ThreadX or FreeRTOS with FileX?

Hi,

This is for STM32U5 and STM32H7 series MCUs.

I was starting to use ThreadX because it looked like it was preferred over FreeRTOS. Now it looks like it is going the other way FreeRTOS is preferred over ThreadX ... or so I read/watched.

I liked ThreadX with FileX because they seemed better integrated than FreeRTOS and say FATfs. But I don't have a lot of experience with RTOS in general. I've used a bit of FreeRTOS before but it looked like ThreadX was a better option for STM32U5 series MCU (in cubeMX).

The video I watched and info on going back to FreeRTOS  with separate FileX (from STM) said that it was going to happen by the end of 2025. 

I prefer to stay with one RTOS, whichever is going to make my life easier but I also need a file system.

We're at the end of 2025 so I wonder if this switch from ThreadX to FreeRTOS with separate FileX has already been implemented in the new STM32cubeIDE v 2.0? BTW I'm currently using STM32CubeIDE v1.19.0 with Windows 11.

Comments/suggestions welcome. Thanks.
