Reinventing the wheel is a waste of time, innovation and effort. Below are some free resources that developers can use to enhance their own development efforts and skills. All resources can be downloaded together or individually. To download, enter your name and email address and the resource will be sent to you.

Why download one single toolkit at a time when you can download all of them and pick and choose the ones to keep?
SystemView Project Files –
K64F and TrueStudio Lite
The SystemView Starter Project files are an Atollic TrueSTUDIO project using the NXP Processor Expert Plug-in along with the K64F Freedom Board. The example code show FreeRTOS running three different LED tasks. The project is setup to use the Segger SystemView that allows a developer to peer into the behavior of the system using the SystemViewer utility.
Selecting the right RTOS for a project can be tricky business. Engineers often come to the table with predisposed opinions that can cloud their judgment and pull them in a direction that isn’t optimal. Use this template to evaluate your project RTOS needs in an UNBIASED manner.
This project how to create a simple bare-metal scheduler that follows the cooperative scheduler technique. The project consists of a simple scheduler that is easily configurable and added to any bare-metal project.
FreeRTOS Baseline Project Files –
TrueStudio and K64F
This project is a baseline starter project for FreeRTOS that uses Atollic TrueStudio, an NXP K64F Freedom Board and Processor Expert. All one needs to do is start adding tasks.
The Defensive Programming Techniques Webinar materials are a Keil ARM MDK project using the STM32401RE Nucleo Board. The example code shows developers how to setup and use printf and assert in a real-time environment along with PC-Lint output.
Choosing to use a baremetal scheduler or an RTOS can be a tough decision and a difficult transition for engineers. These project files demonstrate how to create a FreeRTOS project using Atollics’ TrueStudio and get statistical profiling using the SWV trace.
Getting Started with Real-time Operating Systems
Project Files – Renesas Synergy
This project has examples for the Renesas Synergy(TM) Platform for getting a baseline RTOS project up and running using ThreadX. There are three projects:
"Jacob supported our nanosatellite project, as an embedded software consultant. He developed the detailed software specifications, based on our 'napkin' sketch, and delivered fully tested, working software, supported by the complete and accurate documentation, on the schedule that we agreed with. The embedded code was solid and well received during the code reviews. That software has been operating flawlessly on orbit for the past two years. In this world of late deliveries of unreliable ill-documented products, this is amazing and stand-out achievement. I am eager to work with Jacob on our next satellite project."
