level security through an array of features , including microkernel architecture , file encryption , adaptive time partitioning , a high availability framework , anomaly detection , and multi-level policy-based access control . Featuring the next-generation QNX Neutrino Realtime OS and QNX Momentics Tool Suite , this reliable OS helps guard against system malfunctions , malware , and cyber attacks by implementing a multi-level , policy-driven security model that incorporates best-in-class security technology from BlackBerry . The OS also offers a safety pedigree proven by certification to ISO 26262 ASIL D ( the highest level achievable ) for automobiles and to IEC 61508 SIL 3 for industrial automation systems , and by compliance with IEC 62304 for lifecritical Class III medical devices .
As automakers look to consolidate domain functions such as infotainment , telematics , and digital instrument clusters into a virtual cockpit controller , QNX SDP 7.0 provides a realtime OS that supports 64-bit for the ARMv8 and Intel x86-64 architectures , along with virtualisation capabilities . QNX SDP 7.0 can help ensure that these automated systems perform all processes and actions reliably , within the pre-defined amount of time needed for successful and safe execution .
BlackBerry QNX unveiled a Jaguar XJ concept car with a new digital cockpit design that combines the infotainment and instrument cluster functionality . It shows two operating systems running safely and securely on a single System-on-a-Chip ( SoC ) processor . BlackBerry QNX hypervisor software safely separates and isolates the infotainment system and graphics , meaning the infotainment system can safely re-start without affecting the instrument cluster . BlackBerry worked with Rightware Cluster UI to build the QNX Cluster graphics monitor that can detect failures in the safety system . The Jaguar XJ concept car also features BlackBerry ’ s QNX Acoustics Management Platform ( AMP ) for clear high-definition in-car communication , active noise control , and engine sound enhancement .
BlackBerry QNX also showcased its autonomous Lincoln MKZ concept car , showing QNX SDP 7.0 capabilities in action on Renesas ’ CES test track ( LVCC North Hall , Gold Lot ). BlackBerry QNX worked with Renesas , the University of Waterloo , and Polysync to develop the prototype vehicle that demonstrates Society of Automotive Engineers ( SAE ) Level 4 autonomous driving capabilities . Using LiDAR , radar , forward-facing cameras , global positioning systems ( GPS ), and inertial measurement units ( IMU ), the car can detect obstacles on the road , anticipate dangerous driving situations , and present warnings to avoid collisions to keep drivers and passengers safe . The QNX Platform for ADAS processes data generated from the sensors in realtime , and also records and plays back the data off-line for feature development and testing .
Also on display at BlackBerry ’ s CES booth is a 2017 Aston Martin Vanquish model that is now shipping with BlackBerry QNX ’ s latest in-vehicle infotainment software technology . The new infotainment system is the control centre , seamlessly integrating audio , hands-free communication and vehicle status technologies into the cabin . It also has an upgraded satellite navigation system with a quicker address input , advanced traffic information , and support for Apple CarPlay .
BlackBerry Radar In addition , BlackBerry also showcased BlackBerry Radar , its end-to-end hardware and software asset tracking solution for the transportation and logistics industry . Radar provides more sensor readings , more often than any other solution on the market today . This allows customers to accurately monitor assets , manage yards , analyse utilisation , measure efficiency , and reduce theft based on a near realtime view of the fleet .
Availability QNX SDP 7.0 is the latest in a string of momentum updates BlackBerry has made in its software transformation , and comes less than a month after the company released a mobilenative , secure software platform for the Enterprise of Things , and two weeks after the unveiling of the BlackBerry QNX Autonomous Vehicle Innovation Centre . The beta release of QNX SDP 7.0 is available now for evaluation and product development . General availability is scheduled for Q1 2017 .
