i.MX6SoloX running MQX in the Cortex-A9 core?

[ScottKerstein]

Hello,

On the MQX product page Freescale MQX™ Software Solutions|Freescale, there is a reference to MQX supporting i.MX Cortex-A9 cores.  The i.MX link is broken in the Overview box. 

For a complete list of supported devices, see the MQX RTOS Fact Sheet

Unfortunately, the fact sheet doesn't reference supporting i.MX Cortex-A9 cores, even though the "Supported Devices" drop-down shows it is.

Can MQX run in the Cortex-A9 core of the SoloX?  I understand that it will run in the Cortex-M4 core.  Is this a misprint?

Thanks, in advance!

Scott

Thanks, Igor.  I should have checked the release notes, first.

Good day Scott,

It is (or was) my understanding that MQX is supported within the iMX family... however, if one wanted to use MQX on the i.MX family that one would have to purchase a license from the MQX vendor.  In other words the "free" MQX Freescale license is only for the Coldfire and Kinetis Families... at least it was when I inquired about MQX for the iMX a few years ago.

Cheers,

Sam
