What is MQX?

MQX is a real-time operating system (RTOS) designed for embedded systems. It provides a kernel with services like task management, inter-process communication, memory management, and interrupt handling. It's commonly used in applications where deterministic timing and responsiveness are critical, such as industrial control, medical devices, and automotive systems. The name MQX has been acquired by NXP and is now marketed as NXP MQX RTOS.
