QNX® Software Development Platform (SDP) 8.0 is the foundational development platform for the next generation of mission-critical and safety-critical systems,
In the software-defined world, throughput performance is a key factor as the complexity of the software increases, and more advanced hardware is used. QNX OS 8.0 provides significant advancements in overall OS throughput performance driven by the next-generation microkernel and upgrades to the OS services such as filesystems and networking. This will enable customers to utilize SOCs ranging from 2 to 64 cores to their full potential.
In automotive, industrial, robotics, and other markets, providing the ability to scale and increase workloads to utilize next-generation hardware and the increased number of CPU cores that come with it is essential for next-generation systems. QNX OS 8.0 provides near-linear scalability as the number of cores increases, which allows customers to scale and increase the workloads on any SOC.
The demand for real-time systems is paramount. These systems go far beyond mere speed; they are the embodiment of precision, predictability, and reliability. Real-time is about meeting specific timing requirements, ensuring that actions are not just swift but are carried out within predetermined deadlines. QNX OS 8.0 maintains and improves the hard real-time capabilities. It is fully pre-emptive with strict time constraints and guaranteed response times, meaning it can fully monitor the relevant priority of competing tasks and make changes to the task priority very quickly.
QNX SDP 8.0 represents a revolution in foundational software for embedded systems, bringing high-performance compute capabilities to the next generation of Systems-on-a-Chip (SoCs). It is built with system consolidation at the forefront and consists of three core components:
The QNX OS has our next-generation microkernel at its core, augmented to support the latest Armv8, Armv9, and x86 64 hardware platforms. The microkernel is built on the pillars of performance, scalability, security, safety, and real-time execution. Its modular design is more flexible than a traditional monolithic OS, with scaling capabilities to meet the needs of next-generation system architectures.
Speed up development cycles while maintaining vulnerability and defect detection. Our Tool Suite offers both the trusted QNX Momentics IDE (integrated development environment), an Eclipse-based IDE, and the QNX Toolkit for Visual Studio Code that enables Visual Studio (VS) Code users to access powerful QNX tools from the Visual Studio Marketplace, plus QNX Command Line Tools for enhanced system profiling and debugging capabilities.
The QNX Software Center is our software delivery tool. It is used to manage the discovery, delivery, and dependencies of QNX development products in a centralized fashion. With the QNX Software Center, QNX developers are proactively alerted when relevant security updates, patches, and new product releases are posted, or activities related to QNX product licensing.
The QNX OS for Safety is a microkernel OS for embedded systems certified to IEC 61508 SIL 3, ISO 26262
Streamline Embedded Software Development with QNX Hypervisor. Consolidate multiple operating systems on a single embedded system on a chip.
