Hi All  
I’m new to RTOS and would like to us this with my next project.  
I have a very good back ground on the PIC32, Just completed a project with  
1) 5 UARTS  
2) Ethernet (external phy)  
3) SPI  
4) I2C  
6) extra 32 IO’s on the PIC 32 795 512L&nbsp; ( had to little)  
etc. all on the same board.  
600K lines of code.

Where do I start with freertos?

If you want to play with existing projects then you can download the [PIC32 demos](http://www.freertos.org/port_PIC32_MIPS_MK4.html).

If you want to learn how to use an RTOS you can learn a&nbsp; lot from the [FreeRTOS PIC32 book](http://shop.freertos.org/FreeRTOS_Tutorial_Book_Microchip_PIC32_Edition_p/pdf_pic32_tutorial_book.htm).
