it’s necessary for you to use this .h file.

#include “FreeRTOS.h”

In reply to Mike Roberts. You are right. But I haven't tried to port it. But there will be more on that topic soon.

In reply to Mike Roberts. I figured it out. FreeRTOS 9.0.0 is included in PDL 3.0 and up.

I am just starting to get FreeRTOS running on the PSoC6. The latest version is FreeRTOS 10.0.0. I have FreeRTOS 9.0.0 and FreeRTOS 10.0.0 downloaded and unzipped. In the Build Settings, only 9.0.0 is available. How do I target 10.0.0? Is 9.0.0 built into Creator 4.2?

I am getting an engineer new to PSoC6 with FreeRTOS running. Will he need to download 9.0.0 or 10.0.0?

Yes. There was a chance in PSoC Creator… you got it right.

I am fixing to post a bunch of new content this week… so look out

I just finished working through the Hello World FreeRTOS version using Creator 4.2.0.393. I couldn’t get the code to compile without adding a couple of FreeRTOS headers to main_cm4.c

#include “project.h” <– default
#include "FreeRTOS.h" <– added
#include "task.h" <– added

I don't know if I messed up or perhaps there is a change in this version of the Creator. I downloaded it today, 10/30/17

I look forward to following along with the robotic arm. It should be fun!

PSoC 6 working following your blog. Tried it over the weekend, and bring up was a breeze.
Now on to porting my P4 design to it. Thanks Alan

Yes that is correct…

P6 is a seriously remarkable chip.

Hi,
Just saw on the image where you enable FreeRTOS that the version is 9.0.0, this version (i think) is the first one with the capability of development with static memory allocation [1], with this the memory management scheme (heap_4 in the example) is no longer required.
Generation of projects using FreeRTOS with static memory allocation is supported by Creator 4.1?

Thanks in advance and sorry for so many questions, can not wait longer to play with P6 🙂

Hello alan,
Can you introduce something about tickless FreeRTOS Implementation.Because power consumption in the BLE application is very important.
