    Memory and CPU usage can be seen using different QNX utilities which are available as part of astandard QNX SDP installation.  The QNX utilities are documented online at qnx.com

    The QNX "top" utility can be used to show CPU usage.

    The QNX "pidin" utility can be used to show different view of memory

    The "pidin in" option will show overall system usage

Processor2: 1092604032 Cortex-A72 2000MHz FPU

    The "pidin mem"  will show memory used by all processes.  Use "pidin -P <process name> mem", to look at memory usage by a specific process
