SK-AM64B: How to install freeRTOS with CLI, SSH etc

Part Number: SK-AM64B


Tool/software:

Hi to all,

I'm trying to find a way to install freeRTOS on the board, is there an pre compiled image like the LINUX (or LINUX RT) available in TI website? 

I would like also to log in freeRTOS and operate with a CLI, accesso the ethenet, configure port, install ssh etc etc like a linux OS, is it possible?

Up to now I'm working with freeRTOS examples in mcu_plus_sdk_am64x_11_01_00_17 with CCS 20.3.

Thank you very much.

Regards.

Andrea

  • Hello Andrea,

    Sorry for the delayed response.

    The MCU+ SDK RTOS environment works differently compared to Linux.
    All the FreeRTOS and NoRTOS examples are available under the following path in the SDK:

    C:\ti\mcu_plus_sdk_am64x_11_00_00_15\examples\drivers

    C:\ti\mcu_plus_sdk_am64x_11_00_00_15\examples\networking

    If you want to try any example, you’ll need to build it using CCS or makefile, and then flash it to the board.
    There is no concept of “installing” FreeRTOS as in Linux — each application (e.g. Ethernet, UART, GPIO, etc.) is built and flashed individually.

    If you want to use Ethernet along with other peripherals, you need to integrate those modules within a single application.
    Once integrated, build and flash that combined image to the board.

    This is the typical flow for applications on the MCU+ SDK FreeRTOS/NoRTOS side.
