FREERTOS
Widely used real-time kernel for microcontroller firmware
MIT
ABOUT
Bare-metal loops do not scale once firmware needs concurrent sensors, comms, and control. FreeRTOS is a tiny kernel with tasks, queues, and timers so MCU teams add preemptive scheduling without a heavy OS.
INTEGRATION GUIDE
1. Schedule sensor, control, and comms tasks on an STM32 or ESP32 board
2. Use queues and notifications to pass data between ISR and task context
3. Port a robotics MCU app onto FreeRTOS with a vendor HAL
4. Add software timers and heap management to constrained firmware
