New Delhi [India], Nov 8 ( ANI ): BlackBerry Limited and Tata Elxsi on Wednesday announced their strategic partnership to help companies design and develop secure, mission-critical solutions for industries such as automotive, industrial, medical and network communication using BlackBerry
QNX technologies.
QNX - which also runs nuclear power plants, medical instrumentation and Cisco's core Internet routers - is the brains behind many of the infotainment systems shipping in new cars, and RIM plans seamless interaction between those dashboards, its PlayBook and its range of BlackBerry smartphones.
QNX claims its modular microkernels make its operating system fault tolerant by protecting the overall system from modules that have "crashed." Also, by remaining format-neutral--Poliak says
QNX "is Switzerland when it comes to media formats"--it can integrate competing formats into compliant modules that can be ported to the vehicle during assembly or as an update.

QNX drivers for a wide range of I/O hardware, as well as a comprehensive API that allows signals in the model to be used in other on-line software for visualization and interaction.
IBM Corp and Motorola Inc, along with embedded operating systems company
QNX Software Systems Inc and development systems firm Embedded Planet Inc, are collaborating on a new effort to define an in-car-computing applications framework.
