2. Click Download
3. Log in with your Freescale.com account (or create a new account).
4. Under MQX Enablement Software, click MQX RTOS v4.2 releases and patches
5. You need to have MQX RTOS v4.2 installed before you install the 1588 patch. If you already have MQX v4.2, then skip this step. If you do not have MQX 4.2, then download and install. Choose the correct file for your operating system (Windows or Linux supported).
6. Download and install the 1588 patch for your operating system (Windows or Linux supported).
7. On Windows, run the installer executable. The installer extracts the files to the base installation of MQX 4.2 (typically C:\Freescale\Freescale_MQX_4_2\ on Windows systems). For Linux, extract the file contents over the MQX RTOS v4.2 base installation.
8. The 1588 build files, examples, and source code can be found at C:\Freescale\Freescale_MQX_4_2\mqx1588\
