Overview

Ted starting a wiki page to hold notes and findings from working through demos and tutorials on FreeRTOS operating system. First goals include:

• Learning what target CPUs, dev boards and systems run FreeRTOS
• Learning what emulators run and support testing of FreeRTOS instances

^ First Topics Explored

RTOS fundamentals covered in pages of FreeRTOS site:
