EMBEDDED SYSTEMS CONFERENCE, BOSTON, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- QNX Software
Systems today announced a series of value-added embedded software products
that feature royalty-free licensing as standard components. These innovative
new product offerings will help QNX customers lower the cost and development
time needed to bring embedded devices to market and make it far easier to
customize and debug their designs.
The new offerings, packaged as highly integrated Technology Development
Kits (TDKs), combine binaries, utilities, tools, and in most cases source
code, for value-added QNX software components that provide advanced
functionality not supported by conventional RTOSs. Each TDK is packaged as a
distinct module, so customers can choose one or many, depending on the
features needed in their embedded design.
Designed for use with the QNX(R) Momentics(R) development suite
Professional Edition, the TDKs are also optimized to take advantage of key
features of the QNX Neutrino(R) RTOS. Each TDK also includes a royalty-free
license to distribute specific components for use in OEM devices.
The QNX TDKs available today are:
* QNX Extended Networking TDK -- Provides source, utilities, protocol
stacks, and other tools to support IPv6, IPSec, and other advanced
networking features; and allows developers to perform custom hardware
integration and optimization for networking devices.
* QNX Flash File System and Embedding TDK -- Provides read/write
persistent storage that is resilient to power failures and provides a
longer predictable life span for flash parts. Includes NOR and NAND
flash file systems, a media-independent embedded transactional file
system (ETFS), and an on-the-fly decompression utility.
* QNX Web Browser TDK -- Allows developers to customize the QNX
Voyager(TM) 2 embedded browser user interface for devices that have
limited memory and CPU resources, or where the customer needs to brand
their browser interface with a unique look-and-feel.
* QNX Critical Process Monitoring TDK -- Allows applications to implement
custom recovery scenarios and reconnect instantly after system
failures; includes critical process monitoring software components,
APIs, libraries, regression test programs, and sample code for
restarting, heartbeating, etc.
* QNX Multimedia TDK -- Provides reusable media format and content
handlers with built-in support for a number of standard multimedia
formats, enabling customers to build their own media playback or
recording applications.
* QNX 3D Graphics TDK -- Provides standards-based support for accelerated
3D graphics, including libraries and drivers, allowing developers to
create sophisticated displays with little impact on CPU performance.
* QNX Symmetric Multiprocessing TDK -- Allows developers to optimize
performance and increase device scalability by running multiple
applications and system services in parallel on SMP hardware. This TDK
is available in binary form only.
* QNX MOST TDK (in development) -- Created for developers building high-
performance in-vehicle media systems, this TDK provides source and
libraries to quickly customize NetServices, IP networking, and drivers
for the high-speed media-oriented systems transport (MOST) bus.
"With access to source code and royalty-free licenses, QNX customers are
well-positioned to meet the increasing market pressures for design excellence
and reduced time to market," said Dan Dodge, president and CEO of QNX Software
Systems. "We recognize that each customer is unique, and, unlike our
competitors' all-or-nothing vertical platform approach, our TDKs allow OEMs to
optimize their technology selections for their particular design challenge."
Availability and Pricing
QNX TDKs are available today. Prices start at US$5000 and vary by
technology, project and platform usage. For complete information, visit
