I want to add freeRTOS in project(MCXA346) when use MCUXpresso Config Tools 25.12. But I can not find freeRTOS module in tool. Is that not support this function ?

Hello @346500452 ,

Thanks for your post.

Config Tools is responsible for generating device initialization code (pins/clocks/peripherals/TEE/DCD), while FreeRTOS belongs to the SDK component/middleware layer and needs to be added during project creation or via component management. The MCUXpresso SDK for MCXA346/FRDM‑MCXA346 already includes FreeRTOS support and examples that you can refer to.

Hope it helps.

Celeste

Thank you for reply.

I had been noticed that can add freertos in SDK manage.

When I see example for freertos, I cannot find anywhere do systick initial. Is that step auto doing in freertos ?

Hello @346500452 ,

Yes, it's already enabled in freertos. You can directly use it.
