Introduction

FreeRTOS is an excellent embedded real-time operating system for microcontrollers. Being light-weighted, distributed freely under MIT open-source License, and built with an emphasis on portability, tailorability, and flexible scheduling policy, it requires low RAM/ROM consumption and supports management of task, time, semaphore, message queue, and memory.

This document introduces the FreeRTOS porting example in the GR55xx SDK, including usage of the example and descriptions of major source code.

Before using and modifying a FreeRTOS example, you can refer to the following documents and information.
