Re: QNX on ruggedized laptop?
Hi,
As QNX is an Embedded OS, it's not very likely that you can just run it on a laptop or desktop PC. You would need to
find a model that features hardware components that are part of the Embedded portfolio of the chip vendors (e.g. Intel)
to increase the chances of having matching drivers on the QNX side.
In case drivers are missing, you could obtain a CSP (Custom Services Plan) contract with QNX, which would enable you to
have QNX R&D develop the drivers for your chosen hardware. However, this might be a major effort. Alternatively, you
could try and run Windows or Linux on your chosen laptop, and then run QNX in a virtual machine. Of course this severely
limits real time capabilities and means somewhat decreased performance, but if it is sufficient for your needs, why not
!
Cheers,
- Malte
