Powerful Embedded Virtualization Software

QNX® Hypervisor 8.0 is built as an extension of the proven QNX® OS 8.0 microkernel design: QNX Hypervisor leverages the security, performance, real-time, and reliability of the trusted microkernel running as a hypervisor host. QNX® Hypervisor 8.0 leverages all the latest features of QNX® Software Development Platform (SDP) 8.0, delivering enhanced throughput, future-proofing architectures, and unparalleled scalability without compromising performance and jitter.

Streamline Embedded Software Development with QNX Hypervisor

Accelerate Development

A Hypervisor built on QNX SDP 8.0 accelerates development and saves time to build mixed-criticality applications by first implementing algorithms on virtual machines. As automotive and industrial applications become more complex, software-defined architectures and digital twins are becoming a mainstay for developing the next generation of use cases. QNX Hypervisor 8.0 allows you to scale and deploy your systems efficiently while building complex embedded applications that interact and work together.

Optimize Resources with Single SoC Consolidation

Consolidate diverse embedded systems with different reliability and security requirements onto a single system on a chip (SoC) with the QNX Hypervisor. Move unmodified legacy code onto the latest hardware simply by running it in an appropriately configured virtual machine. Just as easily, you can innovate with Android™ and Linux®. With guest OSs safely and securely contained in QNX Hypervisor virtual machines, you can run the apps and services you need with the OSs you choose.

Improve Productivity, Security and Modularity with Isolated Virtualization

QNX Hypervisor offers a comprehensive virtualization solution, including virtual memory, CPUs, interrupt controllers, devices, and para-virtualized devices. Adding virtual machine management to the QNX OS microkernel provides reliability and performance, proven for over 40 years in hundreds of millions of mission-critical systems. QNX Hypervisor protects itself and your system from both internal faults and outside interference, including those of guests in virtual machines. If a guest attempts to overstep the boundaries you set, the hypervisor prevents them from completing the action. It also includes the SMMU manager service, which works with hardware System Memory Management Units to ensure that Direct Memory Access devices are contained.

TechInsights forecasts that in 2030, 90% of the vehicles produced will have at least one domain controller, zonal controller, or high-performance central computing unit. Hypervisors that offer rapid and reliable performance with modular design, such as the QNX Hypervisor 8.0, are thus vital to unlocking the potential of these platforms and making the software-defined vehicle a reality.
