Radxa + QNX 8.0

1

Всем привет! Хочу сообщить уважаемому сообществу неймоверную новость. А именно то, что мне удалось запустить QNX 8.0 на radxa rock4d. Теперь это не просто игрушка, а серьезное устройство, которое можно использовать в медицине, автопроме, и других ответственных отраслях где требуется “real time” и которое теперь превосходит и оставляет позади своих конкурентов(rpi4, rpi5), а впрочем не конкурентов, а “хлам” для школьного радио кружка. Всем удачи в разработке.

Hello everyone! I’d like to share some incredible news with our esteemed community. Namely, I’ve managed to get QNX 8.0 running on the RadXA Rock4D. Now it’s not just a toy, but a serious device that can be used in medicine, the automotive industry and other critical sectors where real-time operation is required, and which now outperforms and leaves its competitors (RPi4, RPi5) in the dust – or rather, not competitors, but ‘junk’ for school amateur radio clubs. Good luck to everyone with their development work.

Do you have instructions or github link showing how you got QNX running?

There is no GitHub, nor can there ever be. QNX 8.0 is a commercial, closed-source OS; the only thing BlackBerry has provided is the SDP and a set of BSPs for the boards they support. There are no rk3576 or rk3588 boards. BlackBerry is promoting its ‘protégés’ – the RPi4, RPi5 and other board manufacturers – whose prices are sky-high, whilst their performance lags far behind that of the Raxa. At a cost of less than €100 (mine cost me €75 including delivery and 20% tax) + QNX 8.0 on board, this board becomes a potent combination and opens up vast opportunities for Chinese manufacturers (install the QNX hypervisor, run a (Docker) or some other guest OS and enjoy real-time operation and high availability from BlackBerry). Sorry for the late reply, I’ve been swamped with work.
