Editing QNX (section)

== Uses ==

The [[BlackBerry PlayBook]] [[tablet computer]] designed by BlackBerry uses [[BlackBerry Tablet OS|a version of QNX]] as the primary operating system. The [[BlackBerry 10]] operating system is also based on QNX.

QNX is also used in car infotainment systems with many major car makers offering variants that include an embedded QNX architecture. It is supported by popular [[Transport Layer Security|SSL/TLS]] libraries such as [[wolfSSL]].<ref name="wolfssl"/>

Since the introduction of its "Safe Kernel 1.0" in 2010, QNX was projected and used subsequently in automated drive or [[Advanced driver-assistance systems|ADAS]] systems for automotive projects that require a [[functional safety]] certified RTOS. QNX provides this with its QNX OS for Safety products.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blackberry.qnx.com/en/software-solutions/embedded-software/rail-safety/qnx-os-for-safety|title=QNX OS for Safety}}</ref>

QNX Neutrino (2001) has been [[Porting|ported]] to a number of platforms and now runs on practically any modern [[central processing unit]] (CPU) family that is used in the embedded market. This includes the [[PowerPC]], [[x86]], [[MIPS architecture|MIPS]], [[SuperH|SH-4]], and the closely interrelated group of [[ARM architecture|ARM]], [[StrongARM]], and [[XScale]].

As of June 26, 2023, QNX software is now embedded in over 255 million<ref>{{cite web |title=QNX Embedded Technology Powers 255 Million Vehicles On The Road Today |url=https://www.blackberry.com/us/en/company/newsroom/press-releases/2024/qnx-embedded-technology-powers-255-million-vehicles-on-the-road-today}}</ref> vehicles worldwide, including most leading OEMs and Tier 1s, such as BMW, Bosch, Continental, Dongfeng Motor, Geely, Ford, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo, and more.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BlackBerry Software Is Now Embedded In Over 235 Million Vehicles |url=https://www.blackberry.com/us/en/company/newsroom/press-releases/2023/blackberry-software-is-now-embedded-in-over-235-million-vehicles |access-date=2024-09-23 |website=www.blackberry.com}}</ref>
