Appendix C: Creating FreeRTOS Projects, and Installing FreeRTOS
To create your own FreeRTOS-based system, a typical way to start is with an IDE-project with FreeRTOS installed. (We’ll refer to such an IDE-project as a FreeRTOS-project.) Also, in reading this book, the best way to learn the material is to augment study with hands-on experiments and development, and that also requires a FreeRTOS-project.
This appendix shows several techniques for creating a FreeRTOS-project. The techniques are presented in order of difficulty, starting with the least difficult.
The following topics are presented:
- Creating IDE-projects for use in learning FreeRTOS
- Copying and renaming projects (cloning)
- Installing FreeRTOS and SystemView
Several of the techniques for creating FreeRTOS-projects were introduced in chapter 6, in the section Installing and configuring FreeRTOS.
This appendix assumes you are familiar with the basics of FreeRTOS, as presented...
