## Overview
This directory provides a FreeRTOS-Kernel port that can be used with the Raspberry Pi Pico SDK. It supports:
* Simple CMake INTERFACE libraries, to provide the FreeRTOS-Kernel and also the individual allocator types, without copying code into the user's project.
* Running the FreeRTOS-Kernel and tasks on either core 0 or core 1
* Use of SDK synchronization primitives (such as mutexes, semaphores, queues from pico_sync) between FreeRTOS tasks and code executing on the other core, or in IRQ handlers.
Note that a FreeRTOS SMP version of this port is also available in the FreeRTOS-Kernel smp branch, which additionally supports utilizing both RP2040 CPU cores for FreeRTOS tasks simultaneously.
## Using this port
Copy [FreeRTOS-Kernel-import.cmake](FreeRTOS-Kernel-import.cmake) into your project, and
add:
```cmake
import(FreeRTOS_Kernel_import.cmake)
```
below the usual import of `pico_sdk_import.cmake`
This will find the FreeRTOS kernel if it is a direct sub-module of your project, or if you provide the `FREERTOS_KERNEL_PATH` variable in your environment or via `-DFREERTOS_KERNEL_PATH=/path/to/FreeRTOS-Kernel` on the CMake command line.
## Advanced Configuration
Some additional `config` options are defined [here](include/rp2040_config.h) which control some low level implementation details.
## Known Limitations
- Tickless idle has not currently been tested, and is likely non-functional
