QP Real-Time Event Frameworks & Tools Files

What is it?
===========
QDKs are "QP Development Kits", which are separate QP ports and examples
for various embedded processors, toolsets, and boards.

Why "Legacy"?
=============
Starting with QP release 5.4.0, all officially supported ports and
examples are bundled into the QP downloads, as opposed to being
distributed as separate QP Development Kits (QDKs). The QDKs released
for earlier QP versions are called "legacy-QDKs" and are available for
download in this folder.

***
The "legacy-QDKs" are made available for download, but they are not
recommended for new projects. The "legacy-QDKs" do not come with
commercial support from Quantum Leaps, although questions about
"legacy-QDKs" are welcome on the Free QP Support Forum
(https://sourceforge.net/p/qpc/discussion/668726/).

How to Find What You Want?
==============================
All "legacy QDKs" are distributed in ZIP archives named according to the
following general convention:

qdkxxx_<cpu/rtos>-<toolset>-<board>_<version>.zip

qdkxxx denotes the QP framework type, whereas qdkc stands for QDK for
QP/C, qdkcpp for QP/C++, and qdkn for QP-nano

<cpu> denotes a QDK for standalone QP for the given embedded CPU type,
such as AVR, M16C, R8C, etc.

<rtos> denotes a QDK for QP running on top of a given RTOS, such as
eCos, VxWorks, etc.

<toolset> denotes a port to specific toolset, such a IAR, GNU, Renesas, etc.

<board> denotes that the examples are for the specified boars, such as
SKP3607, YRDKRX62N, etc.

<version> denotes the compatible version of the QP framework.

***
NOTE: All QDKs have been developed and tested with the specified
<version> of the QP framework. A QDK might work with the newer QP
version as well, but might require some modifications.

Installation
============
The installation procedure for most "legacy QDKs" is as follows:

1. Download the QDK that you like and check its <version> number.

2. Download and install (unzip) the corresponding QP <version>. For
example, if your QDK file starts with "qdkcpp_" and ends with "_4.5.02",
you should download and install QP/C++ version 4.5.02.

3. Unzip the QDK to a temporary directory.

4. Copy the contents of the QDK directory to the QP installation
directory. For example, if your QDK unzipped into directory
"qdkcpp_avr-iar_4.5.02", you should copy the *content* of this directory
inside the QP/C++ installation folder (typically, inside C:\qp\qpcpp\).
Note that you will need to give your consent to overwrite the already
existing directories "examples" and "ports".

Documentation
=============
Every "legacy QDK" contains the "QDK Manual" in PDF in the main
directory of the ZIP archive.
