    This guide gets you started with the Sensor Framework for QNX SDP.
    - Getting Started with the Sensor Framework for QNX SDP
      The Sensor Framework for QNX SDP is built on the QNX Neutrino RTOS, which is a highly available, secure, realtime operating system.
    - Understanding Reference Images
      The Sensor Framework reference images can help you quickly evaluate features or provide a starting point for developing your embedded systems and experimenting with various features.
      - Working with reference images
      - Reference images available
        We provide reference images for a subset of hardware platforms that we support for this release.
      - Reference image sensor support
        Here's an overview of the sensors (lidar, radar, GPS, IMU systems) and cameras the reference images support. In some cases, you can develop or integrate support for an unsupported sensor or camera into an image for your hardware platform.
      - Reference image vision-processing support
        The Sensor Framework integrates with a variety of third-party vision-processing software.
    - Getting Started with the NXP iMX8QM-MEK Image
      This guide describes how to get started with the Sensor Framework for QNX SDP and the Sensor Framework NXP iMX8QM-MEK reference image.
    - Getting Started with the Renesas R-Car V3H Videobox miniPLUS Image
      This guide describes how to get started with the Sensor Framework for QNX SDP and the Renesas R-Car V3H Videobox (miniPLUS) (simply referred to as the R-Car V3H in this guide) reference image.
    - Getting Started with the VMware Image
      This guide describes how to get started with the Sensor Framework for QNX SDP and the VMware reference image.
  - Sensor Framework Libraries
  - Sensor Framework Services
- System Security Guide
  The QNX System Security Guide is intended for both system integrators who are responsible for the security of a QNX Neutrino RTOS system and developers who want to create a QNX Neutrino resource manager free from vulnerabilities.
- Utilities & Libraries
QNX Hypervisor
The QNX Hypervisor allows you to run multiple OSs on a target system so you can separate critical and non-critical functions, support a wide variety of applications, and reduce hardware costs.
QNX Software in the Cloud
QNX Software in the Cloud enables developers to use the QNX software in Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure (Azure).
QNX Advanced Virtualization Frameworks User's Guide
This User's Guide is aimed at all systems integrators and developers who want to design and build embedded systems using the QNX Advanced Virtualization Frameworks.
Typographical Conventions, Support, and Licensing

Reference images available

We provide reference images for a subset of hardware platforms that we support for this release.

The following table lists the hardware platforms for which we provide reference images, the guide that accompanies each image, and the applications that are supported on each image:

Note:

Ensure that you check the release notes to see if there are any known issues with a particular reference image.
