RTOS/AM5728: FreeRTOS on M4

Part Number: AM5728

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Hi all,

we have an existing FreeRTOS-based application running on another plattform and want to switch to the AM5728.

Is it possible to run a FreeRTOS on the ARM Cortex-M4 Co-Processor?

Kind regards

Hi,

FreeRTOS is not supported by TI. The supported platform is TI-RTOS: software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html

Thanks for the fast response.

FreeRTOS does has a Cortex-A port, tried and tested on various Cortex-Ax architectures, but there is no prepackaged example for that chip. The effort in running FreeRTOS on the part will depend on the interrupt controller used. If it is the ARM GIC then it is simpler and this is the relevant page: www.freertos.org/Using-FreeRTOS-on-Cortex-A-Embedded-Processors.html . If a propitiatory interrupt controller is used then it is more effort, and this is the relevant page: www.freertos.org/Using-FreeRTOS-on-Cortex-A-proprietary-interrupt-controller.html

Thanks Richard.

Did you mean Cortex-Mx port? Because I was talking about the Co-Processor of the AM5728 and this is a ARM Cortex-M4.

Do you have any experience with running FreeRTOS on a Co-Processor?

Kind regards

Chris

Ah, ok, in which case it should be easier. FreeRTOS will run on any Cortex-M0/0+/3/4/4F/7 part. No porting is required, but you will need to create a project. The following links may help:
