ESP8266 Community Forum

Hello folks
First, what I try. I would like to build up my own home automation system. For this I would like to be able to work with tasks, why I decided to go with a FreeRTOS. But after some research and errors like "avr/io.h not found" I discovered that the Arduino/ESP8266 Platform is not RTOS ready. This I started to realize, because my CPU is not a AVR, so there is nothing with "avr/io.h". Is it really true that there is no reasonable way to get the FreeRTOS on the ESP8266 with the Arduino IDE? To me the informations what I found were not totally clear, maybe also because I did not understand everything as a beginner. So, I would be happy, if someone can explain the things around beginners friendly to me.

Actually, I did reinstall the hole things with Arduino IDE and Libraries. So I have all the things at the newest releases. I also tryed it out with Visual Studio and visualMicro, becaus this would be the final enviroment, where I would like to code.

Error message in the Arduino IDE after adding #include <Arduino_FreeRTOS.h>

are you able to solve these issue??

pretty sure this lib is only for avr platforms ...
