FreeRTOS support for i.MX RT1050 EVK

Hi,

I am looking for a basic code in freeRTOS that works on i.MX RT1050 EVK.

Is this code available as example code?

Regarding,

Hi Aniket

1. When downloading the SDK package, make sure you have either “All Toolchains” selected or “IAR”. Also make sure the Amazon FreeRTOS middleware option is selected. You can also use “Select All.”
2. Unzip the SDK package and navigate to \boards\evkbimxrt1050\rtos_examples then choose the example you’re interested in.
3. There will be a IAR folder with a project file ending with .eww. This is the project you can load.

Below is a screenshot of the IAR file folder with the project file highlighted using the "freertos_hello" example.

Let me know if you have any other issues or questions!

Thanks a lot!

This is going to be very helpful!

Could you please share me the link where SDK downloading with options(mentioned in point 1) is available?

Regards,

Aniket.

Aniket,

This should put you on the right track: https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/en/select?device=EVKB-IMXRT1050  

For the FreeRTOS, select this option as highlighted below and confirm that the toolchain/IDE is "IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM" before downloading.

Richard. Thanks for your reply.

Is there way to generate project for IAR?

I will be needing the FreeRtos code in IAR

[FreeRTOS_org]

If you install the RT1050 SDK in LPCXpresso it will generate a FreeRTOS project for you.
