Key Features
- Very small memory footprint, low overhead, and very fast execution.
- Tick-less option for low power applications.
- Equally good for hobbyists who are new to OSes, and professional developers working on commercial products.
- Scheduler can be configured for both preemptive or cooperative operation.
- Coroutine support (Coroutine in FreeRTOS is a very simple and lightweight task that has very limited use of stack)
- Trace support through generic trace macros. Tools such as FreeRTOS+Trace (provided by the FreeRTOS partner Percepio) can thereby record and visualize the runtime behavior of FreeRTOS-based systems. This includes task scheduling and kernel calls for semaphore and queue operations.

Famous quotes containing the words key and/or features:
“‘The key is in the window, the key is in the sunlight at the
window—I have the key—Get married Allen don’t take drugs—the key is in the bars, in the sunlight in the window.
Love,
your mother’”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
