Hi Schef, Very good questions.

In SDK15, we have updated FreeRTOS kernel to 10.0 and included a fix to one possible bug.

1) You do not need to switch to SDK15 for that, just download SDK15 and extract SDK15\external\freertos folder and replace it with SDK14\external\freertos.

The API is fully backward compatible so you do not need to change a thing. After this, you are with latest and greatest with all known issues patched. And there is no other dependency as all files are included here. I am not including standard include files and compiler specific standard libs.

2) ISR/priorities for app using FreeRTOS, you handle it the same way as you handle without FreeRTOS, Check here

3) Please look into the examples provided in SDK for this. You can find the example at SDK15\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_hrs_freertos\main.c

4) softdevice will run at highest priority. FreeRTOS kernel runs on top of softdevice and softdevice will see freeRTOS kernel as another application. The softdevice will be given as a binary and is standalone will not depend on any RTOS.
