Hello again. Now making some progress in compiling source code with Momentics on VMWare 14 with the supplied trial 
version of QNX SDP 7 for VMWare image. The compiled code is unable to locate our PCIe adapter.

Using pci-tool -v log, confirmed that the QNX SDP 7 platform is not detecting our adapter but ok with many others in the
 box.

Reviewing the Device Manager for the same box hosting this VMWare + QNX SDP 7 and our installed adapter (VID: 13a8) -> 
the PCIe adapter is operating fine. VMWare 14 apparently does not allow for PCI passthrough.

From our knowledge, only VMWare ESXi allow for PCIe passthrough. But is QNX SDP 7 supported on ESXi?

Or is there a method to allow for this add-on PCIe adapter to be seen by the QNX SDP 7 image? Believe that VMWare 14 is 
blocking this access but may be wrong.

Thank you.

Re: QNX SDP 7 on VMWare ESXi ?

VMware environment was not intended for QNX Neutrino driver development.  VMWare primarily provides a simulated x86 
platform that is capable of running QNX Neutrino RTOS, using the simulated hardware provided by VMware.
VMware is a great platform for QNX Neutrino application development but not really intended for hardware driver 
development.
For developing QNX Neutrino hardware drivers or for determining if a particular hardware device is supported under QNX 
Neutrino, you should be setting up a real hardware platform running QNX Neutrino natively on the platform.

Thank you. Now working on a dedicated box with QNX SDP 7. Have some more questions so will start a different thread.
