Learn QNX-INTERNAL-DSLS with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 27, 2025
Installation Setup
Install QNX SDP (Software Development Platform) and required toolchains
Include DSL header files or libraries in project
Configure build system to preprocess or interpret DSL constructs
Compile code with QNX compiler toolchain
Test generated tasks, IPC, and scheduling rules in simulation or target hardware
Environment Setup
Install QNX SDP and Momentics IDE
Set up C/C++ development toolchain
Include DSL headers or libraries
Configure build and runtime environment
Test DSL constructs on simulation or hardware
Config Files
DSL header and macro files
Build system rules for preprocessing DSL
Configuration for tasks, events, and resources
Integration with QNX SDP project files
Documentation for DSL usage and conventions
Cli Commands
Build project using QNX compiler with DSL preprocessing
Run simulation or target deployment
Monitor task scheduling and IPC channels
Debug DSL-generated tasks in Momentics IDE
Update DSL libraries and templates centrally
Internationalization
DSL primarily code-centric, not UI-focused
Messages and logs can be localized if needed
Cross-platform within QNX-supported architectures
Supports Unicode in message/data strings
Can integrate with localized logging or telemetry
Accessibility
Accessible to developers in QNX SDP projects
No direct end-user interface
Integration with debugging and monitoring tools
Documentation and usage patterns shared within teams
Code may be shared across multiple projects for reuse
Ui Styling
Minimal, mainly for developer debugging output
DSL may generate status messages or logs
Optional integration with QNX GUI for visualization
Focus on structured code rather than UI
UI elements mostly used in testing or monitoring dashboards
State Management
Tasks maintain execution state
Events trigger state changes via DSL
Resource allocation tracked by kernel
DSL may define global variables or parameters
Task and IPC state logged for monitoring
Data Management
Data passed via IPC messages
Task-local and global variables handled via DSL
Resource usage and memory tracked
Optional logging to embedded storage
Integration with external telemetry or analysis
