You can get 30-day trial, Partner or Academic license. So what's new exactly?
What I need to know is, does it come with Solitaire using the “Giants of Computing” card deck? Because if it does, that is worth it right there. We ran QNX for ASI statistical multiplexing in TV. I would always fire up a game while waiting for logs.
Can one install QNX as the main OS on a desktop? Or can I boot into the QNX desktop from a thumb drive?
John, Would it be possible to get this installed on a BlackBerry Passport or Q10. The passport is my favorite phone of all time.
Hey, what iPIs are supported ? I have an old first-gen raspberry pi, would QNX work on that ?
Working with QNX today is like working with 25 year old software: tiny community, few examples, lots of issues for which you end doing avoidance workarounds, etc. I would have more interest on it if being open source.
We (Rizin) would love to improve QNX support of our FOSS reverse engineering and debugging framework. We already support[1][2][3][4] it, but can't reliably test. Would be awesome to have the QEMU image out of the box, just like Windows provides ready to use limited VMs for testing[5]. [1] https://github.com/rizinorg/rizin/tree/dev/librz/bin/format/...

If I can help enable your QNX support in any other way, feel free to DM or message: qnxcommunityengagement at qnx dot com.

This is what QNX Everywhere is all about -- opening the community, writing piles of examples and samples, and identifying and fixing the issues that add friction. The team and I have a massive backlog of fun directions to take this, and I'm excited to be getting started!
Earlier quoted context omitted.
what are the extras? RT can also linux.
For starters, QNX has IPC that works over IP-capable networks, which makes things like High Availibility much easier to implement. Drivers are in user-land and can be restarted at runtime. Probably more, but it's been awhile since I used it. A lot of it comes from QNX having a micro-kernel. > RT can also linux. PREEMPT_RT was merged in september of this year[1]. I terms of "hard real-time" with PREEMPT_RT scheduler s…
I do not know what you mean. IPC over IP is at least 50 years old, and today can be done with ANY POSIX system, as it is part of the Standard!
>> Drivers are in user-land and can be restarted at runtime. Probably more, but it's been awhile since I used it. A lot of it comes from QNX having a micro-kernel. And QNX is as microkernel as MacOs
Honesty at this point I don’t know if you are trolling or being sarcastic or you really never used linux. You absolutely can work with drivers in userspace in Linux (that is standard practice for driver development in linux) and has absolutely nothing, not even remotely, to do with the kernel architecture.
>> still not completely deterministic like in QNX.
First we have to admit that RT term is loosy, is used lousy and is full of it. Specially when somebody says “completely deterministic” there is just not a complete deterministic thing in a computer. Bottom line (a) RT Linux is more than enough for anything in the real world. (b) I haven't used QNX lately, but as I did, the only thing deterministic was the “yeah… this box has to be rebooted once a week, or QNX will just hang”
