QNX Opens Neutrino Source Code...

Post by Brynet-Inc »

I'm not sure if anyone here has actually used QNX, But they are releasing source code for the "Neutrino" microkernel.. and other system components as well..

The last version of QNX I tried was distributed on a floppy disk :lol:

I thought it looked neat though.. 8)

Wow, this is great news! I can finally confirm a lot of my speculation about how their low-level context switching & pre-emption works. :D
Top three reasons why my OS project died:
  1. Too much overtime at work
  2. Got married
  3. My brain got stuck in an infinite loop while trying to design the memory manager
Don't let this happen to you!
