Forum Topic - QNX OS image network boot from a Windows Machine: (1 Item)
   
QNX OS image network boot from a Windows Machine  
Hello All,
 I would like to boot a QNX OS image from a windows based machine , what I mean is that I have a x86 based board that 
usually boots QNX image from a Compact Flash card , I want to be able to hook up its ethernet port to my Windows Based 
laptop and let the board take the QNX OS image from my laptop instead of the compact flash.

 I was looking around about LAN boot and network boot and I know that I have to make my OS image elf boot and not a bios
 boot , but there isn'tt enough info about the server machine, so I have few questions here 
1- does the server machine have to be a QNX based or windows bases is OK also
2- what kind of software I will need in the server machine to do that ...
3- How big of an OS image can be loaded using network boot ...

so if anybody have any information please reply

by the way yes my board ethernet support net boot and PXE.

Thanks All
