I’m trying to build a V10 demo project. Files from the “common” folder are looking for file freertos.h. I can’t find one, but there is a file freertosconfig.h which appears to have the same content. So was this file renamed?

Not in a hundred years 🙂

The location is :

```
amazon-freertos/lib/include/FreeRTOS.h

```

It is part of the kernel, you should not change it. It will need something like  
`-I amazon-freertos/lib/include`

`FreeRTOSConfig.h` is entirely yours: you can configure the properties and behaviour of the kernel in that file.

Make sure that the `-I` compiler option for all modules point to the **same instance** of `FreeRTOSConfig.h`. Otherwise you can get problems that are difficult to understand.
