BlackBerry’s QNX Launches Hypervisor 8.0 to Accelerate Embedded and Automotive Software Development

QNX, a division of BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB), launched *QNX® Hypervisor 8.0, a new embedded virtualization platform designed to streamline and scale complex embedded software development — particularly for next-generation **automotive and IoT systems**.

Built on the QNX Software Development Platform 8.0, the hypervisor supports simultaneous use of operating systems like Android, Linux, and QNX on a single SoC. It features robust isolation of critical systems through virtualized memory, CPU, devices, and para-virtualized VIRTIO-compliant interfaces.

The platform targets growing demand from the automotive industry as vehicles transition to **software-defined architectures**. Analysts project that by 2030, 90% of vehicles will utilize domain or central computing controllers, increasing the need for efficient hypervisor solutions.

With broad industry adoption already — including use by BMW, Toyota, Honda, and Mercedes-Benz — QNX Hypervisor 8.0 is poised to become a foundational technology in modern, safety-critical applications.

QNX Launches Hypervisor 8.0 to Power Next-Gen Automotive and Embedded Systems

QNX, a division of BlackBerry Limited, has launched **QNX Hypervisor 8.0**, a powerful embedded virtualization platform designed to accelerate and simplify development of complex embedded software systems. Built on the QNX Software Development Platform (SDP) 8.0, it allows multiple operating systems—including Android, Linux, and QNX—to run securely on a single system-on-chip (SoC).

Targeted at the fast-growing automotive and IoT markets, Hypervisor 8.0 offers robust virtualization features such as virtual memory, para-virtualized devices, and CPU isolation. It supports a mixed-criticality architecture, enabling developers to build high-performance, safety-critical applications with greater speed and efficiency.

QNX has partnered with Groq to leverage its advanced Language Processing Units (LPUs) and is already powering tens of millions of vehicles worldwide. The new hypervisor is expected to play a key role in enabling software-defined vehicles and future-proofing embedded systems across industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical, and robotics.

John Wall, COO of QNX, emphasized the platform’s scalability and developer-first focus, noting its blend of Type 1 performance and Type 2 flexibility. With pre-built virtual device examples and VIRTIO-standard support, QNX Hypervisor 8.0 aims to streamline embedded system development for global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.

QNX continues to be a trusted foundation for critical embedded applications used by leading companies including Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Honda, and Volkswagen.
