- Sun Apr 09, 2017 1:58 pm #64771 Hi!
I it possible to use/does there exist a freeRTOS version for the ESP8266 to use with the Arduino add-on?
I'm currently using this FreeRTOS library for AVRs, but I'd like to use it with the ESP8266 too

- Mon Apr 10, 2017 1:15 pm #64807 You are asking in the ArduinoIDE (Arduino core) section of the forum. Arduino compiled code with this core already has a (meager) RTOS implemented.

If you wish to use freeRTOS, then a large number of examples can be found using Google:

But you must use the Espressif Dev system.

With Arduino and ESP32, FreeRTOS is automatically linked in. I have some info here:
