New QNX operating system to integrate with TTTech Auto's
best-in-class scheduling solutions to support safety and real-time
domains with high computational performance combined with
functional safety
VIENNA, March 7,
2024 /CNW/ -- TTTech Auto and BlackBerry Limited
(NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) today announced an expansion of their existing
partnership to address the growing complexity challenges of
software defined vehicles (SDVs). The co-operation will support the
native integration of the latest QNX® Operating System (OS)
8.0 with TTTech Auto's best-in-class scheduling solutions in a
single safety-certified product. This will enhance performance and
enable better utilization of the underlying semiconductors in
complex and highly mission-critical environments such as Advanced
Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in SDVs.
The joint product from this co-operation will support the
scalability of architectures, from zonal to domain controllers and
central compute, as well as from fail-safe to fail-operational
solutions. By leveraging best-in-class scheduling algorithms, the
design phase is simplified and testing efforts reduced, allowing
users to modify their configuration with just one click and achieve
functional results consistently. The product is pre-certified to
support relevant safety standards (ISO 26262 up to ASIL D) and
security standards (ISO 21434). It will be available for projects
end of Q2/2024 and fully certified in Q4/2024.
"The combination of rapid advancements in silicon chip
performance, increasing system integration and interdependency, and
growing software complexity is creating a pressure cooker
environment for SDV manufacturers," said John Wall, SVP and head of QNX at BlackBerry.
"When safety and security are paramount, there is no room for
compromise. That's where our partnership with TTTech Auto excels.
It will deliver a linchpin product that supports scalable
architectures and complex interactions needed by SDVs on our
trusted safe and secure QNX foundation."
"Developing SDVs makes the old days of auto design look like
child's play," commented Stefan
Poledna, CTO at TTTech Auto. "SDVs of the future require a
system-wide approach that embraces the '4 S's' of system, safety,
security and software integration. In partnership with QNX, we're
helping overcome a major hurdle by offering a pre-integrated and
pre-certified solution that ticks all of the boxes to support
innovation and advancement in SDVs."
This partnership builds on the success of an initial
co-operation announced in June 2022,
through which TTTech Auto and BlackBerry have integrated the
QNX® Neutrino® Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) and
TTTech Auto's safe vehicle software platform, MotionWise. Joint
products from this co-operation are already in production.
