NUREMBERG, GERMANY -- (Marketwire) -- 02/26/13 -- Embedded World (Hall 5/5-333) - This week at Embedded World, QNX Software Systems Limited, a global leader in software platforms for connected embedded systems, will showcase pre-integrated software components and tools that can help reduce the costs and effort of developing mission-critical embedded applications for the industrial, automotive, and medical device markets.

QNX Software Systems will demonstrate its advanced software solutions with leading technology partners, including Acontis, Crank Software, Digia, Freescale, KDAB, koenig-pa, KW-Software, MPC Data/Bsquare, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI), and Xilinx.

Demos at the QNX stand include:

Programmable logic controller (PLC) platforms - QNX Software Systems has collaborated with several partners to build two pre-integrated PLC reference platforms that can speed the development of PLCs and other industrial control applications. The platforms integrate the QNX® Neutrino® RTOS from QNX Software Systems; ladder logic and EtherCAT software from companies such as IsaGRAF, KW-Software, and koenig-pa; and hardware such as the Freescale QorIQ® TWR-P1025 Tower System Module and TI Sitara™ AM335x ARM™ Cortex™-A8 processor.

Multimedia and communications demos - QNX Software Systems will demonstrate its rich wireless, video, and HMI support on Freescale i.MX 6 SABRE Lite and TI AM335 Starter Kit boards. The demos highlight how the QNX platform allows developers to work with a variety of application and graphics environments, including the Qt 5.0 application framework, the OpenGL ES 2.0 API for accelerated 3D graphics, and Crank Software's Storyboard Suite. The demos feature several applications - including a medical monitor, digital instrument cluster, and digital thermostat - as well as support for H.264 and MP4 video, and for Wi-Fi® and Ethernet communications.

QNX CAR™ platform demo - This pre-integrated software stack is designed to reduce the effort of building advanced infotainment systems for the connected car. Features include an auto-centric HTML5 framework for leveraging the mobile ecosystem, integration with popular smartphone platforms, high-definition hands-free communication, advanced personalization options, as well as integrated partner technologies for hybrid navigation, natural speech recognition, streaming Internet radio, weather reporting, FOTA (Firmware Over-The-Air) software updates, and Bluetooth® profiles.
