Using the FreeRTOS Real Time Kernel - a Practical Guide - NXP LPC17xx Edition (FreeRTOS Tutorial Books)

This is a concise, step by step, 'hands on' guide that describes both general multitasking concepts and FreeRTOS specifics. It presents and explains numerous examples that are written using the FreeRTOS API. Full source code for all the examples is provided in an accompanying .zip file. The LPC17xx edition includes eighteen examples written specifically for the LPC17xx Cortex-M3 using the free LPCXpresso IDE and compiler. As supplied, the examples target the LPC17xx Cortex-M3 microcontrollers, but can also be easily re-targeted to run on the larger LPC13xx devices. A chapter is included that describes FreeRTOS-MPU - the FreeRTOS Cortex-M3 port that includes integrated Memory Protection Unit (MPU) support (please note the example projects do not make use of the MPU). This book is a step by step 'hands on' guide. It does not contain a complete API reference. An API reference manual is available as a separate document.
