Amazon FreeRTOS Support

[martin]

i've seen examples in the nRF SDK using FreeRTOS and am very interested in integrating an (RT)OS for upcoming embedded projects since they very quickly outgrow the limits of "loop-based" execution.

with the new amazon FreeRTOS and cooperation partners (very interestingly also Wittenstein) i'd be interested to know if also nordic has any plans in joining this ecosystem / qualification program?

Hi,

This is quite early to say anything. But for now we are very careful in joining any new RTOS ecosystem. We already support Zephyr RTOS and FreeRTOS. We will closely monitor the market movements with Amazon FreeRTOS, but hard to commit at this stage.

@Elkana, Market is enormous evolving beast. It is hard to predict what it needs in the far future and which standard/solution leads/satisfies the market. You are right, at this moment neither FreeRTOS nor Zephyr offers common solution against multiple MCUs but we were seeing that Zephyr is moving faster in that direction. Still hard to say, so we will observe at this moment and keep our ears/eyes open to grasp the movement. Mr Market has not given clear directions yet with the options available.
