Course Title: FreeRTOS on Raspberry PI Pico: Unlocking the Potential of RP2040 Boards with Real-Time Multitasking!

Course Headline: Updated for FreeRTOS Kernel V11 - January 2024. Dive into the world of concurrency and real-time multitasking on your Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico W with this comprehensive guide to FreeRTOS Kernel! This hands-on course, led by Dr Jon Durrant, will equip you with the skills to harness the capabilities of the RP2040 microcontrollers through a series of 15 practical example projects.

Course Description: Embark on an exciting journey into the realm of embedded systems and real-time operating systems with our FreeRTOS Kernel course. This course is meticulously designed for the Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W, leveraging their powerful RP2040 microcontrollers. Whether you're a hobbyist, educator, or professional, this course will guide you through the intricacies of FreeRTOS on RP2040 boards.

• Key Features:
  • Tasks: Discover how to run multiple concurrent processes on a single core.
  • Semaphores: Master the art of sending signals between tasks to synchronize access to shared resources.
  • Queues: Learn queue management and understand how queues can decouple tasks.
  • Message Buffers: Explore the use of queues with variable length items.
  • Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP): Utilize both RP2040 cores simultaneously for even more processing power.
  • C++ Heap Use: Get hands-on experience with managing memory using FreeRTOS's heap implementation in C++.

What You Will Need: To bring the examples to life, you will need a few simple components:

Prerequisites: This course is designed for individuals with a solid understanding of C++. While the course will guide you through the functionality of each example, it assumes that you are familiar with how stacks and heaps are used in C++. Additionally, knowledge on how to compile and deploy C++ code to the Pico using the Raspberry Pi Pico SDK is expected. If you're not yet comfortable with these skills, consider taking Dr Durrant's other course, "Introduction to C Development Environment for Raspberry PICO," first.

Course Benefits: Embarking on this course will provide you with a robust understanding of FreeRTOS Kernel, preparing you for more complex projects and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. You'll learn by doing, building real-world applications that demonstrate the power and versatility of FreeRTOS Kernel on RP2040 boards.

• Real-World Application: Each project is designed to be immediately applicable to your own endeavors or serve as a valuable reference for understanding FreeRTOS's capabilities.
• Learning by Doing: With practical, hands-on examples, you'll see real-time multitasking in action.
• In-Depth Coverage: From basic tasks to sophisticated symmetric multiprocessing, this course leaves no stone unturned.
