6. 1.1 History:1. Primitive beginnings:The first operating system launched by Research in Motion(RIM -the
company behind BlackBerry)
Was actually on a pager rather than a smartphone. At this stage
the OS already offered email, agenda, calendar and limited HTML
access.
6

7. 2. 2000: The evolution begins:The second version of the BlackBerry OS was a big step forward
from the first. The operating system was migrated from a two-way
pager to PDA format and the capabilities of the platform were
ramped
up.
The
OS
included email, web
browser, agenda, calendar, notes and even games!
3.2002: The first BlackBerry smartphone OS emerges:BlackBerry 3.x was the first version of the operating system to be
used on board a phone. Features were very similar to the PDA
version, though, notably, Java support was added for the first time.
7

8. 4.Color screens and improved web browsing:In 2004 the first color screen BlackBerry devices were unveiled,
loaded with the shiny new BlackBerry 4.x OS.
BlackBerry OS 4 could be considered RIM‟s first „modern‟
smartphone operating system. The OS offered an improved HTML
browser,
a Gallery application
for
viewing
photos
and
enhanced two-way chat capabilities.
BlackBerry OS 4 was the operating system with the longest shelf-life
of all RIM‟s platforms. After 2004, new versions were being released
(4.1 (above), 4.2, 4.3, 4.3, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 (below)) until 2008.
8

9. 5. BlackBerry goes main-stream:The launch of BlackBerry OS 5 coincided with the period of biggest
expansion for BlackBerry. Its gain in popularity was in part thanks to
improved mobile internet connectivity, and also through the
launch of slicker hardware aesthetics, aimed at a younger
generation of users.
Version 5 of the OS offered a much improved email application, file
viewer, wireless contact syncing, Gmail integration, BlackBerry
Maps, and much more.
BlackBerry OS 5 was also the first RIM operating system with support
for touchscreen devices, which began to hit the market in 2008.
6. 2010: The social revolution comes to BlackBerry:In 2010 RIM launched the sixth version of its operating system, which
boasted among its new features: an improved browser, with
tabbed navigation; integrated system search; social networking
notifications (Facebook, Twitter, BlackBerry Messenger, LinkedIn,
etc.) and a native YouTube app.
9

10. 7. 2011: Minor tweaks:BlackBerry OS 7 is the version that today‟s BlackBerry devices are
armed with – at least until BlackBerry 10 rolls out. The new additions
in respect to version 6 were: FM radio, a tool for creating WiFihotspots, NFC support and updates to some native applications.
8. 2013: BlackBerry 10 – RIM’s resurgence:BlackBerry 10 will deliver a fresher, revamped UI, bringing wholesale
changes made to the way users interact with their BlackBerry
devices. It could be RIM‟s last chance to stay in touch with the
competition in the smartphone wars.RIM hopes that BlackBerry 10
will shake up the smartphone world.
10

11. 1.2 FEATURES:1.Gestures:Gestures are largely integrated within the BlackBerry 10.It
featuresfour main gestures for easy navigation. . Quick swiping up
from the bottom edge of the bezel will result in users returning to
the home screen. From there, users can view and close active
applications. Users can also swipe from the top edge, to bring
down a quick setting shade on the home screen, or an option
shade on other supported apps. Also, while using any application,
the upside down J-hook (starting from the bottom of the bezel and
moving upward and right) allows users to peek at any notifications
or messages on the BlackBerry Hub. Finally, swiping left to right (or
vice versa) scroll through the available screens.
11

12. 2. Multi-tasking:Similar to BlackBerry Tablet OS, BlackBerry 10 OS also supports
multitasking with gesture integration. Swiping up from any
application brings up the running application screen, which
function as an application switcher and a task manager. Users can
switch through running applications by tapping on any of the apps
or close them by tapping on the „X‟ on the lower right of the app
itself.
3. Blackberry Hub:BlackBerry Hub acts as a notification center, with the user‟s entire
social and email accounts integrated into one app. These include,
at
launch,
standardE-mail client, Twitter, Facebook, BlackBerry
Messenger (BBM), and LinkedIn .Standard notifications like missed
calls, voicemail, and system updates also appear on the hub. Users
can perform various tasks like compose emails, send emails, and
browse social networks, without accessing other apps. Developers
are also given options to integrate apps into the Blackberry Hub.
12

