dsPIC33 and PIC24 FreeRTOS Demo
Summary
This repository contains the freeRTOS demos for Microchip device families like dsPIC33A, dsPIC33C, dsPIC33E, dsPIC33F and PIC24. For the demo applications, MPLAB X and XC-DSC/XC16 are the preferred IDE and compiler respectively with which to build the FreeRTOS demos. The board to be used to run the demo is Explorer 16/32 (Explore 16/32 is backward compatible with Explorer 16). The version of freeRTOS used in this demo is : freeRTOS v10.5.1

-
The FreeRTOS/Source directory contains the FreeRTOS source code, and contains its own readme file.

See http://www.freertos.org/a00017.html for full details of the directory structure and information on locating the files you require.

See http://www.freertos.org/portpic24_dspic.html#DemoApp for full details above the demos.
The easiest way to use FreeRTOS is to start with one of the pre-configured demo application projects (found in the pic24-dspic33-freertos-demo/Demo directory). That way you will have the correct FreeRTOS source files included, and the correct include paths configured. Once a demo application is building and executing you can remove the demo application file, and start to add in your own application source files.
