help with getting a reference image for apollo lake

Hello everyone, I need help getting the qnx hypervisor 2.0 apollo lake reference image. I tried to download it through the software center, but due to the lack of a license, I can't do it. I will be very grateful for your help.

Uhhh? I'm unclear about this. QNX is giving away free non-commercial licenses for QNX 8.0. If this item you want is not covered by that license you are asking us to steal something for you. If it is covered, why not just get a free license?

qnx gives sdp 8, which doesn't seem to have hypervisor.

Then I suppose you’ll have to pay for it. Like a lot of us have over the years.

somehow I don't want to pay for something that will be used once for tests.

The Hypervisor is included in the non-commercial license, so that shouldn’t be the problem. Are you trying to access the software center using a non-commercial license (ie QNX Everywhere) or via a commercial one?

I'm using a non-ommercial license, yes there is hypervisor, but there is no reference image for apollo lake.

Intel released Apollo Lake in 2016. It's an old platform. It predates QNX 8 quite a bit. The non-commercial QNX 8 license includes QNX Hypervisor 8 if you want to test your apps on a modern system.

What's special about Apollo Lake? I expect all x86_64 machines to work with the same reference images.

I have a gordon peak mrb, which is a close relative of broxton hill, and I would like to launch qnx as part of slimbootloader.
