QNX Hypervisor for Safety

The QNX® Hypervisor for Safety is the safety-certified variant of the QNX® Hypervisor. Pre-certified by TÜV Rheinland to ISO 26262 ASIL D, IEC 61508 SIL3 and IEC 62304 Class C, it offers simpler and faster certification of your automotive, industrial and medical mission-critical systems. With non-safety OSs (Android™, Linux®) contained in QNX Hypervisor for Safety virtual machines, you can focus your certification efforts and funds on certifying only your safety-critical components.

Safely Manage Diverse Guest Systems

The QNX Hypervisor for Safety lets you manage multiple guest systems on a single system on a chip (SoC), including unmodi?ed Android and Linux. The QNX Hypervisor for Safety separates and isolates guest systems from each other in its safety-certified virtual machines, so you can consolidate diverse systems with different functional safety requirements on one ARM or x86 SoC.

With guests contained in virtual machines, you can deploy your safety-critical virtualized system confident that each system is isolated and protected from outside interference, whether due to error (bugs) or malicious intent.

Familiar Development Environment

The QNX Hypervisor for Safety includes a virtual device developer’s API reference and a developer’s guide, complete with examples of virtual device source code you can use as models, including para-virtualized devices built to the VirtIO standards.

The QNX Hypervisor for Safety is fully API-compatible with the QNX® Neutrino® RTOS, so you won’t need any ramp-up time to begin work: You’ll develop non-safety and safety-critical applications on the same foundations, and you’ll be able to continue working in the QNX® Software Development Platform’s POSIX-compliant environment and using the QNX® Momentics® Tool Suite.
