BlackBerry QNX
Embedded software for physical AI and safety-critical systems.
QNX is a division of BlackBerry Limited that provides a secure real-time operating system (RTOS), hypervisor, middleware, and development tools for safety-critical and physical AI embedded systems. It addresses the need for deterministic, predictable performance in systems where failure is not an option, supporting software-defined vehicles, robotics, medical devices, industrial automation, rail, commercial transportation, heavy machinery, and defense.
The portfolio includes the QNX Software Development Platform (SDP), a high-performance, safety-ready microkernel RTOS platform, and the QNX General Embedded Development Platform (GEDP), a modular embedded development platform. Alloy Kore provides a pre-integrated foundation for software-defined vehicle software, while QNX Launchpad offers commercial access for early-stage companies. Capabilities include safety-certified products, over-the-air secure software updates, binary code analysis, middleware such as sensor frameworks and acoustic management, and Board Support Packages for Arm and x86 processors. Professional services cover security assessments, functional safety consulting, training, and workshops.
QNX is intended for embedded developers, OEMs, and manufacturers building mission-critical systems across automotive, industrial, medical, transportation, and defense sectors. Packaging includes commercial product lifecycle support, support packages with access to kernel developers and documentation, and professional services delivered by embedded security and safety experts.
