Downloading & Installing QP/C

Getting StartedQP/C Tutorial

Downloading QP/C in QP™-Bundle

The most recommended way of obtaining QP/C ™ is by downloading the QP-bundle™↑ , which includes QP/C as well as other QP™ frameworks and also the QM™ modeling tool↑ and the QTools™ collection↑ . The main advantage of obtaining QP/C bundled together like that is that you get all components, tools and examples ready to go.

Note

If you are allergic to installers and GUIs or don't have administrator privileges you can also download and install QP/C separately from the QP/C GitHub repository↑ , as described in the next section.

Downloading QP/C from GitHub

Go to the QP/C release page on GitHub↑ , and choose the QP/C version number you wish to download. You should select the latest QP/C version, unless you have a very specific reason to go with an older release.

QP/C downloads from GitHub

[1] QP/C framework ZIP archive (contains HTML documentation and 3rd-party code for the examples)

[2] QP/C framework CMSIS-Pack (see the next section)

Downloading QP/C as a CMSIS-Pack

The QP/C framework is available as a CMSIS-Pack↑ , which you can obtain either in the KEIL Pack Installer↑ or directly from the QP/C release directory on GitHub (see previous section).

QP/C Installation Folder

The following annotated directory tree lists the top-level directories provided in the standard QP/C distribution.

• qpc /
  • 3rd_party/ — 3rd-Party code used in the QP/C Examples
  • examples/ — QP/C Examples
  • ports/ — QP/C Ports
  • /qp-dev/qpc /include "include/" — Platform-independent QP/C API, see also API Reference
  • /qp-dev/qpc /src "src/" — Platform-independent QP/C source code

Attention

The QP/C GitHub repository does not contain the 3rd_party folder, which is needed to build the QP/C Examples. Therefore, it is highly recommended to download the latest QP/C Release↑ as opposed to cloning the repo directly.

Remarks

The standard QP/C distribution contains the examples folder with many Example Projects, which are specifically designed to help you learn to use QP/C and to serve you as starting points for your own projects.
