This section describes the steps required to configure KDS to build, run, and debug MQX™ RTOS demo applications and necessary driver libraries provided in the KSDK framework.

There are 3 libraries required to build for any new MQX project creation and execution:

Platform Library for MQX, MQX Library, MQX Standard Library.

Before building and debugging any demo applications, all libraries must be built.

To build the library for a device, follow these instructions:

1) Platform Library for MQX, ‘libksdk_platform_mqx.a’

We need to build a MQX platform library before we proceed.

Right click on project explorer and select import as shown below:

Select existing project into workspace as shown below

Next browse to the installed KSDK folder as shown below:

The folder path in my case is “C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.1.0\lib\ksdk_mqx_lib\kds\K64F12”

Proceed further by clicking finish

Now select the project from project explorer and build the library as shown below:

You can see the project build progress as shown below:

You can see the generated library file “libksdk_platform_mqx.a” under console window as shown below:

The path it is generated is “C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.1.0\lib\ksdk_mqx_lib\kds\K64F12\Debug”

Note: remember this path which has to be provided for any new MQX project creation.

2) MQX Library, ‘lib_mqx.a’

Follow the similar steps as above the path while importing for lib_mqx is

“C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.1.0\rtos\mqx\mqx\build\kds\mqx_frdmk64f”

Build the project “mqx_frdmk64f”

The library generated file is “lib_mqx.a” which is stored in path

“C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.1.0\rtos\mqx\lib\frdmk64f.kds\debug\mqx”

3) MQX Standard Library, ‘lib_mqx_stdlib.a’

Similarly import “mqx_stdlib_frdmk64f” project from the folder

“C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.1.0\rtos\mqx\mqx_stdlib\build\kds\mqx_stdlib_frdmk64f”

And build it as shown below:

you will find the generated library “lib_mqx_stdlib.a” stored at location

"C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.1.0\rtos\mqx\lib\frdmk64f.kds\debug\mqx_stdlib"

Note: remember these paths to be included at the time of any new MQX project building and execution.

NOTE: For information about building KSDK and MQX libraries in KDS please see chapter ‘3 Building the MQX RTOS libraries’ of ‘Getting Started with Freescale MQX™ RTOS for Kinetis SDK and Kinetis Design Studio IDE’ located in MQX for KSDK installation path C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.1.0\rtos\mqx\doc\tools
