Yes - an RTOS project needs to be designed as such from the outset - it is not a "bolt-on".

Again, this has nothing specifically to do with Nordic; and applies to any RTOS - not just FreeRTOS.

Thanks awneil, so you're saying even with a simple blinky program, I cannot add FREERTOS and need to create a new project.

You can't just add an RTOS to a project!

Working with an RTOS requires an entirely different structure & design for your code - it is not a "bolt-on".

This applies to any RTOS on any platform - it is not specific to FreeRTOS, and certainly not specific to Nordic.

Then you need to spend time to gain familiarity with FreeRTOS.

FreeRTOS is a 3rd-party product - nothing to do with Nordic. Documentation & support here:

You can do that without an RTOS
