Ultrascale Demo Page issues

[skptak (Soren Ptak)]

Hey, I was looking for a FreeRTOS Demo using the Xilinx UltraScale MPSoC board and found the ARM Cortex-R5 Xilinx UltraScale MPSoC page. I saw that this page was last updated this month, Novemeber 2025, but it seems like there are already broken links on it?

Of the four links in the IMPORTANT! section only the first one works, the other three end up linking to the page in general. For example, the Build Instructions link goes to this, https://www.freertos.org/Documentation/02-Kernel/03-Supported-devices/04-Demos/Xilinx/RTOS-ARM-Cortex-R5-Xilinx-UltraScale_MPSoC#build-instructions which doesn’t exist on the page so it ends up linking back to the top of the page.

But I can’t find an actual link to any demo application that is being referenced on this page. In section Importing the RTOS demo project into the SDK Eclipse workspace running it it says to select FreeRTOS/Demo/CORTEX_R5_UltraScale_MPSoCas the root directory.

Why isn’t there a link to the FreeRTOS/Demo/CORTEX_R5_UltraScale_MPSoC on this page? I know the repository layout of FreeRTOS and it’s demos where I could go and find this. But if I was an external user who hadn’t ever used FreeRTOS before, I would not have known where to go to find the link to this demo.

Hi @skptak,

For example, the Build Instructions link goes to this, https://www.freertos.org/Documentation/02-Kernel/03-Supported-devices/04-Demos/Xilinx/RTOS-ARM-Cortex-R5-Xilinx-UltraScale_MPSoC#build-instructions which doesn’t exist on the page so it ends up linking back to the top of the page.

Our team will fix the broken links you have mentioned.

In general, the website (especially for older demos) refers to the location of demo projects using the directory structure of the FreeRTOS repository as, in the past, people would download that repository as a zip package from the website… though as it stands today the download link at the top is instead for the LTS package. So I will make a note of that as well for the team.
