FreeRTOS

[Jörgen]

Has anyone tryed or know if freertos is working with nRF51822?

[Marc Nicholas]

If you just wanted to natively use the radio with no SoftDevice, it should be a relatively easy port.

If you want to use it with the SoftDevice, you're going to be out-of-luck. Plus the SoftDevice is something of an RTOS in some respects.

It would be nice if nordic release a RTOS that works with BLE.

Any possible to release a RTOS in mouths?

If you look at the "Key Features" section of both the S110 and S120 soft device description pages they claim that they have "No RTOS dependency" and that "Any RTOS can be used"

This question seems to have slipped under the radar this fall. However, there is no official FreeRTOS port to nRF51822, but based on some quick internal experiments, we do think that it would be possible to do such port, even when using the softdevice. Some care may have to be taken with regard to RAM consumption, though.

There may be further activity on this some time this year, but I can't give any promises. If anyone does a port themselves, we'd be very interested to take a look on it, if they could share it.
