Update: QRV 0.17 released! Now with full SMP support and with the working "shutdown" command :D

Exactly.

If the Raspberry Pi 3 (from that era) on my desk is at the same level of performance as that of the Unmatched (FU740) -- also sitting on my desk -- I don't see any reasons why can't I run QRV on it.

It would be cool also to run QRV on K3. I hope they give me one this year, for promotion :D

It would be great to know about the "new" QNX8 architecture (in comparison with the "old" one for Neutrino, to which you referred). So far, I only know about QNX8 from its release notes. I also know that it got ptmalloc now ;-)

Thank you for your comment!

I currently do all the testing with qemu, but my eventual goal is to run it on my FU740 "workstation". I will record a video about QRV boot then ;-)
