Hi
I was trying to download MQX RTOS but there are only two options one is user guide and the other one is buy. So is it free??

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @omkardixit
Short answer is no, it's not free - you can fee information here: MQX-V5: Buy
I've worked with it quite a bit and don't see the advantage of MQX over FreeRTOS, unless you don't have in house software skills and are going to pay a consultant to create your application for you.

Hi
First I was trying using FreeRTOS but I was struggling to do so. Do you have any example codes available for the same?

Hi @omkardixit ,
What is your level of understanding Reat Time Operating Systems? If you have a good understanding of them, FreeRTOS (or MQX or whatever) shouldn't be too difficult to pick up.
If you are a beginner to MCU RTOS's, might I suggest this presentation: Everything You Need to Know about RTOSs in 30 Minutes followed by this book: A practical introduction to real-time systems for undergraduate engineering The book is quite long but very complete.
If you are familiar with MCU RTOS's and are looking for FreeRTOS examples, I would suggest:
Let me know if this is helpful.
I've shared my generic Kinetis FreeRTOS LED_task code in this post - a three byte string is sent to set a specific LED to a specific state (on, off or flash) and it can be read back. It gets a bit complex to understand as if I am sending a message from a task, I reply but if the message comes from an ISR, I don't reply (I don't want an ISR waiting around for the RTOS ). Let me know if that makes sense to you.
