Starter guide for FREE-RTOS for nRF52 DK

Ashishx88

Hi team , 

I am an starting with my first FIRMWARE development project & the board will be nRF52DK. 

Could members please let me help with some basic query on the same :-

a) Does nRF52DK supports FRRE-RTOS ?

b) Is there any starter guide or web link for the same 

I am trying to learn FREE rtos using nRF52 DK board . 

After basic interface , i was planning to try the BLUETOOTH section. 

Thanks,
Ashish

    Do you have experience with other types of development project?

    Are you familiar with programming in general? Or with microcontrollers in general?

    I wouldn't have thought that's the best approach?

    If your aim is to learn FreeRTOS, I would suggest that you start by gaining familiarity with FreeRTOS on a "conventional" microcontroller before adding all the extra complications of Bluetooth comms.

    FreeRTOS is very well established and widely used; there must be plenty of beginner tutorials around - especially since its acquisition by Amazon.

    On the other hand, I suspect that the majority of nRF52 projects manage just fine without any RTOS - so why do you feel the need for it?

    EDIT

    There are some FreeRTOS examples in the SDK:

    http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v15.2.0%2Flib_rtos.html&cp=4_0_0_3_37

    But remember that FreeRTOS is a 3rd-party product - nothing to do with Nordic.

    So the Nordic examples assume that you are already competent with FreeRTOS - they are not there to teach you FreeRTOS.

    Hi Awneil ,

    1) I have been exposure on Linux development & wanted to try and learn FREE RTOS or ZEPHYR

        Basically idea is to  learn the FREE RTOS / ZEPHYR & then the BLUETOOTH targeting an IOT application

        Again this is for purely learning purpose & hence zeroed on the board nRF52DK .  

    2)  Will take help from the suggestion and link you shared. 

    Thanks for replying.
