The QNX Hypervisor 1.0 is a realtime Type 1 hypervisor that can be used for developing medical devices. By using the QNX Hypervisor, medical device developers can consolidate multiple operating systems onto a single compute platform or system-on-chip (SoC), thereby reducing the cost, size, weight, and power consumption of their products. The QNX Hypervisor is designed to simplify certification efforts for safety-critical systems. It can run safety-related software components on one OS and non-safety components on another OS, while keeping the two operating systems fully isolated from each other, though both run on the same hardware. This technique complements the advanced isolation mechanisms of the QNX Neutrino OS, which prevent software components from corrupting or consuming system resources needed by other components or by the OS itself. The QNX Hypervisor can also simplify the sharing of other resources, including network connections, file systems, and input/output devices such as the I2C serial bus. Developers are spared the effort of writing custom shared-device drivers that increase testing and certification costs and that typically exhibit lower performance than vendor-supplied device drivers. In addition to the QNX OS, the QNX Hypervisor also supports other operating systems, including Linux and Android. It complies with IEC 62304 standard for medical device software.
