Building FreeRTOS for x86

I read online that it was possible to build FreeRTOS on Windows for an external device. Can you build it for x86 on ubuntu?

Thanks

Solution

  • According to the FreeRTOS ports page the supported tools for x86 builds are:

    • Visual Studio 2010 Express
    • MingW
    • Open Watcom
    • Borland
    • Paradigm

    so the answer to your question would appear to be no.

    Since the above are all Windows-based tools I would guess that you need a Windows PC to build an x86 version of FreeRTOS, although you might be able to use an emulator such as WINE under Ubuntu.
