Tactility/libs/freertos-kernel/portable/ThirdParty/GCC/RP2040

Overview

This directory provides a FreeRTOS-Kernel port that can be used with the Raspberry Pi Pico SDK. It supports:

• Simple CMake INTERFACE libraries, to provide the FreeRTOS-Kernel and also the individual allocator types, without copying code into the user's project.
• Running the FreeRTOS-Kernel and tasks on either core 0 or core 1
• Use of SDK synchronization primitives (such as mutexes, semaphores, queues from pico_sync) between FreeRTOS tasks and code executing on the other core, or in IRQ handlers.

Note that a FreeRTOS SMP version of this port is also available in the FreeRTOS-Kernel smp branch, which additionally supports utilizing both RP2040 CPU cores for FreeRTOS tasks simultaneously.

Using this port

Copy FreeRTOS-Kernel-import.cmake into your project, and add:

import(FreeRTOS_Kernel_import.cmake)

below the usual import of pico_sdk_import.cmake

This will find the FreeRTOS kernel if it is a direct sub-module of your project, or if you provide the FREERTOS_KERNEL_PATH variable in your environment or via -DFREERTOS_KERNEL_PATH=/path/to/FreeRTOS-Kernel on the CMake command line.

Advanced Configuration

Some additional config options are defined here which control some low level implementation details.

Known Limitations

• Tickless idle has not currently been tested, and is likely non-functional
