QNX SDP 6.5.0 disk boot falilure on PCM-4153FZ2   
Hi Everyone.
I have got some experience in QNX RTOS installed on PCM-3362 single board computer but recently I've encountered a 
problem while trying to install the same system on PCM-4153FZ2 single board computer.
I was trying to install QNX RTOS from bootable CD using CD-ROM connected via USB. This information appeared on the 
screen:

Boot from CD:
1. FD 2.88MB System Type-(00)
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRES ENTER

Boot priority seems to be properly set in BIOS because WindowsXP is booting correctly from the same CD-ROM. Furthermore 
this QNX CD is booting correctly on my laptop and on PCM-3362 as well.

Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem?
Is it because quite poor hardware specification this PCM-4153 SBC?
Computer parameters are as follows:
AMD Geode LX800 500MH,
512MB RAM,
1GB onboard Flash NAND drive.

Detailed specification can bound here:

I will appreciate any help on this.

Kind regards.
Marcin.

Hi everyone.

In case someone will have similar difficulties, I have managed to solve the problem. Apparently QNX does not want to 
boot from USB-CDROM.
In my PCM-4153FZ2 there is IDE interface but it is using 44-pin ribbon cable (notebok type hdd's). I had to make 40 pin 
IDE cable in order to attach good old-fashioned 5,25' CD-ROM drive.
After switching boot priority to CD-ROM in bios, QNX booted nicely.

Kind regards,
Marcin

Re: QNX SDP 6.5.0 disk boot falilure on PCM-4153FZ2   
Hi everyone.

My satisfaction turned out to be premature. Although QNX launched from CD there is not enough space in embedded NAND 
flash (only 1GB) to install the system on it.
Here's my question. Is there any method to install only selected components of the QNX 6.5.0 directly from CD in order 
to fit it in 1GB storage leaving some memory for user programs and data?

I have no experience yet in building OS images using Momentics IDE. Is there simpler method?

Kind regards,
Marcin

Does this image has everything or x86 only?

Re: QNX SDP 6.5.0 disk boot falilure on PCM-4153FZ2   
Hi Elena.

Thank you for your interest.

My CD contains QNX SDP 6.5.0 for x86 boards only. While trying to install it
an information appears on the screen that tere is not enough space on disk
(in my case: 1GB NAND flash accessed via EIDE interface).

I abandoned automatic installation idea and I have read manual about
building OS images.
After couple of days of fighting I eventually managed to build OS image and
transfered it to flash storage of PCM-4153. For now there are only few
components working like: console, eide driver and file system, serial ports,
network interface as well as some system commands (ls, pwd, cp, ifconfig
pidin etc.). The installed system is also accessed via LAN from Momentics
IDE which is installed on Windows host.

I have also attached PCM-3680I CAN interface card to PCM-4153, run its
driver and it is working too. I have achieved what I wanted namely
controlling Maxon motor with EPOS2 controller via CAN interface.

I have still much to learn with bilding OS images but first steps are behind
me

Kind regards,
Marcin.
