<<float side=right>> [[http://www.state-machine.com/qp | {{http://www.state-machine.com/attachments/logo_qp_books.jpg|QP framework|200}}]] **QP logo and books about QP** <</float>> The [[/users/QL/libraries/qp/latest|QP state machine framework]] for //mbed// has been recently published to the //mbed// codebase (see also [[/users/QL/notebook/qp-state-machine-framework-for-mbed|QL Notebook page]]). The QP framework very nicely complements the //mbed// platform and provides everything you need to build well-structured, responsive, robust, and power-efficient ARM Cortex programs based on modern hierarchical state machines (UML statecharts). In many ways the open source QP state machine framework is like a modern real-time operating system (**RTOS**) specifically designed for executing event-driven state machines. In fact, the QP framework for mbed contains a fully **preemptive** priority-based kernel for ARM Cortex, which can execute high-priority tasks deterministically and independently on low-priority tasks. The QP framework (deployed as the [[/users/QL/libraries/qp/latest|qp library]]) comes with several examples that demonstrate how to use the framework on mbed. One example ([[/users/QL/notebook/graphical-modeling-and-automatic-code-generation-q/|qm_pelican]]) provides also an example model for the free QM graphical modeling tool. QM takes //mbed// programming to the next level, by eabling **automiatic code generation** of complete //mbed// programs. The documentation posted on [[/users/QL/notebook|QL Notebook pages]] plus many references Application Notes describe the main concepts and how to get started with QP on //mbed//. Enjoy!

The [[/users/QL/libraries/qp/latest|QP state machine framework]] for //mbed// as well as the accompanying examples have been updated for the latest QP **4.2.04** and the QM modeling tool version **2.0.00**. Enjoy!

The [[users/QL/notebook/qp-active-object-framework-for-mbed/|QP framework]] for //mbed// as well as the accompanying [[users/QL/notebook/building-applications-with-qp-qp_dpp-example/|examples]] have been updated for the latest QP **4.5.02** and the QM modeling tool version **2.2.02**. Enjoy!
