Hi Peter

I don't see any indication that FreeRTOS and QNX are in any way related, 
except that they are real-time operating systems. Note that Qt supports or 
supported at one time VxWorks and Integrity too, which are also RTOS.

Qt usually requires a POSIX.1-2001 layer to run, but it's also been known to 
be depopulated to run on even on "who needs a filesystem" systems[*]. So I see 
no reason why it couldn't run on FreeRTOS, provided that the necessary 
adaptations are done.

[*] So QT_NO_FILESYSTEM seen in [1] is actually an option that was used for 
real once. It was a #define, not an environment variable though.
