Task 2: Establishing a QNX Network
Connect SBC-MediaGX board and host with network cable(s) - If you
are connecting through an Ethernet LAN, you will use an RJ45 straight
cable for each machine. If you are connecting directly between the host
PC and the SBC-MediaGX board, an RJ45 twisted cable has been
provided in the development kit
On the SBC-MediaGX board, Exit Voyager - Left-click the X in the top
right hand corner of the Voyager window
On the SBC-MediaGX board, Exit Photon - Left-click the QNX symbol in
the bottom left hand corner of the window. Left-click 'Shutdown'. When
the window appears, left-click 'Shutdown'
Get the physical ethernet address - You must obtain the Realtek 8139
Beta Ethernet driver from QNX (see What else do I need?) and place it
in the /bin directory. The following commands will start the ethernet
driver and print out the physical ethernet address for the SBC-MediaGX:
Net &
Net.rtl -vvv &
Note:
Consult your Systems Administrator before attempting to connect the
SBC-MediaGX board to your existing QNX network. This board is configured
to boot as node 2 on a network at initial start-up. There is further instruction
on editing the build file to configure the board as a different node number
included in the help file on the QNX demonstration CD-ROM.
