Access QNX Software on the Cloud

Software development teams are constrained by hardware availability and inefficient processes. QNX solves these challenges by running the QNX® real-time operating systems, including QNX® OS for Safety and QNX® Hypervisor, in the cloud. This means your developers can innovate and collaborate on safety and non-safety projects using cloud instances of QNX software that offer binary parity, which provides confidence that the code will work as intended on the embedded target board.

Harness the Agility, Speed, and Scale of the Cloud

Improve Development Efficiency

QNX® Accelerate lets you reduce time to market by scaling your development and testing resources as needed.

  • Minimize hardware dependence: Decouple software under development from the embedded system target hardware.
  • Develop and test at scale: Establish efficient and flexible workflows. Launch one or multiple instances per user, share any number of instances with a team, or spin up new instance types to support rapid, iterative incremental development.
  • Jumpstart new development projects: Access your existing codebase in the cloud. Scale development activities not only within projects, but across projects.

Enhance the Developer Experience

QNX Accelerate augments the embedded development environment by integrating the methods and capabilities afforded by the cloud.

  • Avoid emulator-target mismatches: Move your development to the cloud early to ensure the CPU cycles in your development environment match those of the embedded target hardware—helping you avoid software churn by maintaining binary parity.
  • Augment DevOps methodologies: Integrate CI/CD pipelines to accelerate testing, verification, and validation.
  • Easily connect QNX tools: Take advantage of the powerful QNX® Momentics Tool Suite, which works with both cloud targets and local targets.

QNX Accelerate FAQ

style
section-padding-top-100, section-padding-bottom-0
QNX Accelerate is not a product but rather an ongoing initiative by QNX to accelerate embedded system development. Under this initiative, we have cloud-enabled the industry-leading QNX real-time operating systems,  QNX OS for Safety, and QNX Hypervisor products, making them available globally on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure marketplaces.
title
Is QNX Accelerate a new product?
loadOpened
true
accordion
true
QNX Accelerate currently supports offerings available in the Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure cloud. Support for other cloud platforms will be considered in the future.
title
What platforms does the QNX Accelerate initiative support?
accordion
true
The desktop and cloud versions of the QNX® OS products are the same—they use the same microkernel and supporting binaries as those available via the QNX Software Development Platform. This parity is an important aspect of our approach to cloud enablement: ensuring that the cloud versions match existing software versions and can expand to support future upgrades. The cloud and desktop products differ only in how they are acquired.
title
Are the cloud versions of QNX products the same as the desktop versions?
accordion
true
The QNX OS products and Hypervisor in the Cloud support the ARM64-based AWS Graviton2 processor. The ARM64 architecture is common in intelligent edge embedded systems, so developers can work with full binary parity and with full confidence that their software will work as expected on a target system.
title
Which processor architectures do the cloud versions of QNX OS products support?
accordion
true
Existing customers with desktop licenses can continue to use the desktop versions—these remain fully supported. Migration to the cloud is entirely at your discretion. Desktop and cloud versions of the products can be used on the same project. Similarly, new customers can choose the desktop versions.  However, the cloud-enabled versions offer significant additional benefits, including reducing the amount of required target hardware and avoiding the need to emulate software.
