Port of the FreeRTOS for the MSP430 Architecture

This is a simple guide to run applications with FreeRTOS with the msp430 microcontrollers.

Here it's shown:

• How to setup the toolchain
• The steps to port the FreeRTOS
• A code example to test it.

Prerequisites

It's recommended that who will attempt this guide should know the basics of the C language and general microcontrollers concepts: timers, interrupts and so on.

Hardware

This should work for all of the msp430 microcontrollers. I didn't test it. I did for the msp430f6659 and msp430f5529. Here i will show for the msp430f5529 launchpad.

Useful info

This guide IS NOT sponsored by TI or FreeRTOS. I did not receive any revenue for doing this. I gathered all information from colleagues in a scholarship in my college, operating systems class and the FreeRTOS website to built this guide. I decided to build it for people get this job done faster than i did when i started. You are free to use this guide at your own will.
