TMDSRM48USB FreeRTOS in Halcogen

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN

Hi Experts !!

I got a small confusion.
I am using TMDSrm48USB stick.
If I am executing normal programs( without FreeRTOS) then I am selecting TMDxRM48USB device in RM48 family while creating new project.
But if I need to perform with FreeRTOS, then I don't have any option for RM48L952ZWT_FreeRTOS.
I am selecting RM48L950ZWT_FreeRTOS to execute. Will it cause any problems ? I am able to successfully run small programs.

Ankush,

The '952 and '950 are the same part but the '952 is spec'd to run a little faster and it costs a bit more because of this.
It's the same part but a faster grade..

So no it won't hurt. HalCoGen has many but not every part # so sometimes you have to pick the closest one and adjust.

Ankush,

Honestly I'm not an expert on that quesiton.
I would definitely look here:
www.freertos.org/a00111.html
www.freertos.org/Static_Vs_Dynamic_Memory_Allocation.html

But I think he's updated this documentation to cover 9.0 where I believe HalCoGen is still using 8.x.
9.0 I think just came out very recently.

Also he's written some tutorials and manuals that you have to pay for -- but give a lot more information than what is on the website.
I've found them worth the $ myself:
