To help accelerate time to market and improve the application development success, NXP is offering the NXP MQX real-time operating system (RTOS) with TCP/IP and USB software stacks to ColdFire® microcontroller (MCU) customers at no additional charge. The combination of NXP MQX RTOS and silicon portfolio creates a comprehensive source for hardware, software, tools, and services. NXP MQX RTOS task-aware debugging features plug into either the CodeWarrior or IAR debugger, creating a powerful embedded debugging environment, helping to speed development, reduce cost, and improve finished product quality. By providing complimentary NXP MQX software with its silicon products, NXP is helping alleviate much of the initial software investment hurdle faced by embedded developers.
