QNX Hypervisor

Overview

QNX Hypervisor is a Type 1 realtime priority-based microkernel hypervisor built for managing virtual machines. The QNX®Hypervisor makes it easier to obtain and maintain safety certifications by separating safety-critical components from non-safety critical components in separate guest operating systems. The QNX Hypervisor boasts the ability to meet the precision requirement of an embedded zero-downtime production system.

Standards-based guest communication (virtIO) and flexible virtual machine configuration ensure that the hypervisor environment can be scaled up to large server-class designs (as required in automated drive and high-end computing systems). Additionally, the hypervisor environment can be scaled down into deeply embedded systems (cluster + infotainment automotive systems, ECU consolidation, medical devices, industrial control). The QNX Hypervisor is implemented as virtualization extensions to the industry-proven QNX Neutrino microkernel-based RTOS; inheriting all the realtime and stability of the QNX operating system that already ships in millions of embedded systems worldwide.
