“QNX Realtime Platform Will Feature SH-4
Microprocessors.“
“Hitachi Semiconductor Inc. and QNX Software Systems Ltd.
announced today that the QNX realtime platform will support
Hitachi’s SuperH microprocessor architecture, providing embedded
application and network appliance designers a dynamically
upgradable and fault-tolerant operating system. The QNX platform
will initially support the SH-4, with future plans to support
Hitachi’s SH-5 architectures. The QNX platform is targeted for
network appliances, telecom equipment, and automotive multimedia
applications, including in-vehicle email and navigation
systems.”
“With the Hitachi SH-4 enabled QNX platform, embedded
application developers and designers can deploy products that can
be upgraded ‘on the fly’ with new applications, drivers, and
protocols, without system downtime. The QNX platform can also
recover from software faults without having to reboot, since every
driver, OS component, and application runs in its own
memory-protected address space.”
