The QP/C and QP/C++ frameworks can also work with a traditional OS/RTOS to take advantage of device drivers, communication stacks, and other existing code.

The QP™ frameworks are described in the book Practical UML Statecharts in C/C++, 2nd Edition (PSiCC2), are supported through free discussion forum, QP Development Kits (QDKs), application notes, online resources, commercial technical support, on-demand training, newsletter, and blog.

Quantum Leaps, LLC provides lightweight, open source state machine frameworks and graphical modeling tools for real-time embedded systems.
We bring quantum leaps of innovation to embedded systems by making software and tools that enable widespread adoption of event-driven programming, hierarchical state machines (UML statecharts), modeling, and agile framework-based application development.

...After trying out a couple of CASE tools we came to the conclusion that expensive round-trip-engineering UML tools were cumbersome and did not fit our way of working. However, the innovative QP way to map UML state machines to C/C++ code was exactly what we were looking for..."

I'm speaking from first-hand experience when I say this is really good stuff. I just hope others will recognize that and we can get past the old main+ISR vs. RTOS dilemma for a large variety of applications."
Michael Barr, President Netrino and former editor-in-chief of the ESP magazine
Practical Statecharts in C/C++ has been an indispensible reference for my embedded systems work. The clear and succinct conceptual and software framework, along with the immediately usable code enabled us to get a working prototype of our control system in a few weeks."

We're glad to keep giving Quantum Leaps our business. QP has been really valuable for us—we've had a great experience working with Quantum Leaps frameworks and tools. It's been a big help in terms of delivering high-quality software within our clients' budgets, so thank you!"
Jason Machacek, Software Engineer, Stratos Product Development LLC, Seattle WA
I used the traditional RTOS approach for about 10 years. With the real-time debug log of QSPY and the ability to see what is going on in the logic flow, the code is very easy to debug and modify. It makes the code very modular and deterministic... You end up talking about the codes logic flow, and not the semantics of the software. QP is a great product."
Paul Walker, Software Engineer, EIM Controls, Inc.
I recently rewrote a major piece of code to utilise the QP framework and it has worked wonders. My previous code used a more traditional state machine and had quickly evolved into spaghetti code. The hierarchical state machine approach made the new code smaller, more robust, and much easier to maintain and extend."
Bob Bradley, Apple Computer, Inc., from Amazon.com review
Quantum Leaps software has revolutionized not just the way we write our software, but the way we approach our design. It is intuitive, easy to implement and comes in an incredibly small package. If you're in the 8-bit world, you need this software!"
