Hello everyone.  
I’m new to FreeRTOS and I would use the bus can of the board stm32f429i-discovery. I use Eclipse + GCC. I wanted to ask the forum if there was any example as a starting point for development.  
I did not understand whether to use FreeRTOS + IO directly or drivers available from [st.com](http://st.com).

Thank you and good day.

The +IO product does not (officially) include CAN (although I seem to recall an unofficial version somewhere), and is not ported to that part in any case - so I would recommend just sticking with the ST drivers directly.

Regards.
