QNX Software Systems has announced that its Neutrino real-time operating system (RTOS) safe kernel has been certified to IEC 61508 safety integrity level 3, or SIL 3.
QNX Software Systems has announced that its Neutrino real-time operating system (RTOS) safe kernel has been certified to IEC 61508 safety integrity level 3, or SIL 3.
This certification provides independent validation that the safe kernel offers a very high level of reliability and risk reduction when used in safety-critical systems for transportation, energy generation, process control and other industries.
To achieve its high reliability and fault tolerance, the QNX Neutrino RTOS safe kernel employs a modular microkernel architecture in which applications, device drivers, file systems and networking stacks all run as separate, memory-protected components. This architecture, together with the safe kernel’s adaptive partitioning and multicore support, provides a flexible and field-proven software foundation for mission- and safety-critical systems.
QNX has also introduced an IEC 61508 certification support package to help users of the safe kernel achieve their own system-level IEC 61508 certifications, up to and including SIL 3. The package includes consulting services and documented confidence-in-use data to help users navigate the certification process.
