The Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) is a family of standards specified by the IEEE Computer Society for maintaining compatibility between operating systems. FreeRTOS+POSIX implements a small subset of the POSIX threading API. This subset allows application developers familiar with POSIX API to develop a FreeRTOS application using POSIX like threading primitives. FreeRTOS+POSIX does not implement more than 80% of the POSIX API. Therefore, an existing POSIX compliant application or a POSIX compliant library cannot be ported to run on FreeRTOS Kernel using only this wrapper.
This repository only contains source code. For demo applications, please visit https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Labs.
This fork of FreeRTOS+POSIX repository is consumed by MCU+ SDK as a submodule. It is used for building the FreeRTOS Kernel Libraries for different cores (R5, M4, A53, C66). This enables one to use POSIX APIs in the application using the FreeRTOS Kernel. Please refer MCU+ SDK Git Repository for documentation and instructions to setup the build.
