QNX Partner Demonstrations at Embedded World

The following members of the QNX ecosystem will demonstrate their technologies running on the QNX platform:

Acontis will demonstrate its EC-Motion EtherCAT motion library running on the QNX Neutrino RTOS and a TI Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 processor. The demo will show a Yaskawa Sigma-5 EtherCAT drive running in cyclic synchronous velocity mode. To see the demo, visit the IXXAT Automation GmbH stand, Hall 1/1-538.

Crank Software will showcase an automotive demo that features a center stack and digital instrument cluster created with the Crank Storyboard Suite for user interface development. The demo runs on the QNX CAR application platform. Visit Hall 4/4-330.

Digia - Digia will demonstrate the latest release of the Qt application & UI framework, Qt 5, running on a Freescale i.MX 6 quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor. The demo, "Qt 5 on the QNX platform - a Cinematic Experience," will show many of the new Qt 5 Qt Quick 2 graphics features, such as particles, sprites path animation, and custom shaders, all within a native application where maximum performance can be extracted from the underlying hardware. Visit the Qt by Digia stand, Hall 4/4 - 520.

Freescale and koenig-pa will demonstrate a PLC reference platform that integrates koenig-pa EtherCAT protocol software, ISaGRAF PLC firmware, and the QNX Neutrino RTOS on a Freescale dual-core QorIQ P1025 processor. The EtherCAT Master stack in this demo supports 1 millisecond cycle times while using less than 1% of a core on the P1025 processor. Visit the Freescale stand, Hall 4A/4A-206, and koenig-pa stand, Hall 5/5-425. For more information, visit www.freescale.com/goPLC.

KDAB - KDAB will showcase an application to display, record, and control video signals from an IP camera written in Qt5 and QML. The user interface and control software run on the QNX Neutrino RTOS and a Freescale i.MX 6 SABRE Lite ARM Cortex-A9 platform. Visit Hall 4/4-622.

KW-Software will demonstrate a PLC development platform developed in collaboration with QNX Software Systems, TI, and koenig-pa. This integrated platform is designed to facilitate the building of industrial control applications. Visit the KW-Software stand, Hall 1/1-446.

MPC Data/Bsquare - MPC Data, a Bsquare Company, will showcase a high-performance graphics demo based on OpenGL and the QNX Neutrino RTOS. Visit the Future Electronics stand, Hall 4A/4A-108.

Xilinx - Xilinx will showcase the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC Intelligent Drives Platform, a high-precision, low-noise, multi-motor electrical drive demonstration running on the QNX Neutrino RTOS. Visit the Xilinx stand, Hall 1/1-205.
