“Most companies are facing problems related to the usage of non-qualified tool chains and software components. The qualification efforts for tool chains are often underestimated and the situation is even worse regarding software components, which will end up in the safety related target design. In most cases there is not only the impact on additional qualification activities. Software based workarounds are often used to mitigate the potential weaknesses of software components with an impact on microcontroller resources (memory, CPU load, etc.).
BlackBerry QNX has a broad portfolio of functional safety-certified embedded software including the QNX OS for Safety, the QNX Hypervisor for Safety, and the QNX Black Channel Communications Technology.
