organizations and hobbyists to boost skills development
LAS
VEGAS, Jan. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CES
-- BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) today launched QNX®
Everywhere, a new initiative to address growing global demand for
highly-skilled embedded systems' developers. As markets including
automotive, industrial, robotics and medical pursue a
software-defined future, software engineers familiar with the most
popular platforms and technologies are in high demand. With QNX
Everywhere, BlackBerry is offering easy access for students,
academic and research organizations, and hobbyists to develop
knowledge of QNX® technologies that are trusted by the leading
eight medical device manufacturers and more than 45 of the leading
vehicle manufacturers worldwide.
"Embedded devices are becoming increasingly software-defined,
complex and pervasive, at a speed that is outpacing the talent
market's ability to upskill on practical knowledge," said
Grant Courville, VP, Products and
Strategy, BlackBerry QNX. "The QNX Everywhere initiative offers
frictionless access to QNX software for students, hobbyists, and
academic and advanced research organizations. By making QNX
accessible to these enthusiasts and groups, we hope to increase
availability of valuable skills across the global developer
ecosystem."
QNX Everywhere will introduce elements including self-service
access to QNX software, on-demand training, QNX-optimized
open-source projects and easy access to cloud-enabled development
tools. Additionally, QNX will be providing support for broadly
available, low-cost CPU boards to help enable developers to easily
design and test their software on embedded hardware.
The initiative will commence in early 2024, with further details
to be available on the BlackBerry.com website in coming weeks.
