How to Install

The following steps demonstrate how to download the latest version of TivaWare and FreeRTOS:

  1. Download the latest TivaWare SDK from here and follow the installer instructions. If using the default installation path, the TivaWare SDK will be installed at C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series-2.2.0.295. For the TivaWare directory structure, see Figure 2-1 (and notice there is already a third_party/FreeRTOS directory). The existing FreeRTOS installation in the TivaWare library is version 8.2.3. This needs to be updated to the latest version.

  2. Download the latest version of FreeRTOS from the official download source here. At the time of the publishing of this application report, the latest version of FreeRTOS is Version 202112.00, as shown in Figure 2-2. All examples provided with this application report have been created and validated using that version.
