This repository is referenced as a submodule in [FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS](https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS) repository, which contains pre-configured demo application projects under ```FreeRTOS/Demo``` directory. + +The easiest way to use FreeRTOS is to start with one of the pre-configured demo application projects. That way you will have the correct FreeRTOS source files included, and the correct include paths configured. Once a demo application is building and executing you can remove the demo application files, and start to add in your own application source files. See the [FreeRTOS Kernel Quick Start Guide](https://www.freertos.org/FreeRTOS-quick-start-guide.html) for detailed instructions and other useful links. + +Additionally, for FreeRTOS kernel feature information refer to the [Developer Documentation](https://www.freertos.org/features.html), and [API Reference](https://www.freertos.org/a00106.html). + +### Getting help +If you have any questions or need assistance troubleshooting your FreeRTOS project, we have an active community that can help on the [FreeRTOS Community Support Forum](https://forums.freertos.org). + +## Cloning this repository + +To clone using HTTPS: +``` +git clone https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Kernel.git +``` +Using SSH: +``` +git clone git@github.com:FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Kernel.git +``` + +## Repository structure +- The root of this repository contains the three files that are common to +every port - list.c, queue.c and tasks.c. The kernel is contained within these +three files. croutine.c implements the optional co-routine functionality - which +is normally only used on very memory limited systems. + +- The ```./portable``` directory contains the files that are specific to a particular microcontroller and/or compiler. +See the readme file in the ```./portable``` directory for more information. + +- The ```./include``` directory contains the real time kernel header files. |
