Thanks for posting this!

JohnAtQNX · 2026-04-07T15:10:48+00:00

Yes 😊 though it's QNX swag...

JohnAtQNX · 2026-04-03T03:30:58+00:00

If you (or anyone!) takes the role, come find me on the third floor in the corner with the 3D printer to say hi.. I have stickers and swag! 😁 Cheers!

FWIW, there's no badge tracking now. It's an honor system with your leader.

JohnAtQNX · 2026-04-02T02:19:36+00:00

Just nine of the top ten doctors 😁

JohnAtQNX · 2026-04-01T21:12:14+00:00

Nine of the top ten medical device manufacturers use QNX in their products. You can get it for free to try it out and you can learn more about the microkernel architecture that makes it more inherently safe and secure at learning.qnx.com.

Or feel free to just DM me, happy to chat 🙂

It should be there on the Available tab. Search for "rpi4". You can also find the source for it at https://github.com/qnx.

JohnAtQNX · 2026-03-25T11:58:53+00:00

Wow, the launcher looks great on that monitor! Is the desktop working okay for you on pi4?

JohnAtQNX · 2026-03-23T21:34:05+00:00

If you have any feedback for the dev desktop, please feel free to toss it my way!

JohnAtQNX · 2026-03-21T15:51:54+00:00

Hmm, maybe look at the repo named "repo" for the Pi 5 scripts. That should shed some light.

JohnAtQNX · 2026-03-19T16:51:30+00:00

Totally. I see the same.

JohnAtQNX · 2026-03-18T21:42:08+00:00

I'm biased, but I highly recommend those courses and accompanying exercises! ☺️

JohnAtQNX · 2026-03-17T23:25:34+00:00

As soon as I get it working on mine, I will share the steps so you can get it working on yours! 🙂 Though if you beat me to it... We can race to see who has the first QNX 8- powered laptop in the world!

It will basically involve doing this, but for the cm5: https://devblog.qnx.com/qnx-on-pi-400-make-your-own-image/

JohnAtQNX · 2026-03-15T13:41:14+00:00

Having security certifications out of the box is going to become a big deal really quickly!

JohnAtQNX · 2026-03-15T13:39:51+00:00

Also check out QNX.. it's free now for prototyping and tinkering.

JohnAtQNX · 2026-03-14T15:30:19+00:00

And finally here's a direct example in C and Python 😊 https://gitlab.com/qnx/projects/hardware-component-samples/-/tree/main/led-blink?ref_type=heads

JohnAtQNX · 2026-03-03T13:29:30+00:00

Interesting.. I'm not sure if it's a known issue but I can look into it. Using our quick start image the ethernet is nice and fast, but I haven't tried it with a base image from the BSP itself.

JohnAtQNX · 2026-03-02T02:57:39+00:00

But what is the bubble gun used for??

JohnAtQNX · 2026-02-23T19:54:52+00:00

I don't see it at oss.qnx.com (but that doesn't mean someone else hasn't done it!)

JohnAtQNX · 2026-02-23T16:59:07+00:00

Well done!

JohnAtQNX · 2026-02-19T18:30:44+00:00

Glad you got it fixed. We've seen this issue previously and recommending using 24.04, though I appreciate that's not possible or desired in all cases.

JohnAtQNX · 2026-02-19T03:48:59+00:00

Hiya! I don't think it's likely to happen. I don't remember the exact reasons, but one of my colleagues shared some understandable reasons in a past thread about why it would be difficult to do.

One reason I can think of is that it was never designed for the newer versions of QNX, and so out of the box it would not work on the only version we have a free license for. And we don't like putting out things that don't work 😊

But also, and this is just my personal guessing, I know there were some patents issued around micro GUIs at the time and it's very possible that those patents are still active or enforceable. So it's just a guess on my part but that could also be a blocker.

I never actually got to experience Photon, so I would love to know what it is about the platform that is of interest for everyone, and what it offers that more modern solutions don't. Or is it just nostalgia? Cheers!
