My application is fairly small, doesn´t use communication protocols, and doesn´t really need an RTOS. What advantages are there to using it?
Even if your application can run in a single task, Freescale MQX RTOS can accelerate your development since it comes complete with a full set of drivers, an efficient interrupt handler, pre-built projects and includes the Task-Aware Debugging plug-in for CodeWarrior™ and IAR Development Tools. The RTOS contains 25 components (core services and as-needed services) that are linked in only if needed, preventing unused functions from bloating the memory footprint. A common API allows you to port and reuse code regardless of which Freescale CPU you move to in the future.
