QNX Fastboot Technology Enhances Intel® Atom™ Processor Designs
By using QNX Software Systems fastboot technology on Intel® Atom™ processor-based ultra‐small computer‐on‐modules, systems designers can achieve instant‐on functionality while taking advantage of the x86 compatibility and high performance per watt of Intel® Atom™ processors. Developers can achieve dramatic boot time and performance gains by replacing the BIOS with customized early initialization of peripherals.
The versatility of BIOS‐based systems is not required in the embedded applications targeted by the Intel Atom processor-based platforms, so it is not necessary to incur the boot time cost when no benefit is gained. With fastboot technology, a designer can select or discard boot steps based on a known hardware configuration specific to the embedded application.
