 Le Trung Thang 2011 

After ported success the FreeRTOS kernel to AT91SAM7S board, see: “Porting Real Time OS "FreeRTOS" to AT91SAM7S256 Evaluation board”. Now, we can start to create an application using FreeRTOS. The preparation tools, you can see at above article.

The first, you need download the demo project at here. Unzip downloaded file and go to folder Atmel\at91sam7s-ek\FreeRTOS-getting-started  and open file FreeRTOS- this getting-started.eww to start IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM IDE.

From demo project, you can edit the project hierarchy as your requirement.