13. 4. Blackberry Balance:BlackBerry Balance is a new feature introduced in BlackBerry 10,
enabling users to keep both personal data and office work data
separated in its own spaces.Users can navigate between personal
and work profiles. Any files created will stay within the profile
partition.
5. Keyboard:BlackBerry 10 features a new virtual keyboard. The keyboard also
learns the user‟s typing preferences, trying to auto-predict the next
word The keyboard also uses contextual information to predict the
next letter in a word sequence. In this case, words will appear
above the letter that the OS thinks that the user will touch next.
13

14. 6. Voice Control:Voice Control was also introduced in BB10, allowing users to send
BBMs, schedule meetings, update social networks, and open apps
using natural speech patterns. Voice control can also be used for
typing on any screen that accepts keyboard input.
14

15. 2. Architecture of Operating
system:Operating system structure mainly consists of following: GUI (Graphic User Interface).
Command processor.
Kernel.
2.1 GUI (Graphic User interface):It is provided that user didn‟t remember to complexsyntax of the
command language. Instead pointing to an option by mouse
click.
With the help of mouse click the user can do his /her jobs.
The command processor executes all this selected command and
GUI is used to release the user from the burden of remembering
commands.
Fig.Command line Interface
fig. Graphic user interface
15

16. 2.2 Command processor:It is a part which receives and executes OS commands.
Whenever a command is displayed the command processor
waits for the command, after entering a command by a user the
command processor makes sure that the command is valid or
not and then execute it or issue an error message related to that
command e.g.:- Operating systems with Graphic User
Interface(GUI).
16

17. 2.3 Kernel
In computing,
the kernel is
a computer
program that
manages input/output requests from software and translates
them into data processinginstructions for the central processing
unit and other electronic components of a computer. The kernel
is a fundamental part of a modern computer's operating system.
When a computer program (in this case called a process) makes
requests of the kernel, the request is called a system call
It is a sender module of an OS it is a part of OS which load‟s first
and remain in the main memory.
It is important for the kernel to be as small as possible by
providing all essential services requested by the other part of OS
and application.
It is responsible for memory management, process or task
management and disk management.
The basic facilities of kernel is as follows:Memory management.
Device management.
System calls.
17

18. Types of kernel are as follows :Layered
Monolithic kernel
Client-server kernel
Microkernel
Exokernel
Nano kernel
This all type of kernel handles the process in different manner
Currently most of the OS is running on MICROKERNEL type of
kernel.
Blackberry OS 10 also runs on same type of QNX based
microkernel.
MICROKERNEL: - Microkernels were developed in the 1980s as a
response to changes in the computer world, and to several
challenges adapting existing "mono-kernels" to these new
systems.
The real goal in designing a microkernel OS is not simply to "make
it small."
This architecture strike to take out of the kernel as much
functionality as possible.
18

19. This is possible by moving many OS services from kernel mode
into user mode. Thus making kernel as small as possible it is hence
it is called as micro-kernel.
It always stays in main memory and consumes less memory of
the system.
User mode consists of file system, thread system, paging, macro
scheduling, and network support.
Advantages of microkernel:Robustness: - If there is a problem with a particular service it
normally can recognize and restart without having to restart the
computer completely i.e. a services would run in completely
independent memory space and bugs misconfiguration will be
less able to corrupt at kernel level.
Security: - By running the services lower level user processes their
access to system resources is far more restricted.
Configurability: - Services can be changed without need to
restart the whole system.
Modularity: - A highly modular architecture allows protocols to
be separated from their implementations as well as maintaining
a level of independence between the various modules and
components / services of the system.
Flexibility: - Flexibility grants you with dynamic loading and
unloading of modules.
Extensibility: - It gives the developers means to extend the current
system with new protocol or schemes implementations.
19

