Hands-on-FreeRTOS

Repository contains multiple small projects created while learning various features of FreeRTOS. The board used for the projects are STM32F407x DISCOVERY but projects can be configured/ported for any hardware.

Projects are based on various RTOS concepts like:

• FreeRTOS Task Creation, Deletion, Scheduling
• FreeRTOS Stack and Heap Management
• Queue management like creation, sending, receiving, blocking, etc
• Binary/Counting semaphores
• Synchronizing between tasks using Semaphores
• Synchronization between multiple events and a task using counting semaphores
• Mutual exclusion between Tasks using Mutex services and semaphores
• Synchronizing between a task and an interrupt using semaphores
• FreeRTOS Idle Hook power saving
• FreeRTOS task Notify

Some projects also includes SEGGER SystemView traces which are very useful in understanding the internal working of a RTOS by visually showing timing informations, context switching, scheduler, SysTick, tasks and other informations.
