Newcomer  
Hi ,

my name is Vasileios Anagnostopoulos. I am new to QNX. I have not 
understood correctly. Is it possible to download QNX RTOS, burn it to a 
CD and install it on a x86? I am a PHD student. Do I have to pay for it?

Thanks for any feedback.

Regards.

Hi Vasileios,

Yes you can, download on of the two Neutrino host packages from http://www.qnx.com/products/getmomentics/, burn on CD 
and install on your x86 machine.

Then get a Non-Commercial or an Academic Faculty license (which are free).

Regards

  - Fred

Excuse my ignorance, but I'm not understanding the packages for download! There are 3 download's package: Windows Lite, 
Linux Lite and QNX Neutrino Lite - to install the QNX (from "ZERO" - creating partitions, formating, installing...) 
whick package may I download and burn the CD?
Thanks.

Hi,

If you want to install and run Neutrino on a PC then you would download
the Neutrino ISO file and burn it to a CD. Just boot from the CD and
follow the instructions. 

The Windows and Linux installers allow you to develop programs for
Neutrino using your favourite operating system. You will need a target,
however, to run your programs on. The PC you installed Neutrino on would
be a good target system :)

You should also know that the 'lite' version only supports x86
processors. If you need to target other processor families (we support
ARM, SH4, PowerPC and x86) then you'll need to get the 'non-lite'
version. 

Does that help?
