Hi,

I've just download the last release, and surprise, the projet creation wizard doesn't offer the possibility to create a FreeRTOS projet as it did on previous ones.
That was really comfortable, is it any way to add something to the IDE?

Thanks

We actually only provided FreeRTOS wizards in LPCXpresso5 and earlier for a very limited number of parts (basically just the LPC17 family).

The underlying wizard mechanism was actually rewritten for LPCXpresso6 and unfortunately the old FreeRTOS project creation mechanism did not map easily into the new world and would also not scale to cover other parts. Thus unfortunately for the moment, we don't supply any FreeRTOS wizards in LPCXpresso6. We do have some ideas for a new and improved FreeRTOS wizard mechanism for future implementation. However I unfortunately cannot current say when these might get implemented into a product release.

There are plenty of FreeRTOS examples floating around for NXPs parts though, so for the moment your best bet would be to use one of those as a starting point.

Regards,
LPCXPresso Support

I agree that was a handy feature. I was able to use a FreeRTOS project (from FreeRTOS for the 1769) that worked but had a lot more in it than I wanted (or needed).
