This is a developer environment for the QNX real-time operating system primarily used on embedded systems. With now having this developer desktop option, the hassle of cross-compilation to target QNX can be avoided.<\/p>\n<p>The debut QNX Self-Hosted Developer Desktop gets a full desktop environment running atop QNX 8.0 to focus on self-hosted QNX development. This does work with the QNX free personal license for non-commercial use for hobbyists, students, and industry professionals interested in non-commercial QNX use.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>Atop QNX 8.0 is an Xfce desktop environment running atop Wayland. The default compiler toolchains consists of both GCC and LLVM\/Clang plus having Python and other standard build utilities available. IDE \/ code editors like Emacs, Geany, Neovim, and others are available.&#13;<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1766831718_448_image\" alt=\"QNX Developer Desktop screenshot from QNX\"\/><\/p>\n<p>At this stage the QNX Self-Hosted Developer Desktop is distributed as a QEMU usage and has been tested as running as a virtual machine atop Ubuntu Linux. With focused on running as a VM avoids the issue of QNX not typically supporting limited hardware outside of the embedded space. QNX is also going to explore a native image for Raspberry Pi hardware.<\/p>\n<p>Those wanting to learn more about this QNX Self-Hosted Developer Desktop can do so via the <a href=\"https:\/\/devblog.qnx.com\/qnx-self-hosted-developer-desktop-initial-release\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">QNX blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Announced earlier in December but flying under the radar until now is the initial reoease of a QNX&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":474785,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[52124,52123,52121,52120,52127,52125,52122,52126,52119,52130,158,52128,52129,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-474784","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-desktop-linux","9":"tag-linux-benchmarking","10":"tag-linux-hardware-benchmarks","11":"tag-linux-hardware-reviews","12":"tag-linux-how-to","13":"tag-linux-performance","14":"tag-linux-server-benchmarks","15":"tag-open-source-graphics","16":"tag-phoronix","17":"tag-phoronix-test-suite","18":"tag-technology","19":"tag-ubuntu-benchmarks","20":"tag-ubuntu-hardware","21":"tag-united-states","22":"tag-unitedstates","23":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115791092148906733","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/474784","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=474784"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/474784\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/474785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=474784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=474784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=474784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
