FREERTOS vs X-CUBE-FREERTOS

[mccabehm]

Using STM32CubeIDE v1.17 (STM32CubeMX v6.13) to edit IOC file and generate code...

Previously when working with STM32H563 I selected X-CUBE-FREERTOS under Middleware, added tasks, generated code, and saw expected code in app_freertos.c for tasks.

Now starting to work with STM32G491. Under Middleware I see FREERTOS but no X-CUBE-FREERTOS. After adding a task and generating code, I see nothing in app_freertos.c for the task. 

What is the difference between FREERTOS and X-CUBE-FREERTOS?

Why don’t I see X-CUBE-FREERTOS when working with STM32G491?

Oh. Task creation, queues, mutexes, etc are in main.c not app_freertos.c

Hello ​@mccabehm 

X-CUBE-FREERTOS is a software expansion package means ST-delivered add-on package.

For STM32G491, what you see as FREERTOS in CubeMX is CubeMX-integrated FreeRTOS middleware.

They are not two different RTOSes .The main difference is how ST packages and exposes it in CubeMX, not the core FreeRTOS concept itself.
