Hello Richard,

Is there good paper to compare TI-RTOS and FreeRTOS, what is the key benefit of TI-RTOS that I must consider?

I searched our E2E forum and found the following threads discussing the comparisons between TI-RTOS and FreeRTOS. Basically, TI-RTOS is provided directly from TI (versus FreeRTOS which is a third-party partner) and provides additional stacks for TCP/IP/USB that are free, tested, and pre-integrated (whereas more effort and perhaps cost may be required to achieve the same thing using FreeRTOS). Please read through these threads to gain a better idea of which one you should use. You can also learn more about FreeRTOS by visiting their website: http://www.freertos.org/

I'm currently reviewing the RTOS for MSP430F2619 but could not find demo code with RTOS to give me a start. 

What library I need to put together into project folder elsewhere, I do not like to reference library within common folder as update may screw up the code.

You can start by downloading TI-RTOS for MSP430 from the following link.

Lastly, the following guides will help you understand more about TI-RTOS and how to use it.
