a multiprocessing optimized tool chain—

tools that customers are using to facilitate

their transition from a uni-processing

to a multicore model. QNX provides an

environment that allows developers to

extract the maximum performance from

multicore processors. Adding ARM support

was straightforward.”

The groundwork the two companies did

paid off early on. “An automotive OEM,

our customer’s customer, wanted to see a

demonstration of our customer’s (the Tier

1’s) infotainment platform at CES. The Tier 1

only had three months to pull this together,”

said Kerry Johnson. “By leveraging the

investments that QNX and Freescale had

made up front and by basing their design

on the QNX CAR platform, they were able

to build it in time to successfully demo at

CES. This is a remarkable achievement

when you consider the complexity of today’s

infotainment systems.”

QNX CAR Application Platform

The QNX CAR application platform is a pre-

integrated software stack with production-

proven QNX technologies and dozens of

software ecosystem partners. This reference

implementation and reskinable HMI allow

development teams to easily create world-

class infotainment systems.

QNX CAR includes a wide array of QNX

(already deployed in more than 20 million

vehicles), a powerful multimedia framework,

a best-in-class acoustic processing library,

HTML5-based HMI technology and hundreds

of services and utilities.

QNX Software Systems offers RTOS

technology, development tools, feature-

rich middleware, professional services,

and an integrated ecosystem for rock-solid

embedded design and dramatically fast

development time. To learn more,

Freescale i.MX 6 Series

Freescale’s i.MX 6 series is a scalable

multicore platform that includes single-,

dual- and quadcore families based on

the ARM Cortex™-A9 architecture for

next-generation consumer, industrial and

automotive applications. By combining the

power-efficient processing capabilities of the

ARM Cortex-A9 architecture with 3D and 2D

graphics, as well as high-definition video,

the i.MX 6 series provides a new level of

multimedia performance.

Both QNX and Freescale

have extensive

expertise addressing

the automotive market.

However, it is only by

working closely together

that the two companies

are able to deliver a

complete, optimized

hardware and software

solution. That a customer

was able to develop an

advanced prototype in

a highly compressed

timeframe is a testament

to the success of their

collaboration.
