Hi,

I have a TMDX570LC43HDK development kit (http://www.ti.com/tool/TMDX570LC43HDK) and was wondering if the FreeRTOS port provided in the TMS570 Demo (https://www.freertos.org/Free_RTOS_for_TI_RM48_and_TMS570.html) targeted at TMDX570LS31USB would work with this MCU or not. If not, could you please let me know how I could go about creating a new port for this board?

Thanks,
Farbod

Without diving deep into the MCU versions used by both parts to determine if there are any differences - from a high level I would say as both are TMS570 parts in the same family you should be good to use the existing FreeRTOS demo as a base. The following link might then be helpful: https://www.freertos.org/porting-a-freertos-demo-to-different-hardware.html

Note also that the last time I looked TI’s HalCoGen tool would create FreeRTOS projects for you - so that might actually be you best route to getting up and running.
