BlackBerry Limited and Texas Instruments unveiled the QNX Academy for Functional Safety at CES 2023. The online program is designed to put development tools, evaluation hardware, software, and self-paced training at the fingertips of embedded software developers.
Hosted on the TI Developer Zone (dev.ti.com), the QNX Academy for Functional Safety provides developers with the resources they need to get their safety-critical development projects on the right path, including an AI starter kit from Texas Instruments, access to evaluation licenses, and user-friendly self-paced training modules on topics such as safety culture.
Demonstration hardware and software available through the Academy will enable developers to ‘load and learn’ right out of the box, and apply their learning with practical exercises, providing a foundational understanding of safety-critical development.
Additionally, the written and video training content use real-world examples to help developers at every stage of their project. To get started with the courses right away, visit ti.com/BlackBerryQNXacademy.
“Our collaboration with BlackBerry QNX will help embedded software developers accelerate their product development – allowing them to not only learn but innovate at their own pace,” said Sameer Wasson, vice president of processors, Texas Instruments. “High-performance processors, such as the TDA4VM, feature vision, sensor fusion, and AI technology can dramatically enhance perception and automation capabilities for a variety of systems. As software developers push the limits of what their systems can do, providing resources to help them more easily meet their functional safety requirements becomes even more critical.”
The BlackBerry booth at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas from January 5 – 8 had a demonstration of what the QNX Academy for Functional Safety can teach you to build and to gain a better understanding of how the joint BlackBerry and Texas Instruments solution can reduce developer friction and streamline the development of safety-critical systems.
“When it comes to developing safety-critical systems such as industrial robots, AI vision systems, or real-time industrial control systems, it is important that developers have a solid grounding in functional safety and can leverage products and expertise that are proven and trusted in the industry,” said Grant Courville, vice president, products and strategy at BlackBerry QNX. “With BlackBerry QNX and Texas Instruments collaborating, developers of safety systems get the best of all worlds – the powerful TDA4VM Edge AI starter kit evaluation board from Texas Instruments, access to QNX development evaluation licenses, and prebuilt demonstration software that includes support for camera, Inertial Measurement Unit, and LiDAR sensors out of the box – all coupled with training developed by some of the world’s foremost functional safety experts from BlackBerry QNX.”
