FreeRTOS is a real-time operating system for embedded systems. It has been widely ported to many architecture platforms due to its compact size and being distributed under free open source licensing. This application report is a continuation of the application report Developing Common Applications With FreeRTOS on TM4C MCUs and provides additional examples for the USB and Ethernet peripherals to demonstrate how to use the FreeRTOS kernel on the Texas Instruments TM4C family of Arm® Cortex®-M4F microcontrollers.
The source code for all example projects discussed in this application report can be downloaded from the following link http://www.ti.com/lit/zip/spma087.

The microcontroller market continues to see a steady increase in the utilization of embedded real-time operating systems (RTOS) to manage applications. The increased focus and need for RTOS solutions has led to a number of open source RTOS offerings including the widely used FreeRTOS. To address the growing need for FreeRTOS support on the TM4C Arm Cortex-M4F microcontroller series, a series of application reports have been released. Developing Basic Applications With FreeRTOS on TM4C MCU was the initial release and provides a set of fundamental application examples. Developing Common Applications With FreeRTOS on TM4C MCUs followed to expand the application coverage to highlight many commonly used TM4C peripherals. This final application report in the series will cover the more advanced USB and Ethernet peripherals.
Included with this application report are example projects for both the TM4C123x and the TM4C129x device families. These projects are based on the bare metal examples provided in the TivaWare Software Development Kit (SDK). The TivaWare™ SDK includes Driver Library (DriverLib) APIs for all peripherals that are the building blocks for any application on a TM4C microcontroller. The provided example projects demonstrate how to use DriverLib APIs within the FreeRTOS kernel to create simple real-world applications with various device peripherals. The peripherals that are demonstrated in this report are as follows.
The following steps demonstrate how to download the latest version of TivaWare and FreeRTOS. This section can be skipped if it was done previously.
