overnight but I don't expect any 
problems.

Thank you very much for your support!

Re: RE: Possible to port QNX 6.4 NIC driver to QNX 6.3.0?   
Hi Hugh,

We've done more testing with this driver and been having trouble with io-net core dumping.  We've been using QNX 6.3 for
 years with different NICs and this is the first time we've had io-net crash on us.  We suspect this driver is the cause
.

Is there a way to trouble shoot this?

Thanks,
   Mark

Re: Possible to port QNX 6.4 NIC driver to QNX 6.3.0?   
Unfortunately the 6.4 drivers are written for io-pkt, which is completely
different from io-net. You will have to speak to your account manager to
request a back-port.

Hugh.

Why is it that QNX 4 gets updated network drivers released for free (via the QNX 4 Product Suite 2009 CD) and no updates
 for versions of QNX 6?

Nobody said anything about paying for this! The time has to be scheduled to
do this and has to be requested through the right channels.
