QNX SDP 7.1 includes an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that makes it easier to develop, debug,
and analyze applications.
This IDE release, IDE version 7.1, allows you to develop projects for virtual machine targets, and supports newer versions of
GNU tools and newer hardware for AArch64 targets. The changes from version 7.0 are:
- Support for QNX SDP 7.1
- IDE 7.1 is built on Eclipse 2019-09 and CDT 9.9
- Support for mkqnximage, which generates QNX system images that can run in virtual machines
- Support for GCC 8.3 and GDB 8.2.1
- Support for ARMv8.2 variant for AArch64 targets
- Editor is compliant to the C++17 standard and the C11 standard
- The IDE no longer includes SVN. You can get it from one of the following websites:
Reusing existing workspaces
If you want to reuse a workspace that contains projects and user settings defined with an earlier IDE version,
we recommend that you back up that workspace before running the IDE for the first time and selecting to use it.
We haven't fully tested workspace backwards compatibility and can't guarantee its full reliability.
Importing projects defined with earlier IDE versions
If you want to import projects defined with earlier IDE versions, we recommend that you make a copy of any such projects
before trying to import them into the IDE version 7.1. We haven't fully tested project importing and can't guarantee its full
reliability.
Support for earlier QNX SDP versions
You can change the Software Development Kit (SDK) selection to use a toolchain from an earlier QNX SDP version, to write
applications targeted for that platform version. The IDE version 7.1 can work with the SDK from QNX SDP 6.5 SP1, 6.6, and 7.0
(in addition to the SDK for 7.1). Thus, you can have installations of multiple SDP versions on the same development host.
