Split from #320

• [x] Download FreeRTOS kernel and pull it into the AMDC-Firmware project locally
• [x] Follow AMDC Firmware tutorial, make new SDK workspace for rtos work
• [x] Follow this tutorial from FreeRTOS to make new BSP in Xilinx SDK
• [x] Start playing around with FreeRTOS concepts reviewed in #326
• [x] Commit to new rtos branch and push
• [x] Leave comment below on this issue of what was completed (and how)

Creating FreeRTOS Platform in Xilinx SDK

These were the steps I used:

1. Follow AMDC Building Firmware Tutorial as Normal
2. Open Vivado, Run TCL script, Generate Bitstream, Export Hardware, all as normal
3. Open SDK
4. CHANGE: When creating BSPs for CPU0 and CPU1, select freertos10_xilinx instead of standalone. Name the BSPs amdc_freertos_bsp_cpu0 and amdc_freertos_bsp_cpu1
5. Then follow the FreeRTOS Xilinx SDK tutorial to make a Hello, World! program here at creating an application project
6. File > New > Application Project, Name is freertos-hello-world
7. MAKE SURE OS Platform is changed to freertos10_xilinx
8. Verify correct hardware platform and processor are selected under Target Hardware
9. Under Target Software, choose to use one the newly-created BSP (for the CPU selected above), instead of creating a new one.
10. Click Next
11. Choose the template for FreeRTOS Hello World and click Finish
12. Import existing AMDC Projects into workspace
    • Will need to fix the common issues
    • Will also need to change all references to the BSPs in the app_cpu0, app_cpu1, and basic projects

Project compiles in Xilinx SDK, but when I try to set the Hello, World program to run on CPU1, and flash to the AMDC, I cannot tell if it's working.

What will I need to do to the FreeRTOS base code and the existing AMDC code to integrate them?

[codecubepi]

Note that this method of integrating FreeRTOS via the BSP has been replaced by integrating in the application layer, by adding the FreeRTOS submodule.

See #347 and #351.
