    Working with the STM32F7xx.  When I look at the RTOS examples they refer to CMSIS-RTOS and not FreeRTOS. Are they actually not FreeRTOS examples? Is there a difference? ( not really sure how to ask this question since I am still trying to get started in STM32/VGDB world )

    Hi,

    If you are using the regular STM32F7 (not mbed-based) examples, CMSIS-OS is simply a wrapper around FreeRTOS (you can check this by selecting “Go to Definition” for any of the CMSIS-related functions).

    This abstraction level comes from the original STM32 SDK libraries and is intended to facilitate porting your code between different RTOSes (e.g. FreeRTOS vs Keil RTX).

    Thank you. It was a stupid question. Apologies.

    Hi,

    No worries. Sometimes the names in the SDKs can be indeed confusing and we are happy to point you to the right direction.
