Engineering Hour: Configure and use FreeRTOS API with Cortex-M MCU

September 29 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

The last few Engineering Hour sessions introduced us to the CMSIS RTOS, an API that handles interfacing with other RTOS. In this week’s Engineering Hour, we take the proverbial top off and dive into the inner workings of perhaps the most popular RTOS on the market today: FreeRTOS.

FreeRTOS is everything its name implies, providing a feature-light and functional path to task management and precision timing in an open source package. However, developing on FreeRTOS can be full of traps if you don’t start out with the right foundations.

Join us as IoT professional Umesh Lokhande shows us how to:

* Configure FreeRTOS kernel
* Create and delete tasks
* Use popular APIs like vTaskDelayUntil and xTaskGetTickCount

Afterwards, we’ll apply these learnings in a live example project to make sure the concepts stick.

Join us on Sunday, September 29th at 15:00 UTC to get started with FreeRTOS.
