Installation notes#

To install USB stack driver:

1. Download the archive with USB stack and drivers.

2. Unpack the driver: # zcat QNX425-USB-20120214.tar.gz | tar x

3. Compare the cksum results with the checksum on patch/QNX425-USB-20120214/cksum.txt file.

# cksum patch/QNX425-USB-20120214/bin/*

4. Backup the existing USB stack components.

If you wish to keep a copy of the existing driver, you'll need to save them to a safe location first, to prevent them from being overwritten during installation.

# cp -v /bin/io-usb /bin/io-usb.`date +"%y%m%d_%H%M%S"`
# cp -v /bin/devu-kbd /bin/devu-kbd.`date +"%y%m%d_%H%M%S"`
# cp -v /bin/devu-mouse /bin/devu-mouse.`date +"%y%m%d_%H%M%S"`
# cp -v /bin/devu-prn /bin/devu-prn.`date +"%y%m%d_%H%M%S"`
# cp -v /bin/Fsys.umass /bin/Fsys.umass.`date +"%y%m%d_%H%M%S"`
# cp -v /bin/usb /bin/usb.`date +"%y%m%d_%H%M%S"`

5. Copy the updated usb stack components to the /bin directory:

# cp -v patch/QNX425-USB-20120214/bin/* /bin

6. Make sure that the binaries are executable and that the file's owner and group are correct:

# chmod 775 /bin/io-usb
# chown root:root /bin/io-usb
