AM2634: AM263x LaunchPad , How to Enable FreeRTOS and Configure LED for AM263x LaunchPad in SysConfig ?

Part Number: AM2634
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG

Tool/software:

Hello,

I am using the latest CCS and MCU+ SDK for the AM263x LaunchPad. I need to create a FreeRTOS project that blinks an LED.

  1. No FreeRTOS Example: When creating a project, only a NORTOS version of gpio_led_blink is available. I selected this but cannot convert it to FreeRTOS. i thought of going with the NORTOS and then change it to rtos by adding modules but no such option like pervious ccs studio is seen in the .syscfg file 

  2. Unclear LED GPIO Setup: I am also unsure how to correctly configure the GPIO for the LaunchPad's user LED in SysConfig. Should I use the "LED" component under "TI BOARD DRIVERS" or configure a GPIO pin directly?

How can I:

  • Enable FreeRTOS for my project in SysConfig?

  • Correctly configure the LED GPIO?

A simple step-by-step guide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My Environment:

  • CCS: [Your Version]

  • SDK: mcu_plus_sdk_am263x_10_02_00_13

  • Board: AM263x LaunchPad

regards,
Abhiram
