PR Newswire (US)
OTTAWA, June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- QNX Software Systems today
announced comprehensive software and tools support for automotive,
industrial automation, and consumer device customers creating
products based on TI OMAP35x processors. Designed for products that
require rich HMI, multimedia, and audio capabilities, the support
includes the QNX(R) Neutrino(R) Realtime Operating System (RTOS),
the QNX Aviage(R) Multimedia Suite, the QNX Aviage HMI Suite, the
QNX Aviage Acoustic Processing Suite, and the QNX CAR reference
designs for automotive infotainment systems and digital clusters.
By leveraging this comprehensive, off-the-shelf support for the
OMAP3530 hardware and software platform from Texas Instruments
Incorporated (TI), developers can reduce integration costs and cut
time-to-market. Unlike other solutions, QNX Software Systems'
integrated product offering delivers extremely high reliability and
realtime performance. The memory-protected microkernel architecture
of the QNX Neutrino RTOS supports dynamic upgrades, predictable
response times, and fine-grained fault containment and recovery.
With the QNX Aviage Multimedia Suite and QNX Aviage Acoustic
Processing Suite, developers of audio- and video-intensive
applications can seamlessly utilize the high-performance
TMS320C64x+(TM) DSP found on the OMAP3530. Performance acceleration
of the 3D graphics library using the Imagination Technologies
POWERVR(TM) 3D accelerator on the OMAP35x processor is also
planned, with a pre-release scheduled for Q3 2009 and general
availability scheduled for Q4. This will also accelerate graphical
user interfaces based on the QNX Aviage HMI Suite, which provides a
complete framework for developing user interfaces with Adobe Flash
Lite. "Customers are increasingly demanding tighter integration of
hardware and software while maintaining the highest levels of
system performance. With QNX software, OMAP35x developers have the
confidence of a reliable foundation to build robust and
sophisticated applications with less effort," said Alejandro
Erives, OMAP35x marketing manager, TI. QNX has introduced a board
support package (BSP) for the OMAP35x evaluation module (EVM) and
for the BeagleBoard.org open hardware platform, available through
Digi-Key. Developers can download the BSP from the QNX community
portal, Foundry27. QNX Software Systems, a Harman International
company (NYSE:HAR), is the industry leader in realtime, embedded OS
technology. The component-based architectures of the QNX(R)
Neutrino(R) RTOS, QNX Momentics(R) Tool Suite, and QNX Aviage(R)
middleware together provide the industry's most reliable and
scalable framework for building innovative, high-performance
embedded systems. Global leaders such as Cisco, Daimler, General
Electric, Lockheed Martin, and Siemens depend on QNX technology for
vehicle telematics units, industrial robotics, network routers,
medical instruments, and other mission- or life-critical
applications. QNX Software Systems is headquartered in Ottawa,
Canada, and distributes products in over 100 countries worldwide.
