https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/66534/millisecond-counter-in-case-of-freertos-usageI have as starting point the HRS FreeRTOS app. Now I want to add a millisecond counter. But from what I read I&#39;m a little bit confused. Can someone tell me what&#39;s the best route to do. a) In FreeRTOS you can get a tick count with xTaskGetTickCount.
