QNX Powers Cisco's Universal Media Gateway for Next-generation Digital Video Networks QNX Software Systems recently announced that the QNX® Neutrino® realtime operating system (RTOS) will be shipping as part of the Cisco uMG9850 QAM Module, a new quadrature amplitude modulation product designed to let cable operators use Gigabit Ethernet to deliver video-on-demand and other multimedia services efficiently and cost-effectively to TV set-top receivers. Data-centric video processing has precise timing requirements, making it an ideal application for the hard realtime capabilities of the QNX Neutrino RTOS. With its preemptible microkernel and priority-based preemptive scheduler, the QNX Neutrino RTOS delivers response times that are both fast and highly predictable. High-priority programs can meet their deadlines on time, every time, even under heavy processor loads. Click here to learn more. |

QNX Closes TCP Vulnerability to Denial-of-service Attacks
As part of an ongoing commitment to provide customers with products of the highest
quality, QNX Software Systems has addressed a recently announced security threat
arising from a vulnerability in the TCP specification. By taking advantage of
advanced disclosure, QNX Software Systems was able to work closely with industry-
leading companies to resolve this vulnerability in a timely fashion. Details of
the draft IETF RFC solution can be found at The TCP vulnerability, identified by the NISCC Vulnerability Advisory 236929, arising from a flaw in the original TCP specification, can leave any networked device open to denial of service attacks. Denial of service attacks can impact legitimate users of a service that use TCP/IP as the method of communication. This vulnerability is most likely to affect long-lived TCP connections such as routing protocols.

Web Seminar Download: Optimizing Performance in Embedded Applications Using System Tracing Tools If you missed the live QNX web seminar, "Optimizing Performance In Embedded Applications Using System Tracing Tools," you can now download the archive version. During this technical session QNX Software Systems examined how system tracing tools can be used to gain critical insight into system behavior. OS tools manager Thomas Fletcher provided an overview of tracing and instrumentation and how these techniques can be used to identify bottlenecks and correct system errors. Software developer Colin Burgess then presented a case study on using system tracing tools to optimize performance in an in-vehicle system with tight timing requirements and limited CPU resources. Mr. Burgess looked at areas such as startup sequence, component streamlining, misinterpreted specifications, and resource contention. Click here to learn more. |
