`freertos-next` is a Rust wrapper for the FreeRTOS API.

- It bundles the official [FreeRTOS-Kernel]https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Kernel sources (currently `V11.2.0`).
  If you need a customized setup, you can prepare your own kernel source files and call `b.freertos("path/to/your/kernel");` in your `build.rs`.
- It implements several traits to ensure smooth integration with embedded projects:
  - [`os-trait`]https://crates.io/crates/os-trait
  - [`critical-section`]https://crates.io/crates/critical-section
  - [`mutex-traits`]https://crates.io/crates/mutex-traits

The crate is published as **freertos-next** on crates.io because the more obvious names (`freertos`, `freertos-rust`) are already taken.

## 📦 Usage
[freertos-next](https://github.com/mcu-rust/FreeRTOS/tree/main/freertos) works together with [freertos-build](https://crates.io/crates/freertos-build).

1. Add the dependencies to your application:

```sh
cargo add freertos-next
cargo add --build freertos-build
```
2. Add the following snippet to your application's `build.rs`:
```rust
use freertos_build::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let mut b = freertos_build::Builder::new();
    b.cpu_clock(72.MHz());
    b.heap_size(10 * 1024);
    b.minimal_stack_size(80);
    b.interrupt_priority_bits(4, 5, 15);
    b.compile().unwrap();
}
```
3. For more Optional configuration, see [freertos-build]https://crates.io/crates/freertos-build

 A complete example using `freertos-next` with [stm32f1-hal]https://crates.io/crates/stm32f1-hal is available here: [stm32f1-FreeRTOS-example]https://github.com/mcu-rust/stm32f1-FreeRTOS-example

## 📘 C Compiler

`freertos-build` uses the [`cc`](https://docs.rs/crate/cc) crate to compile the FreeRTOS kernel.
The C compiler can be configured via the `CC` environment variable, or it will fall back to the defaults provided by `cc`.

For ARM targets, the expected compiler is `arm-none-eabi-gcc`, which can be obtained from the [ARM GNU toolchain](https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads).

### Install

```sh
# Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install -y gcc-arm-none-eabi

# Windows (Scoop)
scoop install gcc-arm-none-eabi
```
