This is quick start guide how to run ssh server on QNX. Tested on QNX 6.5 (650SP1-VM.tar). # ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N '' # ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -N '' This is not security best practice but this is only a test machine. Enable direct root ssh login to the machine. # sed -i 's/#PermitRootLogin no/PermitRootLogin yes/g' /etc/ssh/sshd_config To start ssh service interactively, do: # /usr/sbin/sshd Use /usr/sbin/sshd -ddd to view debug output To run sshd on start, add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local : /usr/sbin/sshd & Reference: http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/660/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.qnx.doc.neutrino.utilities%2Ftopic%2Fs%2Fsshd.html

Using INTEL PRO/1000 Gigabit driver in QNX 6.6 running on VMware ESXi When installing QNX 6.6 using VM-QNXSDP660-201402230339.iso on VMware ESXi (8.0 update 2) the default network apapter used is AMD Lance PCNet 32 . The PCNet 32 driver reports to only support 10Mbps, for cases where higher network bandwidth is needed Intel PRO/1000 Gigabit is a good choice. To load Intel PRO/1000 Gigabit , edit /etc/rc.d/startup_aps.sh and comment out pcnet.so driver and add dirver for e1000 , like: #io-pkt-v4-hc -d /lib/dll/devn-pcnet.so & io-pkt-v4-hc -d /lib/dll/devnp-e1000.so &

Installing Vim 7.2 in QNX 6.5 using pkgsrc QNX 6.5 self-hosted Neutrino host ships with vi but Vim 7.2 is a big imporovement over the default application. Below are the steps to install Vim 7.2 using pkgsrc. Download the bootstrap package http://archive.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc-archive/packages/QNX/i386/6.5.0_head_20110826/bootstrap.tar.gz Download Vim package and dependencies from the link below http://archive.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc-archive/packages/QNX/i386/6.5.0_head_20110826/All vim-share-7.2.446.tgz libiconv-1.14.tgz gettext-lib-0.18.1.1.tgz vim-7.2.446nb1.tgz Copy the files into /tmp using ftp, Momentics IDE, sftp, etc #: ls /tmp bootstrap.tar.gz vim-share-7.2.446.tgz libiconv-1.14.tgz gettext-lib-0.18.1.1.tgz vim-7.2.446nb1.tgz Install bootstrap package into the root folder #: tar -xvzf bootstrap.tar.gz -C / Add pkgsrc utilities into the path #: echo 'export PA

How to apply QNX 6.5 SP1 into an existing QNX self hosted installation This was tested on VirtualBox with QNX 6.5.0 self-hosted Neutrino host. Below are the quick steps Mount the QNX 6.5 SP1 iso (qnxsdp-6.5.0SP1.iso) Run the following command in QNX terminal Load CD/DVD-ROM driver devb-eide cdrom Mount the cd/dvd-rom mount -t cd /dev/cd0 /cd Install the update cd /cd sh ./qnxsdp-6.5.0SP1-201206270843-nto.sh
