Hi people,

I have STM32F100RB-Discovery board. I need a free real-time operating system which I could deploy on that board.

I know for FreeRTOS, but following their manual I haven't succeeded to deploy it yet.

Any suggestions and experiences with RTOSs on this board?

Best regards

Dusan

    Hi

    ''I have STM32F100RB-Discovery board.

    I know for FreeRTOS, but following their manual I haven't succeeded to deploy it yet.''

    Really?!?

    It looks like there is an example that should just work 'out of the box'

    http://www.freertos.org/FreeRTOS-for-Cortex-M3-STM32-STM32F100-Discovery.html

    However, since you asked :

    ''I need a free real-time operating system which I could deploy on that board. ''

    Here is a list of most of the RTOSs out there :

    I know from people on this forum that FreeRTOS works and also ChibiOS/RT

    ''I need (sic) a ... real-time operating system''

    Why do you think you ''need'' it?
    A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

    sung.chen_chung, thanks! I can't build FreeRTOS demo code in Atollic, but it happened to other people as well.

    I keep trying...

    Why do I need it?

    Because I would like to play. :) At the university I worked with embOS from Segger. It costs several thousand € 

    and I know there are free RTOSs. To create tasks, manage them, build small embedded systems... That's why. :)
