Why QNX Handhelds?
BlackBerry 10 proved QNX could power a pocket computer — real-time, secure, efficient. But BB10 is legacy hardware now. QNX Handhelds explores what comes next: open, hackable handhelds built on QNX Neutrino for people who want reliability without giving up a proper UNIX-like environment.
BerryCore's userland work feeds directly into this vision. Tools and packages proven on BB10 can target new boards, ARM SBCs, and embedded platforms as the initiative grows.
What the project covers
- Hardware targets — SBCs and custom boards suitable for pocket/form-factor builds
- Field tools — rugged, purpose-built devices for technicians and operators
- Software stack — shared tooling with BerryCore where architectures overlap
- Community specs — open documentation for anyone building QNX handhelds
Relationship to BerryCore
BerryCore started on BlackBerry 10. QNX Handhelds looks forward — same OS family, new hardware. As BerryCore expands toward QNX 8.x, ARM, and RISC-V embedded builds, this project is where hardware and software meet for the next wave of devices.
