How to try the packages of openqnx/oss yourself: open-source
components ported to QNX SDP 8.0, for x86_64 and aarch64le, as signed apk packages and
plain .tar.gz archives in this repository's
releases.
You need a QNX SDP 8.0 installation (a free non-commercial licence is enough) on a Linux host. Everything else comes from this repository.
| Step | Page |
|---|---|
| 1. Make a base QEMU image (x86_64 and/or aarch64le) and boot it | Base QEMU images |
| 2a. Install packages with apk: all of them, or only the ones you want | Install with apk |
2b. Install the plain .tar.gz archives (no apk): all at once, or one by one |
Install the archives |
| When something does not work | Troubleshooting |
Use one of 2a and 2b per target: apk does not know about files unpacked by hand.
Package site: https://openqnx.github.io/oss/. It has a page per package with its versions, files, dependencies, the dependency versions it works with, and the log of its test on QNX.
host$ is a shell on the Linux host, qnx# a root shell on the QNX target. Commands use these
variables (set them as the pages show):
| Variable | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
SDP_DIR |
~/qnx800 |
QNX SDP 8.0 install path |
SSH_KEY |
~/.ssh/qnx-target |
SSH key for the target (public key $SSH_KEY.pub) |
TARGET_NAME |
qnx-x86, qnx-a64
|
the target's host name (different per VM) |
TARGET_IP |
192.168.122.50 |
the target's IP (mkqnximage --getip) |
SDP_ARCH |
x86_64, aarch64le
|
the SDP's architecture name (run-time library paths) |
ARCH |
x86_64, aarch64
|
the package architecture name (in release names) |

GitHub releases address |
GitHub allows 1000 files per release, so each kind is split by the first letter of the package name:
| Kind | names 0-9, a-l | names m-z |
|---|---|---|
| apk repository | apk-8.0-<ARCH> |
apk-8.0-<ARCH>-m-z |
.tar.gz + INDEX
|
packages-8.0-<ARCH> |
packages-8.0-<ARCH>-m-z |
on-target tests (qnx-test-<name>) |
tests-8.0-<ARCH> |
tests-8.0-<ARCH>-m-z (with the runner qnx-port-tests) |
Each component is a package <name> (programs, libraries, data) and usually <name>-dev (headers,
pkg-config/CMake files, static libraries). Every version stays published. One INDEX line is
name|version|depends|file|sha256|size|description|conflicts, newest version first.
