OPC UA - running on QNX

Erlangen, August 22, 2009 - The ascolab GmbH ported the OPC UA ANSI C Stack to new embedded operating system. Together with QNX Software Systems the OPC UA Server was ported and tested on the new QNX Neutrino V6.4.1 running on an Intel Atom processor. The QNX real time operating system natively supports a full set of SSL functions. This made porting much easier and directly enables the OPC UA Server for encryption and authentication. Toolchain files including cross compiler settings were adapted and the new OPC UA Software Development Kit (SDK) for QNX will be available for evaluation download soon. Unified Automation GmbH
