Interface speeds real-time development
QNX Software Systems and I-Logix have developed a new interface that will enable users of I-Logix' Rhapsody application development platform to develop applications for the QNX RTOS.
QNX Software Systems and I-Logix have developed a new interface that will enable users of I-Logix' Rhapsody application development platform to develop applications for the QNX real-time operating system (RTOS) The interface, which will be delivered as an option to Unified Modeling Language (UML)-based Rhapsody, will enable developers to use the UML to design, implement and test their applications and to leverage the scalability, fault tolerance and high-availability benefits of the QNX RTOS v6

Rhapsody bridges a gap in code testing
I-Logix has enhanced its Rhapsody embedded design product to allow developers to bridge the gap between design-level and code-level testing.
Real-time embedded applications put to the test
I-Logix claims its Rhapsody TestConductor is the industry's first UML-compliant scenario-based test generation suite for real-time embedded applications.
This combined tool allows engineers to focus on designing quality systems without having to spend hours on low-level coding, resulting in a faster development cycle and shorter time to market for developers of networking equipment, consumer electronics, medical instrumentation and other embedded systems.
Using Rhapsody, developers are now able to seamlessly create, share and re-use application design models using the UML for deployment on the high availability, fault-tolerant and scalable QNX RTOS.
Similar to the concept of using IP building blocks for designing ICs and SoCs, this component-based strategy greatly reduces the man-hours needed to develop simple, standard features for consumer electronics, networking and medical equipment and other embedded systems.
"OEMs building the QNX RTOS into mission-critical embedded systems are under pressure to deliver complex applications in record time, while ensuring their products are as bug-free as possible", said Linda Campbell, vice president of strategic alliances, QNX Software Systems.
"By collaborating with I-Logix, we are enabling QNX users to take advantage of the Rhapsody platform to validate system behaviour, compress product development cycles, and deliver precise production-quality implementations".
"As the pervasive computing era becomes a reality, I-Logix' customers are faced with designing more complex systems, with higher performance requirements and smaller form factors", said Neeraj Chandra, senior vice president of marketing and corporate development, I-Logix.
"This interface allows Rhapsody users to develop to the QNX RTOS and take advantage of its remarkable reliability and scalability, further extending the abilities of real-time development to our users.
In addition, the Rhapsody platform and QNX RTOS combine to increase the modularity of a design, which decreases development costs".
