Thank you very much for your help. Finally I am able to make image file for qnx6.6 using command line. steps that I have follow for x86 devices in windows :

Step -l: Download latest BSP file from QNX website. http://community.qnx.com/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.bsp/wiki/BSPAndDrivers

Step -2 :In command promote go to "qnx660" folder and set environments variables by executing “qnx660-env.bat” file.

Step -3 :In BSP folder. You will find images, install, prebuilt, install, src folder and some make files in it. Go to images folder. You will find “x86-generic.build” file. Edit this file in QNX IDE. Add file name that you want to run and binary file in any of the mentioned paths:

• qnx660\target\qnx6\x86\bin

• qnx660\target\qnx6\x86\usr\bin

• qnx660\target\qnx6\x86\opt\bin\sbin

• qnx660\target\qnx6\x86\usr\sbin

Step -4:In command promote goto images folder apply “make clean“ and “make” commands. Make command will generate” ifs-x86-generic.bin” file. OR You can also make '.ifs' file by command "mkifs x86-generic.build "anyname.ifs". anyone of this will work.

Step -5:Make your pen drive bootable. And put this “ifs-x86-generic.bin” or "anyname.ifs file into" “.boot” folder of the bootable pen drive.

Step -6 :Boot your system with this pen drive.

Enjoy….

See ch. 13 of the IDE User's Guide (also Ch. 15 if migrating from an earlier version, this covers some of the differences between IDE versions) http://support7.qnx.com/download/download/26175/IDE_Users_Guide.pdf and Building Embedded Systems Ch. 3 http://support7.qnx.com/download/download/26170/QNX_Neutrino_RTOS_Building_Embedded_Systems.pdf

Also look at the overall documentation for working with BSPs support7.qnx.com/download/download/26189/QNX_SDP_6.6.0_BSPs.pdf and the specific docs for the BSP you are using.
