What’s Included in the Full Feature Evaluation License

QNX Neutrino RTOS

The QNX Neutrino RTOS offers the performance and reliability needed to meet the requirements of complex embedded systems built to today’s increasingly exacting standards for safety and security. Since 1980, thousands of companies have relied on this full-featured RTOS for applications ranging from automotive instrument clusters and advanced driver-assistance systems, to industrial robotics, to train control, to advanced medical devices.

With its microkernel architecture and layered security, the QNX Neutrino RTOS isolates critical processes, protecting them from interference, whether accidental, bugs in other system components (drivers, applications), or deliberate attacks. Systems built on the QNX Neutrino RTOS can be designed to run almost indefinitely—as long as the hardware lasts.

QNX Momentics Tool Suite

The QNX Momentics Tool Suite offers a comprehensive, Eclipse-based integrated development environment (IDE) and powerful command-line tools that are ideal for developers familiar with Linux and POSIX-compliant environments.

Whether you work on Linux, macOS or Windows, the QNX Momentics tools enable your development teams to quickly create, debug, optimize and deploy embedded software projects, including projects built with the QNX Neutrino RTOS, the QNX OS for Safety, the QNX Hypervisor and the QNX Hypervisor for Safety.
