The Freescale MQX Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) provides real-time performance within a small, configurable footprint. This RTOS is designed to allow you to configure and balance code size with performance requirements. The easy-to-use API and out-of-box experience ensures first-time RTOS users can start developing their application on the day software is installed. 

For experienced OS developers, it is easy to migrate legacy application code to a Freescale MQX-based platform. The RTOS is tightly integrated with the latest ColdFire® processors from Freescale and provided with commonly used device drivers. The powerful Design and Development Tools are integrated with CodeWarrior™ tools to provide additional profiling and debugging capability. 

The Freescale MQX RTOS is designed to have a modern, component-based microkernel architecture allowing for customization by feature, size, and speed by selecting the components engineers wish to include while meeting the tight memory constraints of embedded systems.
