Hello All (Richard),
I just accessed the Amazon FreeRTOS interface under AWS on Amazon.
I was wondering - under Create New -> Hardware Platform - is there a way to add a microcontroller family to this vs. an IoT module - but maybe this is IoT module only now (and currently sparse).
Just want to know is there a demarcation of FreeRTOS v10.x (here) and FreeRTOS v10.x (Amazon IoT)?
I suspect kernel files and existing (and future microcontroller) ports will still originate here? Does Amazon plan on ‘forking’ the ‘master/base’ - or will all kernel files still be 100% here? I suppose some of us can fear the dreaded feature creep that seems inevitable. (Ha - tongue in cheek of course, hopefully.)
Good idea for the IoT stuff; but as long as the ‘bare metal’ stuff can be accessed here (or via SVN/git) - guess that’s OK.
But, this is progress and all-in-all a good thing - so congrats are in order also!
Thanks,
John W.
