Hey Richard,

I just finished porting FreeRTOS to the TI / Stellaris LM4F232 micro controller using Code Composer Studio 4.&nbsp; I started with the Ti Stellaris Cortex-M3 port and made updates so it runs on TI’s veal kit for the lm4f and also added UART support with a small command line.

If you (or anyone else) are interested, I could post the port under the TI section of the contributed ports.&nbsp; Would I need a different login to post that or does it use the same username / password as the forum?

Ken

Yes - please do post it.

If you copied the M3 port exactly then the code will run on an M4 provided the FPU is not used.&nbsp; If you want to use (or even just enable) the FPU then there are several Cortex-M4F ports that are available as a reference for your CCS port too.

Unfortunately the passwords are all a bit discombobulated as these sites are hosted in different places.&nbsp; The forum password logs you onto SourceForge, whereas the Interactive forums are hosted somewhere completely different.&nbsp; I believe you can log on using OpenID or Twitter credentials on both sites.

Thanks for your (imminent) contribution.

Regards.

Hi Richard,

I had to make some mods to the TI CCS4 Cortex-M4F port after a little more testing of the floating-point context.&nbsp; Looks like it is all working properly now.&nbsp; I am unsure where / how to post the port.&nbsp; Seems like the TI section of the “FreeRTOS Ports” web page should be updated, but I’m not sure I have access to this.&nbsp; Suggestions?&nbsp; Should I just email you the port?

If you go to the [http://interactive.freertos.org](http://interactive.freertos.org) site, in the right hand corner there is a sign up link.&nbsp; That takes you to [http://interactive.freertos.org/registration.](http://interactive.freertos.org/registration.)&nbsp; Once registered you can create a forum post, to which you can attach the code.

If you prefer you can send the code to me an I will post it up (although it would be better if you could do it yourself).&nbsp; If you opt to send it to me then please also include some text that I can post along with the code, explaining what the code is, the tools needed to open the project, and what the code does.

Thanks for your contribution.

Hi Richard,

Okay, I created an account to upload the port and will get it in tomorrow.&nbsp; Are there any restrictions in the license agreement about taking credit for the port to the new platform?

Thanks,  
Ken
