The /boot directory contains files and directories related
to creating bootable OS images (image filesystems).
Image filesystems contain OS components, your executables, and data files that
need to be present and running immediately upon bootup.
This directory includes:
-
/boot/build/
- This directory contains the mkifs
buildfiles used to build OS images. The buildfiles for a standard x86-based BlackBerry 10 OS system are qnxbase.build and
qnxbasedma.build.
-
/boot/fs/
- By convention, we use this directory to store image filesystems built
by mkifs.
To boot from one of the images, you'll need to copy it to
/.boot on a bootable Power-Safe device first.
-
/boot/sys/
- IPL and startup code are located here. This is one of the paths searched by the mkifs utility as it tries to resolve components named in the buildfile.
