QNX recently announced two auto-infotainment contracts, one with DaimlerChrysler, the other with Renault Samsung Motors.
DaimlerChrysler will outfit its research labs in the U.S. and Germany with advanced embedded software from QNX. DaimlerChrysler will use a variety of automotive-grade software from QNX, including the full suite of embedded development tools, the QNX Neutrino RTOS, middleware, and value-added components that include development kits, board-support packages, and source code. DaimlerChrysler will also receive early access to emerging and evolving technology areas, including power management, multimedia, graphics, secure partitioning, and networking.
The deal makes DaimlerChrysler the first company to take advantage of QNX's OEM Innovation Labs (OIL) Program, QNX says. The OIL program lets automakers obtain early access to QNX technologies for their research groups. More info: DaimlerChrysler Outfits Advanced Lab with QNX Software Suite.
Renault Samsung, meanwhile, has chosen the QNX's Neutrino RTOS for a new infotainment system in its SM7 line of cars. The new infotainment system, called INS-700, provides telematics, car device control, reception of multimedia broadcasts, and more.
