Monolithic Kernel

The kernel contains the OS kernel functionality and all drivers, so driver development is complex and debugging can be painful. Applications are processes in protected memory space, so the kernel is protected from applications and applications are protected from each other.

The OS as a team of processes

> The QNX Neutrino OS consists of a small microkernel managing a group of cooperating processes. > QNX Neutrino acts as a kind of "software bus" that lets us dynamically plug in/out OS modules whenever they're needed.

High Availability

What is High Availability?

Availability = The probability that a system or subsystem

will perform its intended function at a given instant of time.

MTBF AVAILABILITY = MTBF + MTTR

99.999% Availability = Fewer than 5.25 minutes of Annual Downtime As MTTR approaches 0, Availability reaches 100%
MTBF: mean time between failure MTTR: mean time to repair

Critical Process Monitor

Critical Process Monitor (HAM) monitors components and sends notification of component failure Heartbeat services detect component hang Core file on crash can be created for debugging and analysis Recovery from crash can be:
> Controlled shutdown or system restart > Restart of only the failed subsystem (driver)

Adaptive Partitioning

Secure.
> Build secure compartments around your applications to protect them from external threats

Real Time.
> Build high performance real time systems > No CPU cycles are wasted

Guaranteed.
> Ensure availability by guaranteeing CPU cycles for critical system functions

Adaptive Partitioning in a Nutshell

What is Adaptive Partitioning?
> QNX Neutrino RTOS extension that enforces secure compartments or partitions around a set of applications or threads > Enforces system resource guarantees for applications, controlled through easy to use budgets

Why is it Adaptive?
> Provides minimum resource guarantees, but free resources can be reallocated if not in use to accommodate spikes in demand > Patent-pending design ensures that no CPU cycles are wasted when processing power is required

Easy to get started

> No code changes are required to implement partitions > Does not change how designers work today Same, familiar design, programming & debugging techniques

QNX Case Study Submarine Robots

What is an Independent Submersible Robot?

Independent Submersible Robot (ISR) is an automatic self-propelled vehicle carrying research instrumentation and able to:

Submerge at a specific oceanic location to large depths Move along a specified trajectory Perform intended tasks Independently return to the mother ship or coast station

Mission examples

Surveillance and exploratory missions at large depths and in rugged submarine topography Under-ice missions Fiber-optic cabling works Exploring water-filled tunnels Search and rescue operations Water environmental monitoring operations

On-board equipment

Environment measuring instruments Photo and video facilities Surveillance sonar Geophysical equipment (magnetometer, acoustic surface analyzer, gravimeter) Computer vision system Magnetometric and electromagnetic sensing units

Requirements for on-board systems

The motion control system must ensure stable control of course, speed, depth (or height above bottom level). The navigation system must be capable of keeping up a required track, approaching a specified object, and determining the location with an accuracy of several meters. The computer vision system must ensure recognition of specified objects and their orientation. The behavior planning system must ensure the ISR's ability to keep up a specified track and to perform required maneuvering operations in the vicinity of a specified object.

Control system functions

Maintain coordinated operation of on-board units and systems according to a specified mission Control the state of on-board equipment and the ISR's body, as well as monitor the environment conditions to ensure safety Perform data gathering and storing Perform pre-start checkouts of on-board equipment and the loaded mission program Interact with the remote control system at the mother ship's control station

Computer System

The on-board electronics, such as processors and controllers, are enclosed in firm containers that are made 15 cm in diameter to fit in the ISR's limited internal space. The ISR carries on board one to several processors combined in a LAN. On-board Ethernet Serial line RS-485.

On-board computers
Requirements:
Compact size Low power consumption Ability to work in duty-heavy surrounding conditions Independency Reliability and maintainability

Choice:
-104/104+ single-board computers Lippert Cool RoadRunner, Cool SpaceRunner, and Cool EcoRunner

Distributed Control System

Requirements: Minimal system overhead on CPU resources Distributed processing support LAN modifiability support System timers and priority mechanism support System reliability and predictability Simple implementation and wide applicability QNX 4.25 users historically Deployed new products withQNX 6 Development tools: Momentics GUI: Photon

Distributed Control System

Examples: -98

Was designed to work at depths of as much as 6,000m and in rugged submarine topography. Its control system consists of several computers intended for different tasks and combined in an Ethernet local area network. The LAN is operated by QNX OS.

Examples: Solar ISR

Unmanned submarine vehicle designed to perform oceanographic measurements for an extended duration (e.g. multiple days).

On-board computer controlled by QNX.

The interaction between the submersible's on-board computer and the operator's computer is implemented via a radio-modem or acoustic modem, with the submersible's on-board computer working as a remote node of the QNX network.

Examples: Independent tethered submersible "TSL"

Designed to perform surveillance and exploratory work on shelves at depths of as much as 200 meters, and to execute visual exploration of underwater parts of docks, bottom structures, sunk objects, large water-filled tunnels or containers, and underwater pipelines. Control system is distributed and consists of an on-board autopilot computer and the operator's remote control. The operator's remote control and the on-board computers are combined in a QNX-based network. The interprocessor data exchange is performed based on the QNX built-in message passing.

Summary

Institute of Marine Technology of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vladivostok, Russia and have used QNX since 1994. The QNX OS allows them to build robust and compact systems. No failures of QNX-based ISR control systems at all. The Institute is planning to deploy QNX for future products. Migration from QNX 4.25 to QNX 6.3 - advantage of MIPS, PowerPC, SH-4, XScale, and ARM architectures in building compact submersibles.
