The project's original source can be found on FreeRTOS's website. The following will help you get started.
-
Download the Atmel IDE from Atmel's website.
-
Open CORTEX_ATSAM3X_Atmel_Studio_demo/RTOSDemo.atsln to open the project. The source files should be viewable within Atmel Studio.
-
Navigate the folders and files using the Solution Explorer, adding and editing files as you require.
-
Build the project by selecting Build->Build Solution (or use F7). Fix any errors the IDE finds and try again. If you are still having trouble clean and Build again,
-
Burn the program onto the microprocessor using the SAM ICE
- The ATSAM3X is a microprocessor developed by Atmel, we are using the SAM3X8E - the same one the Arduino Due uses.
- FreeRTOS is a popular real-time operating system kernel for embedded devices.
- The Atmel IDE is called Atmel Studio. Atmel Studio 6 is built around Visual Studio 10 and works exactly the same way. It's well made, fully featured IDE.
- Solution Explorer is the file manager built into Atmel Studio.
- The SAM ICE is a JTAG emulator used to help us debug the SAM3X8E.
