BlackBerry and TTTech issue a game-changing scheduling tool for QNX 8

On December 10, 2024, in Waterloo, Ontario, BlackBerry Limited and TTTech Auto announced the launch of the MotionWise Schedule for the QNX Software Development Platform (SDP) 8.0. This innovative scheduling solution aims to streamline the development of software for software-defined vehicles (SDVs) by providing advanced runtime scheduling capabilities. As automotive software becomes increasingly complex, there is a growing need for reliable and safe solutions that ensure real-time execution of applications within these vehicles. The introduction of MotionWise Schedule is particularly timely, addressing the demands of an evolving automotive landscape where precise timing execution is critical for operational success. The partnership between BlackBerry and TTTech Auto signifies a collaborative effort to enhance the development processes for automakers. The MotionWise Schedule is designed to work seamlessly with QNX SDP 8.0, allowing developers to manage software workloads effectively while minimizing the complexities associated with manual scheduler configurations. Traditionally, adjusting schedulers necessitated repeated cycles of testing and iterations, causing production delays and increased costs. With the new solution, developers can implement a high-performance runtime environment that supports deterministic task scheduling, ultimately accelerating bring-to-market strategies for innovative automotive software. Stefan Poledna, CTO and Co-Founder of TTTech Auto, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, highlighting that the MotionWise Schedule complements the QNX operating system by providing advanced scheduling policies that are designed to be safe and secure. This partnership is anticipated to enable original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to deliver new and valuable features to end users promptly, streamlining the management of various processes involved in software development. As software-defined vehicles continue to reshape the automotive industry, BlackBerry and TTTech Auto are positioning themselves as leaders in delivering solutions that meet these new challenges effectively. The MotionWise Schedule will be showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) from January 7 to 10, 2025, in Las Vegas, where industry stakeholders will have the opportunity to experience firsthand the benefits of this innovative scheduling solution. With an increasing focus on cybersecurity and safety within the automotive sector, BlackBerry's commitment to securing a connected future aligns well with TTTech Auto's expertise in developing software solutions. Through their combined efforts, they aim to empower developers and vehicle manufacturers to navigate the complexities of technology integration, ensuring that software plays an increasingly reliable role in the vehicles of the future.
