Amazon FreeRTOS vs. Nordic FreeRTOS

[Tim Adu]

Hello,

We are  developing on the NRF52840, using SDK 15.2.0 and FreeRTOS

We currently have DFU over BLE implemented, but we are strongly considering switching over to DFU over cellular (AWS IoT), as it makes more sense for our product.

Therefore we are considering switching to Amazon FreeRTOS (primarily for the OTA capapbilities).

What are the core differences between the two FreeRTOS ports, and how will the SoftDevice be impacted if we use the Amazon FreeRTOS?

Thanks

Tim

Hi Tim

We stopped supporting Amazon FreeRTOS some time ago, but the architecture, etc. should be the same, so it should be possible to switch to Amazon FreeRTOS. We don't have any guides what so ever on this though, so you're on your own for doing so I'm afraid. The SoftDevice should not be impacted so long as you use the sd_calls when using it and taking it into consideration while porting/developing.

Best of luck and regards,

Simon

Is this the latest status? Can you confirm that support for Amazon FreeRTOS is officially over?
