General MQX questions

[belenieamoranto]

Hello,

I have the following questions:

1. For MQX- can I get the TCPIP source code?
2. Does it support SMTP and SSL? 
3. Is the paid MQX support manned by MQX experts and what would the response time be?

Thanks,

Belenie

Hello Belenie Amoranto,

1. Yes, MQX RTOS includes a TCP/IP stack (RTCS),embedded MS-DOS file system (MFS), USB host/device stackwith personal health care device class (PHDC), as well as task-aware debugging.

The Real-Time TCP/IP Communication Suite (RTCS) provides IP networking for embedded devices. Freescale MQX RTCS provides a rich assortment of TCP/IP networking application protocols and uses the Freescale MQX RTOS drivers for Ethernet and serial connectivity. RTCS is tightly integrated with the Freescale MQX RTOS and the Freescale MQX File System (MFS). RTCS is implemented in ANSI C, and full source code is provided. It is completely re-entrant and is responsive to the demands of real-time systems.

For more information about the stack please check the below link:

2. There is a demo for sending an email from MQX to a mail server via SMTP. c:\Freescale\Freescale_MQX_4_x\demo\security_email\

Unfortunately there is no example in the MQX by default to implement a mail server. There exists E-Mail Communications package available as an Add-on Software for Freescale

MQX from our 3rd party partner Embedded Access:

(under Real-Time TCP/IP Communication Suite) They offer MQX POP3 toolkit, so it can receive text email messages from any POP3 server. This might be also the solution - webmail service providers like Gmail or Yahoo! Mail provide POP3 service, so the

MQX would be running an email client and receive email messages using POP3.

3. Yes, you  have the option to purchase Level 2 MQX support, either Standard or Premium, please check the below link for more information:

I hope this helps, have a great day,
