KDS, KSDK and MQX-RTOS: Free to use?

[vishalgirisagar]

Hi All,

I am new to FreeScale. Are the below mentioned software and OS free to use? Also can I use these to come up with my own product? Please throw some light.

1. Kinetis Design Studio

2. Kinets Software Development Kit

3. MQX-RTOS

Also which is the better IDE to use? KDS or COdeWarrior? Is COdeWarrior free to use??

Hi Vishal,

KDS, KSDK, MQX are free to use.

Codewarrior is not free.

if you use Kinetis only , I recommend you use KDS, it's free. all the new Kinetis products are supported in KDS. while CW will not support new chips.

does this answer your question?

Have a great day,
Zhang Jun

Hi Zhang,

  Yes that answers part of the complete question. thank you for your reply. How about The RTOS? MQX? is it free? Can I use it in the consumer product free of cost?
