## Getting started
This repository contains FreeRTOS kernel source/header files and kernel ports only. This repository is referenced as a submodule in [FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS](https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS) repository, which contains pre-configured demo application projects under ```FreeRTOS/Demo``` directory.
The easiest way to use FreeRTOS is to start with one of the pre-configured demo application projects. That way you will have the correct FreeRTOS source files included, and the correct include paths configured. Once a demo application is building and executing you can remove the demo application files, and start to add in your own application source files. See the [FreeRTOS Kernel Quick Start Guide](https://www.freertos.org/FreeRTOS-quick-start-guide.html) for detailed instructions and other useful links.
Additionally, for FreeRTOS kernel feature information refer to the [Developer Documentation](https://www.freertos.org/features.html), and [API Reference](https://www.freertos.org/a00106.html).
### Getting help
If you have any questions or need assistance troubleshooting your FreeRTOS project, we have an active community that can help on the [FreeRTOS Community Support Forum](https://forums.freertos.org).

## Repository structure
- The root of this repository contains the three files that are common to
every port - list.c, queue.c and tasks.c. The kernel is contained within these
three files. croutine.c implements the optional co-routine functionality - which
is normally only used on very memory limited systems.
- The ```./portable``` directory contains the files that are specific to a particular microcontroller and/or compiler.
See the readme file in the ```./portable``` directory for more information.
- The ```./include``` directory contains the real time kernel header files.

components and are common to every port, and one or more files that are
specific to a particular microcontroller and or compiler.
