# RP2040 FreeRTOS Implementation Overview

## Project Structure
The RP2040-FreeRTOS project provides a modular framework for developing FreeRTOS applications on the RP2040 microcontroller.

### Key Components
- **FreeRTOS Kernel**: Included as git submodule
- **Pico SDK**: Raspberry Pi Pico SDK as submodule
- **Application Templates**: Multiple example applications
- **Build System**: CMake-based configuration

## Example Applications

### 1. Template App
- Basic LED flip-flop demonstration
- Inter-task queue communication
- Foundation for custom projects

### 2. Scheduling App
- Temperature sensor integration
- LED display output
- Task scheduling demonstration

### 3. IRQs App
- Interrupt-driven temperature sensing
- Real-time response capabilities

### 4. Timers App
- FreeRTOS software timer implementation
- Periodic task execution

## Build System
- **Build Tool**: CMake
- **Configurations**: Debug and Release
- **Deployment**: Automated deploy script
- **Languages**: C and C++ support

## Configuration
- Central configuration: `FreeRTOSConfig.h`
- Application-specific CMakeLists.txt
- Flexible and extensible design
