When will STM32CubeMX will be up to date concerning FreeRTOS?

[ANauz.1]

Hello,

I'm working with:

• STM32CubeMX version 6.8 (last version)
• STM32F4 FW version 1.27.1 (last version again)

And, when generating a project with FreeRTOS, the FreeRTOS version is 10.3.1

This version has been released more than 3 years ago!! It is completely out of date. Who would start working on a 3 years old version when there is an LTS version few months ago?? The current LTS version is 10.5.1!!

It seems that this problem is caused by the (very very) long ST CMSIS development delay.

CMSIS that is not so convenient:

• lake of some of the functions
• Not so much support compare to FreeRTOS forum

So, what about the possibility for CubeMX to generate FreeRTOS code, without CMSIS, and with the LAST VERSION of FreeRTOS?

Thank you

Antoine

Hello @ANauz.1​, 

For F4, FreeRTOS remains in native mode and supported on STM32CubeMX.So, 10.5.1 will be supported only on new series, it will not be supported on legacy series.

For new series, you can find X-CUBE-FREERTOS - FreeRTOS software expansion for STM32Cube - STMicroelectronics supporting the same level of features and configurability as native FreeRTOS. Some enhancements as well were added such as CubeMX updates to manage X-Cube FreeRTOS.
