Introduction

MQX Lite is a version of the MQX™ Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) kernel targeted specifically for Microcontrollers (MCUs) either with limited RAM or limited FLASH memory size. Because this product is not a standalone package, such as the MQX RTOS, it is integrated into the Processor Expert (PEx) technology as a PEx component.

This document describes main features, integration into the PEx technology, and how to use MQX Lite to create custom applications.

Supplement this document with:

• Freescale MQX™ Lite RTOS Reference Manual - contains alphabetically-ordered listings of MQX Lite function prototypes and MQX Lite data types. This document is part of the PEx installation.
• Freescale MQX™ Real-Time Operating System User's Guide - contains detailed description of MQX components that are also used in the MQX Lite version. This document is part of the standard MQX RTOS installation.

This chapter gives an Overview of MQX Lite and describes MQX Lite Components.
