QNX News Releases
QNX Announces General Availability of QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.5 with Extended Multi-Core Support
|
The new capabilities include:
SMP on ARM Cortex™-A9 processors and Freescale Power e500MC processor cores – The QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.5 now supports symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) on multi-core versions of these processors. Moreover, it can now support SMP on processors with up to 32 cores, providing massive scalability for compute-intensive applications.
Persistent Publish/Subscribe (PPS) Service – This service simplifies the design and maintenance of complex systems that integrate many hardware devices and software components. The service also allows system components to be replaced or upgraded without requiring changes to the system’s human machine interface (HMI).
Improved OS performance – The QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.5 offers faster kernel performance under heavy memory utilization and significantly higher file system throughput on many platforms.
Multiple toolchain enhancements – The QNX Momentics Tool Suite offers a comprehensive Eclipse-based IDE with innovative profiling tools to help developers gain maximum insight into system behavior. Version 6.5 of the suite introduces support for the Eclipse platform 3.5.2, Eclipse CDT 6.0, and GNU compiler (GCC) 4.4.2. The compiler offers optimized dynamic linking, including lazy linking and GNU hashing.
Additional support for x86 boards – The QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.5 introduces support for Intel advanced programmable interrupt controllers (APICs), Intel message signaled interrupts (MSIs), and expanded support for x86 boards from Advantech, Intel, and Kontron.
