Free QNX Everywhere software resources now available, accelerating developers' ability to access, build, and deploy QNX-based systems
QNX, a division of BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB)(TSX:BB), today reaffirmed its commitment to making its high performance foundational software more broadly available for non-commercial use with a view to making embedded systems learning, experimentation and innovation easier than ever before.
As part of the QNX® Everywhere initiative, which seeks to nurture and grow QNX's worldwide developer community, students, schools, research organizations, and hobbyists can now quickly and easily gain free access to the QNX® Software Development Platform (SDP) 8.0, along with complimentary resources and on-demand training to empower budding developers to sharpen their skills and build groundbreaking solutions and demos.
Bridging the Skills Gap for a Software-Defined Future
As industries like automotive, industrial, robotics, and medical advance toward a software-defined future, the demand for skilled software engineers proficient in the world's leading platforms and technologies continues to surge. In response to this, the QNX Everywhere initiative was established to deliver critical education and resources, enabling the next generation of engineers to possess the skills and technical know-how to thrive and shape the future of the embedded world.
"Software engineering is the cornerstone of our future, enabling us to tackle society's most complex challenges, from autonomous driving to robotic surgery," said Grant Courville, SVP, Products and Strategy, QNX. "As our reliance on intelligent, connected technologies grows, initiatives like QNX Everywhere are crucial in making learning more accessible, providing developers with cutting-edge tools and technologies to fuel exploration, creativity, and problem-solving like never before. We're thrilled to expand access to QNX software for non-commercial use on a large scale basis for the first time ever, and we can't wait to see the countless innovations it's sure to spark."
Fostering Collaborative and Community-Driven Innovations

Access to engineering-led tutorial content like accessible how-to videos explaining embedded systems software development and operating system concepts.
"Whether you're an aerospace enthusiast looking for a software platform to launch and guide model rockets into space, an aspiring engineer aiming to develop autonomous robot prototypes, or a retro gaming fan wanting to build a custom console, QNX Everywhere can help you get there," added Courville.
Future Growth: Scaling QNX Everywhere Through Global Engagement
Future plans on the QNX Everywhere roadmap include establishing additional post-secondary computer science and engineering program collaborations as well as involvement in developer events and more.
