QNX and AMD Collaborate to Enhance Robotic Systems

QNX, a division of BlackBerry, has announced an expanded collaboration with AMD to boost performance in robotic systems and other embedded devices. This collaboration now includes QNX Software Development Platform 8.0 for a range of AMD adaptive platforms, such as the Kria SOMs and Zynq UltraScale+. This partnership strengthens high-performance applications on the QNX Operating System and Hypervisor.

The initiative, which builds on the collaboration from April 2024, highlights QNX's commitment to delivering robust solutions for industrial, medical, automotive, and robotic applications. With the enhanced capabilities, developers can leverage QNX's real-time operating system to handle computationally intensive tasks effectively, utilizing multicore processors and hardware accelerators for efficiency.

The collaboration allows robotic developers to exploit AMD's cutting-edge technology. The improved QNX SDP 8.0 ensures deterministic scheduling and low latency, vital for high-priority tasks like sensor processing and motion control.

QNX's expansion in supporting AMD devices represents its dedication to offering powerful solutions in the embedded systems landscape. This collaboration facilitates the creation of sophisticated applications, promoting innovation and competitiveness.
