Ottawa, Canada and Andover, MA– (press release excerpt) — QNX Software Systems and I-Logix Inc. today announced the availability of a new interface that will enable users of I-Logix' Rhapsody application development platform to develop applications for the QNX real-time operating system (RTOS). The interface, which will be delivered as an option to Unified Modeling Language (UML) based Rhapsody, will enable developers to use the UML to design, implement and test their applications and to leverage the scalability, fault tolerance, and high-availability benefits of the QNX RTOS v6.

This combined tool allows engineers to focus on designing quality systems without having to spend hours on low-level coding, resulting in a faster development cycle and shorter time to market for developers of networking equipment, consumer electronics, medical instrumentation, and other embedded systems.

Using Rhapsody, developers are now able to seamlessly create, share and re-use application design models using the UML for deployment on the QNX RTOS. Similar to the concept of using IP (Intellectual Property) building blocks for designing integrated circuits (IC) and systems-on-a-chip (SoC), this component-based strategy
greatly reduces the man-hours needed to develop simple, standard features for consumer electronics, networking and medical equipment and other embedded systems.
