buildfile for starting photon  
Hi,

I am using QNX 6.3.2 Momentics installed on Windows XP (host machine). I am building .ifs image file for my x86 target 
from buildfiles.

Right now I have taken the "disk filesytem" example buildfile from Appendix A of "Building Embedded Systems" guide and 
customized it for my target and I am able to boot into a shell on con1. Now I would like to extend this buildfile so 
that it can start a photon (graphical stuff) using the devg-rage.so driver for my video card.

I search into different guides on QNX but did not come across any buildfile that shows example of how to start photon 
through a buildfile.

Thanks

Here is a link to a page that explains how to get Photon running on a board.
http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.4.1/photon/prog_guide/embed.html
It has a sample build file too.

Thanks Misha for the hint. Actually I will use the corresponding guide for 6.3.2 instead of 6.4.1 since I am using 6.3.2
 and it does not have io-display.

Could you share with us why you want to use Photon and not the QNX Adobe Flash Lite based HMI solution?

No particular reason. I have been just trying to learn to build different types of image through buildfiles. Moreover we
 are not the end-user but a hardware vendor.
