For decades, QNX has been running the systems people bet their lives on, from medical devices and factory floors to trains, robots, and more than 275 million vehicles. It guarantees not just that your code runs, but exactly when. Now QNX 8.0 is free for non-commercial use, and the QNX team wants to see what you do with it when nobody hands you a spec. Build a robot that reacts in microseconds instead of milliseconds. Write the driver nobody has written yet. Port something you love to QNX, or build the tooling you always wished existed. If it runs on QNX 8.0, or helps someone else build for it, it counts. Pick your category and compete for a share of $50,000. Show us what you can do! Why join? Get your hands on a real-time OS, free. QNX Everywhere gives you QNX SDP 8.0, QNX Developer Desktop, and the QNX Hypervisor for non-commercial use, plus free training courses to get you moving. No target hardware required; QEMU works, and so does a Raspberry Pi 5. In 275 million vehicles. Now on your laptop. Not a teaching edition or a stripped-down trial. It's the same QNX that ships in commercial systems, and until QNX Everywhere, building on it meant a commercial license. Compete for $50,000 in prizes. Plus swag, a coffee chat with a QNX exec, and a feature on the QNX blog and social channels.
