FreeRTOS LTS Development Snapshot Contains the source code and example projects for the libraries that will be included in an upcoming Long Term Support (LTS) release – including the kernel, TCP/IP, MQTT and more. See the LTS Roadmap for additional details. The most up to date source code is available on Github. Download
Next Steps
The development activity for FreeRTOS has migrated from SVN to GitHub and can now be found directly on our Github organization. Download a previous release of the FreeRTOS kernel from GitHub as a standard zip (.zip) or self-extracting zip file (.exe). Unzip the source code while making sure to maintain the folder structure. Please read the documentation referenced below to understand the directory structure and get started quickly!

Issues List
Known Issues with the Current Release
None.
Legacy Issues
Also see
security patches.
Coldfire V2 CodeWarrior port
The Coldfire V2 CodeWarrior code will not run with the latest (Eclipse) based CodeWarrior tools. A fix is posted
on the support forum (post 4), and will be incorporated into the main release in due course.
Coldfire V1 CodeWarrior port
The Coldfire V1 CodeWarrior projects will not automatically update to later CodeWarrior versions unless all unnecessary files are deleted from the FreeRTOS/Source directory first. See this support thread for more information.
MSP430 CrossWorks and GCC demos
The CrossWorks demo has not yet been updated to use CrossWorks V2.0 or later. The GCC demo has not yet been updated to use the latest MSPGCC compiler version.
AVR32 demos
The IAR Embedded Workbench demos for the AVR32 will not currently build if you are using a later version of the IAR tool chain. The issue is caused by changes to macro names within the compiler header files.
Silicon Labs SDCC ports
Unfortunately these will not work with the latest compiler versions. The compiler version used to generate the port is now rather old, but is stated on the port documentation page.
