GEC NEWS WIREBlackBerry has launched its most advanced and secure embedded operating system (OS) for the automotive industry. QNX Software Development Platform 7.0 (QNX SDP 7.0) is a 64-bit OS that builds on the proven reliability of QNX technology and raises the bar for security and performance in cars. At CES 2017, the technological capabilities of QNX SDP 7.0 will be demonstrated in BlackBerry QNX’s 2016 Jaguar XJ and 2017 Lincoln MKZ concept cars.
“To develop these new systems, our automotive customers will need a safe and secure 64-bit OS that can run highly complex software, including neural networks and artificial intelligence algorithms. QNX SDP 7.0 is suited not only for cars, but also for almost any safety- or mission-critical application that requires 64-bit performance and advanced security. This includes surgical robots, industrial controllers and high-speed trains,” said John Wall, senior vice president and head of BlackBerry QNX.
“By delivering 64-bit performance with comprehensive GPU support, QNX SDP 7.0 will help the automotive industry realize the vision of the unified digital cockpit on NXP’s i.MX automotive applications processors” says Ron Martino, vice president of i.MX Applications Processor and advanced technology adoption, NXP Semiconductors
Kevin Flory, vice president of Automotive Software, NVIDIA, “The deep learning capabilities of NVIDIA DriveWorks software on the DRIVE PX 2 AI computing platform, combined with BlackBerry QNX’s ISO 26262 safety-certified operating system, enables automakers to build the highest performing, ASIL-certified autonomous driving solutions.”
