Open-Source Projects from QNX

This collection of repositories contains free and open-source demos, applications, frameworks, and libraries all built to run on QNX.

QNX has been building safe and reliable systems for more than 40 years. It is the embedded OS of choice for vehicles, ventilators, train controls, factory automation systems, medical robots, and more.

Open-source software support is built into QNX by design. QNX supports open-source software developed for POSIX operating systems out of the box. Many existing open-source projects can be compiled for QNX with little or no modifications! For example, QNX SDP 8.0 uses open-source implementations for its command line tools (toybox), memory allocator (ptmalloc), and networking stack (io-sock).
