QNX® OS for Safety - the industry-leading safety certified RTOS, tailored for safety-critical embedded systems and toolchains.
Overview
QNX® OS for Safety 2.2 is the safety-certified variant of the QNX Neutrino Real Time Operating System (RTOS) - the industry-leading RTOS for developing mission-critical embedded systems software for industries including automotive, robotics, medical devices, industrial controls, and aerospace & defense. It is a foundational software component to support systems that must meet requirements for functional safety.
The microkernel architecture provides an extensible operating system framework managed by the kernel foundational components, system libraries and frameworks. When modified or configured to operate on target hardware, the QNX Neutrino RTOS provides a microkernel operating system with advanced memory protection, distributed processing, symmetric multiprocessing, a dynamically upgradeable architecture, and real-time performance.
Safety certifications are: ISO 26262 ASIL-D (Automotive), IEC 61508 SIL3 (Industrial), IEC 62304 Class C (Medical). Also included: System memory management (SMMUMAN for Safety), math libraries (libm) and security components; a C++ library pre-certified to ISO 26262 ASIL B for templates and headers, and ISO 26262 ASIL D for runtime binaries; qualification for the C and C++ toolchain to TCL 3. The pre-certification provided with QNX OS for Safety significantly reduces the cost and effort associated with achieving system-level safety certification.
This cloud-enabled version of the RTOS is part of the BlackBerry QNX Accelerate initiative. Develop mission-critical embedded systems software, globally, at scale. Accelerate development cycles with full ARM64 binary parity and CI/CD pipeline integration. Focus on innovation, with reduced capital expenditure and faster time-to-market.
Highlights
- Safety-certified microkernel RTOS - safe, reliable, scalable, secure, real-time, high performance, with ARM64 binary parity from embedded target system to the cloud

Financing for AWS Marketplace purchases
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the AWS instance type you run this operating system on. All 22 options bill on the same usage basis, so you are charged only for the hours each instance runs. The dimensions map to different ARM64 Graviton-based instance families and sizes. The t4g line covers general-purpose sizes from nano through 2xlarge. The m6g line adds general-purpose sizes from medium to 4xlarge. The r6g line targets memory-focused sizes. The c6gn line targets compute and network-focused sizes. Larger instances carry higher hourly rates. Choose the instance that fits your development and testing workload.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You pay an hourly software fee for running QNX OS for Safety on the chosen ARM64 Graviton instance. Each dimension maps to one instance size. The rate reflects the instance family and size you run, so larger instances carry higher hourly rates. AWS compute charges bill separately from the software fee.
The software fee meters running hours only. When you stop an instance, the hourly software charge stops accruing. Underlying AWS storage costs for a stopped instance may still apply, but those bill separately from the QNX software. You are charged only for the hours each instance actually runs.
All 22 options run on ARM64-based AWS Graviton processors. QNX OS for Safety in the cloud supports this architecture. ARM64 is common in embedded edge systems, so you develop with binary parity. That means code tested on these cloud instances is expected to behave the same on target hardware.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
