This repository provides a minimal setup for generating generic QNX IFS (Initial File System) images and running them in QEMU. It supports both x86_64 and aarch64le architectures.

• QNX Software Development Platform (SDP): Install QNX SDP 8.0 in your home directory (~/qnx800). Download from QNX website.
• QNX License: Ensure you have a valid QNX license installed at ~/.qnx/license/licenses.
• QEMU: Install QEMU on your system. On Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install qemu-system-x86 qemu-system-arm.

1. Check Environment:

   ./env-check.sh

   This verifies QNX installation and license.

2. Build QNX Image:

   ./build.sh [x86_64|aarch64le|all]

   • x86_64: Build for x86_64 architecture (default)
   • aarch64le: Build for aarch64le architecture
   • all: Build for both architectures

3. Run in QEMU:

   ./qemu.sh [x86_64|aarch64le]

   • x86_64: Run x86_64 image (default)
   • aarch64le: Run aarch64le image

   The QEMU instance will start with:

   • 2GB RAM
   • 2 CPU cores
   • Network forwarding (SSH on port 8022)
   • Serial console output

• env-check.sh: Validates QNX installation and license
• source.sh: Sources the QNX development environment
• build.sh: Builds QNX IFS images using mkqnximage
• qemu.sh: Launches QEMU with the built image

Build artifacts are stored in architecture-specific directories:

• x86_64/build/output/: x86_64 images
• aarch64le/build/output/: aarch64le images
