TüV Rheinland Certifies the QNX ® Hypervisor
2.0 for Safety with ISO 26262 Functional Safety Integrity Level
(ASIL D)
WATERLOO, Canada and
COLOGNE, Germany, Dec. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) today
announced that its QNX Hypervisor 2.0 for Safety has been
recognized as ISO 26262 ASIL D compliant by the independent
auditors at TÜV Rheinland, making it the world's first ASIL D
safety-certified commercial hypervisor. Using the QNX Hypervisor
2.0 for Safety, developers can partition and isolate
safety-critical systems (e.g. body domain control) from non-safety
critical systems (e.g. infotainment), ensuring that critical
systems are isolated and are safely managed in the event of system
failure.
"The world's leading automakers, their Tier 1 suppliers, chip
manufacturers and new startups trust our safety-certified and
secure software platform as the foundation on which to build the
next generation of vehicles," said Grant
Courville, Vice President, Products and Strategy at
BlackBerry QNX. "Gaining ISO 26262 ASIL D and IEC 61508 SIL 3
Certification for our QNX Hypervisor 2.0 for Safety is further
affirmation of our leadership position within the industry."
"Reaching the safety level of ISO 26262 ASIL D for a commercial
hypervisor required a strong coordinated effort between the QNX
team and our independent assessment team. TÜV Rheinland is
proud to be part of this industry-leading accomplishment, helping
to bring the highest levels of safety to automotive controllers and
other embedded systems that require virtualization," said
Thomas Steffens, Regional Business
Segment Manager of the Automation, Functional Safety & Cyber
Security division of TÜV Rheinland Industrie Service GmbH.
As a leader in safety-certified, secure and reliable embedded
software, BlackBerry QNX is used by top automakers for their
advanced driver assistance, digital instrument clusters,
connectivity modules, handsfree, and infotainment systems.
The ISO 26262 ASIL D safety-certified QNX Hypervisor 2.0 for
Safety, in addition to BlackBerry's full suite of automotive
offerings, will be demonstrated at the Consumer Electronics Show
(CES) in Las Vegas from
January 7-10, 2020, at the Las Vegas
Convention Center. Visit BlackBerry at Booth #7515 in the
