D. QNX lab H-803
In QNX lab H-803 there are 12 QNX developing machines, which are running in QNX v6.3. That is the latest version from QNX. You can go to this lab to debug your code, to learn more about QNX operating system. But you can only debug your code locally rather than connect to any target machine in H-867 for remote debugging. If you get some problem on the version compatibility, send me an email.
E. Virtual Board Server
One useful tool called Virtual Board Server (vbServer) can run as a Daemon locally, and take a role of remote Board Server on a target. That will help you debug your codes without connecting a real target. For more information, please refer to the file of vbServer . Or you can get help about this tool from your TA.
