FreeRTOS+ is not really a different product is it? Am I right that FreeRTOS+ is libraries that I can drop into my project to add functionality?
I am starting a brand new project and will need TCPIP and may want HTTP Server functionality. If I understand, I can just buy those libraries and drop them in and go…
Is that correct?
FreeRTOS+ is a showcase of add on or complementary products that are designed to work with or can be used with FreeRTOS. Within the list of showcased products there are also a few which we develop ourselves which are actually called “FreeRTOS+”. For example, the training is a service which is available for FreeRTOS users, whereas FreeRTOS+UDP is a product which is provided by us directly. So in summary, it is not just a product, and the products and services shown in the showcase are provided by a variety of people.
As you mention TCP in particular, currently there are low cost pre-built libraries for a selection of targets. These are included in the FreeRTOS+ showcase for a couple of reasons:
As a low cost but high quality product it is worth bringing them to the attention of FreeRTOS users.
They are actually built with and run on top of FreeRTOS.
