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

Getting Started

  1. Clone repository with submodules
  2. Configure CMake build
  3. Build selected application
  4. Deploy to RP2040 device

Development Environment Support

  • Visual Studio Code
  • Xcode
  • Command-line tools
