QNX and AMD offer x86 platform for real-time embedded systems

QNX has expanded its support for AMD Ryzen Embedded x86 processors with the availability of QNX Software Development Platform (SDP) 8.0 for the processor family, providing developers with an x86 option for consolidated real-time embedded systems. The collaboration extends an existing relationship that had previously focused on AMD’s adaptive computing portfolio, including Zynq UltraScale+ and Versal adaptive system-on-chips.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded V2000 is the first processor supported under QNX SDP 8.0, with the Ryzen AI Embedded P100 series planned to follow. Developers can access a board support package for the Sapphire Edge IPC-FP6 platform today. QNX says the combination is suited to applications including automotive digital cockpits, industrial programmable logic controllers, robotics controllers and medical imaging devices.

“By bringing SDP 8.0 to the Ryzen Embedded x86 architecture, we’re giving the market more choice in how they design next-generation automotive, industrial, and medical systems,” Grant Courville, Senior Vice President of Products and Strategy at QNX, said.

Simon George, Director of Embedded Systems, Physical AI, at AMD, added: “We plan to continue growing this collaboration and have QNX support our recently announced AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P100 Series processors, which allows precise resource allocation and deterministic performance for mission and safety critical AI workloads.”
