[Project: Embedded] Hands On RTOS with MCU’s Part 1

The Project:

Finally found a really good RTOS book that contains enough info on RTOS basic concepts, mature FreeRTOS, stable IDE, debug tools, affordable hardware and most importantly ‘SystemView – Real-time Analysis and Visualization’.

Will be doing a mini-series on my progress completing projects in the book!

My goal is to be a better embedded systems engineer and RTOS!

The Book:

The book can be found from Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Hands-RTOS-Microcontrollers-Building-real-time-ebook/dp/B086V86RQP

The Hardware:

STM32 Nucleo-144 development board with STM32F767ZI MCU, supports Arduino, ST Zio and morpho connectivity – https://www.amazon.com/Nucleo-144-development-STM32F767ZI-supports-connectivity/dp/B077FTNLQF/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=stm+nucleo&qid=1592792074&sr=8-2

Setup Environment:

• Windows 10
• Git Repo: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-RTOS-with-Microcontrollers

The step-by-step:

1. Copy Repo address here: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-RTOS-with-Microcontrollers
2. Make directory ‘C:\projects’

C:\> cd C:\
C:\> mkdir projects

1. Change directory to ‘projects’

C:\> cd projects

1. Clone repo: git clone https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-RTOS-with-Microcontrollers

C:\projects> git clone https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-RTOS-with-Microcontrollers

1. Open Application ‘STM32CubeIDE’
2. Save to some workspace (not too critical where)…
3. Go to File->Import
4. Go to General->Existing Projects into Workspace
5. Open and browse to ‘C:\projects\…’ then click ‘Next’
6. Right click on project Chapter5_6->properties
7. Go to Resource->Linked Resources and click on ‘Linked Resources’ tab
8. Resolve paths… and ‘Apply and Close’
9. Right click on project Chapter5_6->Index->Rebuild
10. Right click on project Chapter5_6->Build Project
11. DONE!
