I would like to use StarterWare to develop software for a Beagle Bone using a real time operating system, but don't know what my options are for the RTOS. For example, can I use FreeRTOS? My company employs IAR Embedded Workbench as the IDE on a Windows desktop.
Furthermore, if I use a third party RTOS, does this mean that Linux will be operating under the hood but I will not see it? Would I not be simply configuring the RTOS via an API? I don't want to deal with Linux directly if I don't have to.
