Royalty-free RTOS eases
migration to 32bit
The MQX mini-RTOS is a new real-time operating system product specifically designed for the Freescale ColdFire MCF521x processor family
The MQX mini-RTOS, licensed on a royalty-free basis, provides a robust, proven, space-efficient platform for designers who will use the MCF521x family for entry-level 32bit projects and to transition from legacy 8 and 16bit processors. The MQX mini-RTOS for the MCF521x was demonstrated at the Freescale Technology Forum in Orlando last week and is available for immediate evaluation.
