Vendors streamlines embedded design with complimentary real-time operating system and software stacks
The increasing complexity of industrial applications and expanding functionality of semiconductors are driving embedded developers toward solutions that combine proven hardware and software platforms. To help accelerate time-to-market and improve application development success, semiconductor vendors are offering the real-time operating system (RTOS) with TCP/IP and USB software stacks to microcontroller (MCU) customers at no additional charge.
Reducing cost, accelerating success
By providing complimentary software with its silicon products, semiconductor vendors are helping alleviate much of the initial software investment hurdle faced by embedded developers. Comparable full-featured software offerings on the market today may cost developers as much as $95,000 (USD) in licensing fees.
Freescale silicon ships with full production Freescale MQX source code, including communications software stacks at no additional cost. Freescale is able to provide customers a commercial-friendly software licensing model, enabling developers to keep their source modifications while being able to distribute the required binary code.
Full-featured, proven and scalable
The Freescale MQX RTOS offers leading-edge software technology for embedded designs based on Freescale processors and MCUs. Freescale MQX software offers an application programming interface (API) with a modular, component-based architecture that makes it simple to fine-tune custom applications. It also allows developers to add Web servers, e-mail, network management, security and routing to their designs. Components are linked in only if needed, preventing unused functions from bloating the memory footprint. With its straightforward API, the Freescale MQX RTOS solution easily scales across Freescale's growing alliance network of software and tools, such as security, industrial protocols and graphical plug-ins.
Unlike general-purpose operating systems designed for desktop systems, embedded RTOS is designed for speed and size efficiency in embedded systems. This software offers powerful, preemptive real-time performance with optimized context switch and interrupt times, enabling fast, highly predictable response times. Its small, configurable size conserves memory space for embedded applications, and it can be configured to take as little as 6 KB of ROM, including kernel, interrupts, semaphores, queues and memory manager.
RTOS features
RTOS with full priority-based, preemptive scheduler
Real-time TCP/IP communication suite (RTCS) with TCP/IP, FTP, Telnet, DHCP, SNMP and more
USB host and device stacks (HID, MASS, HUB)
MS-DOS file system (MFS )
Board support package (BSP) I/O driver supporting CAN, UART and more
HTTP Web server support
