Direct Insights develops BSP

Author: EIS Release Date: Jan 6, 2022

Direct Insight, the Oxfordshire embedded specialist, has developed a Board Support Package (BSP) which enables the use of QNX 7 with the Boundary Devices’ Nitrogen 8M board, an ARM-based SBC designed to leverage the  capabilities of NXP’s i.MX8M Mini Quad processor.

 

Designed for mass production with a guaranteed 10 year lifespan, FCC pre-scan results, and a stable supply chain, the Nitrogen 8M is optionally available with versions that are conformally-coated and meet industrial temperature ranges. It can fully customised for cost optimisation and industrialisation.

 

The QNX OS matches for the Nitrogen 8M, as it suits real time, safety critical applications, and the BSP created by Direct Insight enables designers to get to market quickly with industrial designs. 

 

The BSP is available to download in binary form, subject to license agreement, for evaluation purposes. It is also available as source code under a per-project license.

 

 “Our BSP for Boundary Devices’ Nitrogen 8M  SBC contains all the basic features required to run the QNX OS on the board,” says Direct Insight’s md David Pashley.
