QNX Operating System: Project overview

This project is the place to develop the crown jewels of QNX: the QNX® Neutrino® Realtime Operating System (QNX6) and key libraries. The operating system is composed of the kernel and the process manager. Because it's a microkernel OS, device drivers, network stacks, filesystems and the like are maintained in separate projects. These projects will be created as the source is released.

What is Neutrino?

QNX Neutrino is a realtime microkernel operating system. It's scalable, embeddable, networked, SMP-capable, memory protected, and cool. Plus it has a POSIX interface so no one has an excuse to not use it. The OS supports several processor families, including x86, ARM, XScale, PPC, MIPS, and SH-4.

Microkernel Webinar Slides posted
I've created a page with the slides and questions from the October 17th Webinar - "Get the inside track on 27 years of microkernel innovation" I posted the questions asked during the webinar, and will attempt to fill in the answers.
