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.
