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:
“Japanese mothers credit “effort” as the key determinant of a child’s achievement in school, while American mothers name “ability” as the more important factor.”
—Perry Garfinkel (20th century)
““It looks as if
Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
And its eyes shut with overeagerness
To see what people found so interesting
In one another, and had gone to sleep
Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
