Salve a tutti. Vorrei imparare a lavorare con FreeRTOS. Ho scaricato il pacchetto “FreeRTOSv202411.00” ma non so come utilizzarlo. Ho visto che ci sono diverse demo nel pacchetto “FreeRTOSv202411.00”. L’intenzione è utilizzare FreeRTOS con un microcontrollore ESP32 o STM32 ma per il momento vorrei esercitarmi utilizzando Eclipse IDE o Visual C++. 695 / 5.000 Hello everyone. I’d like to learn how to work with _FreeRTOS_. I downloaded the _FreeRTOSv202411.00_ package but I don’t know how to use it. I saw that there are several demos in the _FreeRTOSv202411.00_ package. My intention is to use _FreeRTOS_ with an ESP32 or STM32 microcontroller, but for now I’d like to practice using _Eclipse IDE_ or _Visual C++_. I tried using the _WIN32-MingW_ demo in _Eclipse IDE_, located at _FreeRTOSv202411.00\FreeRTOS\Demo\WIN32-MingW_, but I can’t configure the project and I get compilation errors. I haven’t tried _Visual C++_. Could someone tell me how to get started and understand the world of _FreeRTOS_? Many Thanks. Regards ---
