QNX OS for Safety 8.0

Pre-certified OS for Embedded Systems 

QNX OS® for Safety 8.0 is engineered with safety and security at its core, and powered by a safe-by-design microkernel architecture trusted in the world’s most demanding systems. For over 45 years, our experts in functional safety and embedded systems have continuously refined it to meet the real-time performance, reliability, and certification needs of mission-critical products. With QNX as your foundation, you can focus on building the differentiated systems your customers expect, while we help you meet your safety goals with confidence. When failure isn’t an option, QNX is the platform you can count on.

Protect Critical Functionality and Security Needs

A system can’t be safe if it isn’t secure. In today’s connected world, QNX OS for Safety provides the trusted foundation embedded developers need to protect both. More than a set of features, security is a mindset, embedded in our culture, our processes, and the way we deliver technology. QNX OS for Safety is designed for spatial and temporal isolation, defending against internal faults and external threats. It’s backed by independent cybersecurity certifications and delivered with the documentation needed to help you meet evolving regulations with confidence. In mission-critical systems, security isn’t optional; it’s essential.

Unlock Performance with Leading-edge Hardware and Software

In today’s most advanced systems, performance means more than raw speed. It’s about predictability, low latency, and real-time responsiveness, especially when safety is at stake. Built on the next-generation QNX® Software Development Platform 8.0 microkernel, QNX OS for Safety 8.0 is designed to harness the full power of High-Performance Compute (HPC) platforms. It enables you to deliver lightning-fast throughput without compromising deterministic behavior or system integrity. For environments where milliseconds matter and failure isn’t an option, QNX delivers performance you can trust.

Reliably Certify Your System, Not Your Toolchains

A safety-certified OS and qualified toolchains mean that you’ll have confidence in the software you build, and that you’ll have a quick and smooth certification process. With the QNX OS for Safety, you’ll be able to build your systems with C and C++ toolchains classified as TCL3 and T3 according to ISO 26262 and IEC 61508. You’ll need to certify only the parts of the system you build, not the OS you build it on or the toolchains you use to build it.
