NI Extends LabVIEW to QNX Neutrino OS

By DE Editors

National Instruments (Austin, TX) and QNX Software Systems (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) have partnered to extend the LabVIEW graphical dataflow environment to the QNX Neutrino real-time operating system (RTOS). Engineers now can use NI LabVIEW with the QNX Neutrino RTOS to add support for multicore processors and target any supported hardware platform for QNX Neutrino.

Engineers using the two technologies are not required to choose a target CPU until much later in the project design. Instead, the engineer can complete the design and prototype stages using commercial off-the-shelf hardware without addressing the final target configuration. After measuring the required CPU performance, the engineer can choose a single core or multicore target based on the specific application needs.
