FreeRTOS on Arduino Mega 2560

[bha...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Have any of you guys used a version of FreeRTOS for Arduino Mega or UNO?
If yes, please help me out with any resources.
Right now, I'm trying to use the files at http://sourceforge.net/projects/avrfreertos/ with Arduino Mega and AVR Studio 6.1.

You can try out https://github.com/sudar/RTuinOS which is a RTOS for Arduino Mega.

PS: I am not the original developer. I am just a contributor and maintaining the current code base.

Hi Sudar, 

Thanks for the link! I've downloaded it, but I wasn't able to understand how to install it using the makefile.

Can you please help me with more instructions? 

Thank you!

I've only downloaded the files from the github link.

I wasn't able to understand this part of the readme: 

"The link between the RTuinOS build environment (GNU make based) and the Arduino installation is made by means of a new environment variable. You need to create the variable ARDUINO_HOME prior to opening any shell window. ARDUINO_HOME holds the path to the Arduino installation, like C:\ProgramFiles\arduino-1.0.5 under Windows."

I forgot to add the user manual. Just added it. You can check it out https://github.com/sudar/RTuinOS/blob/master/doc/manual/RTuinOS-1.0-UserGuide.pdf

To answer your specific question.

Run this command first

export ARDUINO_HOME="your/path/to/arduino/installation/dir"

or you can set it in your `~/.bashrc`

Check-out/download the code and then from the root directory run the following command

make

This will show the list of targets available and also full documentation about how you can compile new applications or sample examples.

Try it out and let me know if you face any issues.

PS: I guess, I should update the Readme file with this information as well.
