Maybe yes, or maybe no ;o) I’m afraid we would need a lot of
information to be able to even begin to decide. I think the main
question would be about how the existing scheduler was using the
hardware, and if its use of the hardware would conflict with FreeRTOS’s
use of the scheduler. It might even be that FreeRTOS is the master and
then you use your scheduler in one of the tasks (depending on what type
of scheduler it is, fully pre-emptive or just a run to completion set of
libraries, or something in between).
Existing schedular will be using completely seperate resources than that of FreeRTOS.
But some of the applications running on this schedular will have control over some critical components and its operation is time critical.
So somehow, freeRTOS has to work under the control of legacy schedular, for sure if possible.
