QNX Software Systems has unveiled a new source-code product it claims will shorten the development cycle and increase design flexibility for developers using the QNX Neutrino RTOS. The new QNX Platform Core Source Kit simplifies software debugging and troubleshooting by providing visibility into the source code for virtually all system libraries and OS facilities. As a result, developers can more easily analyse system behaviour for easier code integration, quickly pinpoint the causes of unexpected software behaviour for faster troubleshooting, and, when required, fine-tune OS components to address the specific demands of their application.

The QNX Platform Core Source Kit includes source code for the following components: libraries - system, runtime, networking, encryption, XML, compression, image handling (eg JPEG) etc; driver frameworks - audio, graphics, input, serial, network etc; Posix and QNX utilities - cp, grep, ls, mkdir, sed, touch etc; networking services - TCP/IP, PPP, QNX io-net, remote file systems etc; embedded networking services - tiny stack, embedded web server, data server etc; and instrumentation utilities - trace logging, trace capture etc.

'QNX is passionately committed to making embedded device development easier and more cost efficient for its customers, and our product provides companies with the greatest range of source code for the utmost in design flexibility and programming control', said Dave Curley, Vice President of Marketing at QNX Software Systems.

'No other commercial vendor offers such comprehensive access to source code as QNX'.

The QNX Platform Core Source Kit is licensed per project, and will be available in March 2005.