20. 3. Process Management:Process management consists of process creation and
destruction as well as the management of process attributes such
as process IDs, process groups, user IDs, etc.
At the time of process creation OS allocate a number to the
process called as PROCESS ID.
Process can be identified by its number. If OS allows for a
maximum number of N processes then the OS reserve a memory
area to define the PCB‟s for N processes.
Various types of Scheduling algorithms are used to manage
multiple processes at a time.
They are as follow:1. FCFS
2. SJF
3. Round robin
4. Priority scheduling algorithm
Type of process
Tasks
Interactive
Command shells, text editors
and graphical applications.
Batch
Programming
language
compiler, database search
engines
and
scientific
computation.
Real-time
Video and sound application,
robot controllers.
20

21. There are various process states by which each process passes.
The various process are as follows:New:-When a process is first created, it occupies the
“created” or “new” state. In this state, the process awaits
admission to the “ready” state. This admission will be
approved or delayed by scheduler.
Ready: - A ready or waiting process has been loaded into
main memory and is awaiting execution on a CPU. There
may be many ready processes at any one point of the
system.
Run: -The process executes in this part. If the process is ready
for execution then it goes under run time part the execution
occurs.
Terminate:-if the process encounters an exit event, it
completes execution and is terminated successfully.
Termination shows that the process is ended successfully.
21

22. Process primitives
There four process primitives:
1. Spawn()
2. Fork()
3. Vfork()
4. Exec*()
1. Spawn ()
The spawn () call was introduced by POSIX.
The function creates a child process by directly specifying an
executable to load.
To those familiar with UNIX systems, the call is modeled after
a fork () followed by an exec*().
However, it operates much more efficiently in that there's no
need to duplicate address spaces as in a fork (), only to
destroy and replace it when the exec*() is called.
However, it operates much more efficiently in that there's no
need to duplicate address spaces as in a fork (), only to
destroy and replace it when the exec*() is called.
This is done in the forked child just before the exec*(). For
example, the following simple shell command would close
and reopen the standard output before exec*()'ing.
22

23. When a process is spawn ()‟Ed, the child process
inherits the following attributes of its parent:
Process group ID.
Session membership.
Real user ID and real group ID.
Supplementary group IDs.
Priority and scheduling policy.
Current working directory and root directory.
File creation mask.
Signal mask.
Signal actions specified as SIG_DFL.
Signal actions specified as SIG_IGN .
23

24. The child process has several differences from the parent
process:
Signals set to be caught by the parent process are set to the
default action.
The child process's tms_utime, tms_stime, tms_cutime,
and tms_cstime are tracked separately from the parent's.
The number of seconds left until a SIGALRM signal would be
generated is set to zero for the child process.
The set of pending signals for the child process is empty.
File locks set by the parent aren't inherited.
Per-process timers created by the parent aren't inherited.
Memory locks and mappings set by the parent aren't inherited.
If the child process is spawned on a remote node, the process
group ID and the session membership aren't set; the child
process is put into a new session and a new process group.
The child process can access the parent process's environment
by using the environ global variable (found in <unistd.h>).
24

25. 2. fork()
The fork () function creates a new child process by sharing the
same code as the calling process and duplicating the calling
process's data to give the child process an exact copy.
Most process resources are inherited.
The
following
lists
explicitly not inherited:
some
resources
that
are
Process ID.
Parent process ID.
File locks.
Pending signals and alarms.
Timers.
The fork () function is typically used for one of two
reasons:
1. To create a new instance of the current execution environment.
2. To create a new process running a different program.
Note: - That fork () should be called from a process
containing only a single thread.
25

26. 3. Exec*()
The exec*() family of functions replaces the current process with
a new process, loaded from an executable file.
Since the calling process is replaced, there can be no successful
return.
26

27. 4. Memory management:Main memory is central to the operation of computer. It is used
to store information means data as well as instructions that
means programs.
The main function of memory management is to control each
and every activities regarding main memory.
They are divided into four main category , which are given
below:It keeps track of each and every memory location whether it
is free or not.
It decides whether memory is allocated to requested job or
not.
When decision is OK then it allocates free memory to
requested process.
When job or process is finished then it de-allocates memory
from process.
27

