Abstract

FreeRTOS is a real-time operating system for embedded systems. It has been widely ported to many architecture platforms due to its compact size and being distributed under free open source licensing. This application report will demonstrate how to use the FreeRTOS kernel on the Texas Instruments TM4C family of Arm® Cortex®-M4F microcontrollers. Example projects are provided to demonstrate how to use fundamental FreeRTOS features and how to build basic real-world applications for TM4C's peripherals.

The source code for all example projects discussed in this application report can be downloaded from the following link http://www.ti.com/lit/zip/spma085.
