FreeRTOS is a truly free (even for commercial applications) small footprint, portable, preemptive, open source, real time kernel that has been designed specifically for use on embedded microcontrollers. With more than 77,500 downloads during 2009 - FreeRTOS has become one of the most popular real time kernels available. This book is a concise, step by step, 'hands on' tutorial guide to using the FreeRTOS real time kernel. It describes both general multitasking programming concepts and FreeRTOS specifics by presenting and explaining numerous examples that are written using the FreeRTOS API. Full source code for all the examples is provided in an accompanying .zip file. The LPC17xx edition includes sixteen examples written specifically for the LPC17xx Cortex M3 using the free LPCXpresso IDE and compiler. As supplied the examples target the LPC17xx Cortex M3 microcontrollers (which are stocked in the FreeRTOS shop) but can also be easily re-targeted to run on the LPC13xx devices. There is also a generic Cortex M3 edition of the book. A chapter is included that describes FreeRTOS-MPU - the FreeRTOS Cortex M3 port that includes integrated Memory Protection Unit (MPU) support (please note the example projects do not make use of the MPU). This book is a step by step 'hands on' guide. It does not contain a complete API reference. An API reference manual is available in a separate document.
