Sound "bytes" from CTIA Wireless 2012

Paul Leroux

Several of my colleagues are attending CTIA Wireless this week, and yes, they brought the connected Porsche with them. No surprise there, of course: we've also brought the car to CES, MWC, BBW, and numerous other events. (Sorry, I'm really into acronyms today.) The Porsche, with its QNX-powered mobile connectivity and HD hands-free audio, seems to impress people no matter where we bring it, and the reaction at CTIA was no different. In fact, the folks from Black Enterprise were so stoked, they awarded the car a CTIA Best in Show award. How cool is that?  Continue Reading >>


QNX provides OS for new IEC 61508 certified robotics middleware

Paul Leroux

This just in: Systems Engineering Consultants (SEC), a leading realtime technology company in Japan, has developed new robotics middleware that runs on the QNX Neutrino RTOS Safe Kernel. Like the Safe Kernel, SEC's middleware is certified to the IEC 61508 standard at Safety Integrity Level 3, or SIL3. (If you're new to IEC 61508, this certification provides independent validation that a product offers a very high level of reliability when used in safety-critical systems.)  Continue Reading >>

New webinar: Using formal methods to develop medical device software

Paul Leroux

I'm lucky. Every day, I get to work with extremely smart and articulate people. And two of the smartest are my colleagues Chris Hobbs and Yi Zheng. It seems that, every time I talk to either of them, I learn something new. Good, that.
This Thursday, Chris and Yi will deliver a webinar on using formal methods to develop safety-critical software. Specifically, they will discuss the experience of using Rodin, a European formal design tool, to design software for a simple medical device. They plan to cover what worked, what didnt, how much work was involved, and most intriguingly, what surprises were uncovered.  Continue Reading >>

Paul Leroux

Building a medical device that meets strict regulatory requirements is a long and sometimes painful process. To help ease the pain (and more importantly, speed up pre-market qualification activities), QNX has released the new QNX Neutrino RTOS for medical devices, which complies with the IEC 62304 standard for medical device software life cycle processes.  Continue Reading >>

Phonedog connects with QNX concept car at BlackBerry World 2012

If you aren't at BlackBerry World this week, you're missing out. For starters, you won't get to see what, in my biased opinion, is the world's coolest car: the QNX-powered and very connected Porsche 911.
