RTX support

[gkrusi]

Hello!

It seams that RTX from Keil was supported in previous versions, but now it was replaced with Free RTOS?

Is there still any simple way of creating project with Keil RTX?

Simplified process of developing Keil MDK-ARM Projects with VisualGDB would be great for me.

Hi,

The RTX/FreeRTOS switch actually comes from the device manufacturer. VisualGDB examples are based on the ones included in the original device SDK and if a certain feature is discontinued in the newer SDK version, VisualGDB will drop it as well. If you let us know the exact device you are using, we may be able to point you to an older SDK that supports RTX.

Thank you, the device in this case is STM32F745IE.

Thanks for confirming this. Based on our knowledge, the STM32 SDKs have always supported FreeRTOS instead of RTX, so our project examples are based on it as well.

It does not mean that you cannot use RTX on STM32 projects, but you would need to setup the project manually, import the necessary source files and possibly change some sources to support STM32 hardware properly. We don’t provide any RTOS versions beyond the ones provided by the SDK vendors, but you should be able to find 3rd-party project examples online as the STM32 devices are very popular.
