   New QNX Academy for Functional Safety Combines Both Companies' Developer Resources into one Comprehensive Offering

  BlackBerry QNX and Texas Instruments Collaborate to Launch Online Training Academy to Jump-Start Embedded Software Developer Innovation 

 
 

Putting both BlackBerry® QNX® and Texas Instruments™ development tools, evaluation hardware, software, and self-paced training at the fingertips of embedded software developers, the new training academy seeks to accelerate the development of systems that are safe and secure and that offer real-time performance.

 

"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, 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."

 

"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 (IMU) 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."

 

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 the powerful TDA4VM Edge AI starter kit from Texas Instruments, access to evaluation licenses of the QNX® Hypervisor for Safety, QNX® Software Development Platform (SDP), and user-friendly self-paced training modules on topics such as safety culture, Safety of the Intended Functionality, Goal Structuring Notation and Bayesian Belief Networks, Fault Tree Analysis, Anomaly Detection, and more. 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 about safety-critical development. Additionally, the written and video training content use real-world examples to help developers at every stage of their project.

 

Visit BlackBerry at Booth #4025 in the West Hall at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas from January 5 – 8, 2023 to view 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.

The field has grown widely from thereon out, and the diversity of today’s offerings makes investing in mobile apps an appealing prospect.

With about 2.87 million apps in Google’s (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google Play Store and around 1.96 million apps available in Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) App Store, there is no shortage of app choices for mobile devices.

In late April, shares of the social media giant jumped 14.6 percent on higher-than-expected earnings. The news came alongside increasing investor confidence in the broader tech industry.

"Solutions Granted has been honored as BlackBerry MSSP Partner of the Year for North America for five consecutive years and we're excited to take our partnership to the next level by crowning them as our top Master MSSP," said Adam Enterkin , Chief Revenue Officer, Americas, BlackBerry Cybersecurity. "BlackBerry is dedicated to increasing its focus on MSSP partners to ensure they're set up for success. Endpoints are proliferating, and so are the cyberattacks against them. Our extended partnership with Solutions Granted will help hundreds of small and mid-size businesses continuously adapt to an ever-changing threat landscape."

By working with Solutions Granted, MSSPs and managed service providers (MSPs) can offer industry leading managed security, without making the significant investment of building out their own security operations center (SOC).

 

  CylanceENDPOINT™ is among the solutions it helps managed service providers (MSPs) deploy to clients, either as individual managed services or integrated into a SOC-as-a-service offering.

 

"BlackBerry's support for our business model provides the flexibility we need to continue to meet customer demand and provide the best possible product support for their business needs," said Michael E. Crean , Chief Executive Officer, Solutions Granted. "We value the investment BlackBerry is making in our partnership and know this will go a long way in setting up our customers for success."

Mobile Investing in Australia

After lagging behind for a prolonged period, Australia's tech sector is ramping up at an accelerated pace. The tech sector is now equivalent to 8.5 percent of the country's GDP as of the end of 2021, an increase of 26 percent since the onset of COVID-19 through June 2021 and a massive 79 percent increase over the past five years. Tech contributes AU$167 billion to the Australian economy, trailing only the mining (AU$205 billion) and financial/insurance (AU$169 billion) sectors.

Australia's characteristically resilient economy — which had not experienced a recession in nearly 30 years prior to COVID-19 lockdowns — has provided a sturdy backdrop for its growing tech sector. The growth in the tech sector’s contribution to the GDP has outpaced average growth of other industries by more than 400 percent, a gain partly attributable to accelerated digital technology adoption during the pandemic.

This dramatic expansion is largely in response to Australia's need to catch up to the rest of the world and assert itself in the global tech marketplace. Should the tech sector continue to grow at its current rate it will eventually surpass the relative GDP contribution of the long dominant mining sector. This will also complete the process of bringing Australia more in line with other western economies such as the UK, and notably Canada, which is comparable to Australia in terms of its dominant mining and agricultural industries.
