FreeRTOSTM is a portable, open source, mini Real Time Kernel - a free RTOS.
This site shows how a complete real time system can be created
from a Windows host using quality open source development tools (where available).
- Free RTOS kernel
- Free development tools (MIPS, ARM7, AMD, AVR and 8051 ports)
- Free source code
- No royalties
- Sample pre-configured complete real time solutions
- Cross development from a standard Windows host
- Demo applications for selected single board computers

- FreeRTOS.orgTM V4.0.4 now available: Introduces an STR9 ARM9 port with embedded WEB server demo.
- FreeRTOS.orgTM V4.0.3 now available: Adds IAR support for ARM Cortex-M3.
- New support packages: Professional development and support packages are now available.
The FreeRTOS.org V4.0.x download includes pre-configured demo applications for Luminary Micros new ARM Cortex-M3 based LM3S102 microcontroller.
The LM3S10x is the first commercially available Cortex-M3 microcontroller, and FreeRTOS.org is the first Cortex-M3 real time kernel available for production silicon!
See the press release here.
In addition FreeRTOS.org V4.0.0 introduces co-routines - a new feature especially suited to RAM constrained embedded systems.
Existing ports:
- Luminary Micro LM3S10x ARM Cortex-M3 based microcontrollers using both ARM Keil (RVDS) and GCC.
- ST Microelectronics STR71x (ARM7), STR9 (ARM9) (STR711F, STR712F, etc.).
- LPC2106, LPC2124 and LPC2129 (ARM7). Includes I2C driver source code. Demo's for Olimex and Keil hardware.
- Renesas H8S2329 (Hitachi H8/S) with an EDK2329 demo.
- Atmel AT91SAM7 family (AT91SAM7X256, AT91SAM7X128, AT91SAM7S32, AT91SAM7S64, AT91SAM7S128, AT91SAM7S256). Includes USB driver source code for the IAR Kickstart, plus uIP and lwIP embedded TCP/IP
stack demos.
- AT91FR40008 with an Embest ATEB40X demo.
- MSP430 with a Softbaugh demo including LCD driver. MSPGCC and Rowley CrossWorks tools are supported.
- HCS12 (MC9S12C32 small memory model and MC9S12DP256B banked memory model)
- Cygnal 8051 / 8052
- Microchip PICMicro (PIC18)
- Atmel AVR (MegaAVR) with an STK500 demo.
- RDC8822 Microcontroller (AMD embedded 186 clone) with demo for the Flashlite 186 SBC.
- PC [running on top of FreeDOS or other DOS]
- ColdFire - note this port is unsupported
- Zilog Z80 (eZ80 Acclaim!) - note this port is unsupported
- Xilinx Microblaze soft processor core running on a Virtex4 FPGA.
- Tern Inc Ethernet Engine controller.
- More microcontroller, development tools and single board computer ports here soon! Please contact me if you are interested in any other ports and are willing to supply a development kit for the purpose. C167, etc.
A demo application targeted for a particular single board computer is included for each port.