28. Virtual memory:Virtual memory concept means separation of user logical
memory from physical memory
Dynamic linking v/s static linking:Every program requires library functions for execution, it is
combined in the object code by loader or linker or linkage editor
is called as a linking.
When it is linked at the time of compilation then it is called as
static linking or early linking or compiles time linking.
When it is linked at the time of execution then it is called as a
dynamic linking or late linking or run time linking.
This is duty of memory management to provide this facility
Swapping:Whenever program require a memory and there is no memory
spaces available then it swaps it with another memory location
these process is divided into two parts
Swap in:-in these scheme when CPU executes the process,then
some part of the process is loaded into the main memory and
remaining part is stored in the secondary memory .During
execution if CPU needs remaining part of the process from
secondary memory then memory management loads it from
secondary to main memory
Swap out:-sometime there is no main memory available so
memory management is required to make some used memory
to free. Hence it stores process of the main memory to
secondary memory.

30. 5. BUSINESS USE OF BLACKBERRY 10:Blackberry OS 10 brought a revolutionary change is mobile OS to
keep the user in touch with its business staff.
It provides a service to maintain a perfect balance between
your personal and business life.
The service is named as ”BLACKBERRY BALANCE”
By the use of this servicea user can carry its both personal and
business staff in a same device.
Personal part will consist services such as social account
(Facebook, twitter, etc.), music, video, image, calendar, BBM
(Blackberry Messenger), Blackberry world, contact, mobile
settings, browser, Google map,Bluetooth,etc.
Whereas business part will consist of services such as adobe
reader, ppt reader, calendar, etc.
Both of its data is stored in same device but in separate partition
of memory.
Personal and business data are not allowed to collide with each
other in the memory location.
User is allowed to synchronize its email account to device
through the internet by using this service. This will keep him in
touch with his/her office schedule, meetings, etc.
User can also synchronize his/her social account to this service.
30

31. Business part is protected by a personal password.
When user tries to access to the business part it first have to enter
a valid password for security purpose.
Invalid password restricts the un-authorized access to other
people.
User cannot even copy paste the content of work data to
personal data.
E.g.:- If user wants to copy some text from work space to
personal space he/she is not allowed by an OS.
An error message will be popped on his/her screen.
31

32. 6. Version history of

It avoids collusion of personal and business data.
The BlackBerry World storefront provides a vibrant interface,
streamlined purchasing process, and established payment
methods to give your customers a consistent experience for
managing their apps. The BlackBerry World vendor portal lets
you distribute, upgrade, and track your app across BlackBerry
device users around the world.
For BlackBerry 10, the BlackBerry World storefront offers a single,
unified interface for apps, games, music, and television shows
with different payment options (credit card, PayPal, and carrier
billing). It also offers these features:
Content promotion: Dedicated content channels and feature
banners that provide prime real estate to help distribute your
app to the right users.
App discovery: Universal search, top lists, social sharing, reviews,
and ratings help users find the right app.
The Games app (in combination with Score loop): A specialized
portal for gaming allowing multiplayer, social connections.
34

35. 8. Demeritsof blackberry OS 10:New operating system was introduced too late into the evergrowing market.
Yet to have as many apps available for purchase or download
compared to other phone in the market.
Consumers have switched over to other devices made by
Apple or Android.
Swipe vs. home button. Once an application is opened, you
have to swipe up to return to the main display.
Not differentiated from other software's on other devices.
Could be seen as cluttered.
Managers and employees bring the workplace home with
them
35

36. 9. Conclusion of Blackberry OS 10:Blackberry OS 10 is made by a company named as RIM
(Research in Motion).
It is recently released Operating system.
It allows multitasking.
It is a QNX based operating system.
It operates on microkernel type of kernel.
It provides a good option to keep both personal and business
data in same device.
Good security is provided to the business data.
As it is recently released it does not have much versions.
