Elektrobit now supports BlackBerry QNX OS for HPC-based automotive architectures

EB and BlackBerry QNX have a long history as collaborators

Elektrobit (EB) corbos AdaptiveCore 2 software now supports the BlackBerry QNX Software Development Platform 7.1 for building high-performance computing (HPC)-based automotive architectures.

Together, EB’s implementation of the AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform and BlackBerry QNX ISO 26262 ASIL D certified OS and Hypervisor technology give automakers and Tier 1 suppliers a complete, pre-integrated foundation for developing secure vehicle electronic control units (ECUs) with the highest levels of safety. Both products are available now.

This extension of the two companies’ longstanding partnership is designed to make it easier for automakers and Tier 1s to develop advanced features and functions related to automated driving, reducing overall time to market. EB corbos AdaptiveCore 2 software and the QNX® Neutrino® RTOS seamlessly integrate to provide an architectural base that meets the highest standards of automotive safety.

EB corbos AdaptiveCore 2 is the basic software for running Adaptive AUTOSAR. Designed as safety element out of context (SEooC), it is the core technology for creating safe, secure, flexible, updatable and high-performance ECUs. It provides a holistic software framework according to the Adaptive AUTOSAR standard.

Commenting on the collaboration, Grant Courville, vice-president of product management and strategy at BlackBerry QNX said:

“Together, BlackBerry QNX and Elektrobit have a proven production program track record in automotive,”.

“The combination of QNX OS for Safety and EB corbos AdaptiveCore builds on that success to meet the current and future needs of the automotive industry.”

As global supplier of embedded and connected software products and services for the automotive industry, EB’s software currently powers over one billion devices in more than 100 million vehicles.

“EB and BlackBerry QNX have a long history as collaborators and innovators in embedded automotive software,” said Christoph Herzog, head of portfolio and product management at Elektrobit.

“With this latest partnership, we are bringing together the QNX OS and Elektrobit’s AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform to facilitate and accelerate automakers’ abilities to bring HPC projects to production.”
