QNX 8 utilities

By order of importance

• fbwrite - a linear framebuffer text and image writer - easily transformable into a full-fledged UEFI console driver. Used in the screenshot above. See startup-x86-framebuffer-patch.txt for instructions on how to expose the UEFI framebuffer from the QNX8 startup.

• dump-efivars - a tool to display the value of UEFI non-volatile configuration variables on UEFI system without using the EFI service routines, i.e. without impact on the realtime scheduler. The tool simply maps the UEFI configuration address space(s) from QNX user space, scans its contents bottom up, and displays all valid EFI variable structures it finds in this memory area. It is most useful to assert e.g. whether the system was booted into safe mode without any impact on the QNX8 scheduler.

• qnx6label - a tool to view and edit the partition labels of qnx6fs "power-safe" filesystems, either unmounted or mounted read-only.

• doslabel - a tool to view and edit the partition labels of FAT12/FAT16/FAT32 filesystems (including the EFI system partition), either unmounted or mounted read-only.
