Looking for QNX compatible server hardware

  • 772

Can you help me to find compatible modern server for QNX, please? This is quite rare OS, so most of the hardware vendors do not have compatibility information. It would be very helpful to me if you can do the following:

  1. Download iso http://www.qnx.com/download/download/19602/qnxsdp-6.4.1-x86-200905201802-nto.iso
  2. burn to cd
  3. Start from cd
  4. press F2 - try from CD
  5. start Utilities/Terminal
  6. run sloginfo > /tmp/sloginfo.log; get_hw_info; pci -vvv > /tmp/pci-vvv.log
  7. send logs from /tmp/ to [email protected] with system model/build

I will summarize results afterwards and post them here.

I'm especially interested in Fujitsu RX100 S5 as it looks like one of the most compatible servers with frontally accessible HDDs.

  1. Try this link to the QNX Board Support Packages At the bottom it mentions x86 systems including this one: Dell PowerEdge 840 BASE Desktop/server which is a little dated. Alternatively your best bet might be to post on one of the QNX forums

    Another idea I just had was to search for commercial QNX based SCADA software suppliers and see what hardware they say they support!

  2. Sergey,

    I use QNX regularly. It boots many pieces of COTS x86 hardware, although it does focus on embedded/desktop hardware.

    What are your specific problems? NICs not working? Are you trying to use Photon? Hard drive support? What have you run into problems with on the stock QNX runtime boot?

    Also, make sure you're looking for a QNX6 (Neutrino) system. If you've got a old old system that expects to run on QNX4, well, all bets are off.

  3. I know this is an old post, but I didn't know if you had anything running. I believe the Dell R200 works with QNX6.
