QNX 8 Goes Free for Learning and Personal Projects
Quoting: QNX 8 Goes Free for Learning and Personal Projects —
QNX, a UNIX-like OS with over four decades of history, currently owned by BlackBerry, now offers free access to QNX 8 (the initiative is called QNX Everywhere) for non-commercial use to foster innovation and skills development in the embedded systems community by making the software accessible to a wider audience.
Wait, you haven’t heard of QNX? Let me explain—it’s not your typical OS for everyday computing needs. Instead, it is a real-time operating system (RTOS) known for its microkernel architecture, primarily designed for embedded systems that require high reliability, stability, and performance. QNX Software Systems originally developed it and was later acquired by BlackBerry in 2010.
