Monolithic Kernel

Application User Interface Application

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.

Architecture – Monolithic Kernel

> 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.

The OS as a team of processes

Microkernel Architecture Benefits

Realtime Executive > No MMU and no protection> Applications, drivers,

and protocols are all in Kernel space

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

Adaptive Partitioning

QNX Neutrino RTOS provides the basic structure > Application and OS service encapsulation with message passing> Hardware memory protection for security and reliability

Adaptive partitioning extends the Neutrino micro-kernel to provide secure partitions and guaranteed CPU time > A collection of processes and threads make up a partition> A partition is assigned a percentage of CPU time, averaged

over a time window> Overlays on existing thread scheduling

QNX Case Study Submarine Robots

What is an Independent Submersible Robot?

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

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

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:

РС-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: МТ-98

Was designed to work at depths of as much as 6,000mand in rugged submarine topography.

Its control system consists of several computersintended 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.
