NXP MQX™ Lite Real-Time Operating System (RTOS)
MQX™ Lite RTOS is a very light MQX™ kernel for resource-limited MCUs. Initially developed for the Kinetis® L series family, it allows applications to run with less than 4 KB RAM. It is a true subset of the proven and professionally developed MQX™ Software Solutions, allowing for easy upward code migration. It is easily configurable within Processor Expert® Software to be used with the tool chain of your choice. You can also take advantage of all the drivers supported in Processor Expert Software, making it easy to scale from one MCU to another.
MQX Lite is packaged as a component for Processor Expert®, which is no longer being actively developed. Please consider using the Kinetis Software Development Kit which includes support for the latest Kinetis devices.
