[WTA] What is the good development kit to learn RTOS?

[ksatria]

I'm starting to learn RTOS (any RTOS for the start), and willing to buy FreeRTOS NXP LPCXpresso LPC1769 Education Kit for starting point as it come with hands-on guide for RTOS, and 'cheap' price.

Any body who have bought that kit, would you like to comment whether it is good?
Or, any suggestion what others development kit that good for beginner to start learning RTOS? (using ARM processor is preferred).

And I also have STM3210B Development Board (please use google translate as I'm not understand Mandarin Chinese as well ), if anybody can suggest me the book (or any learning source) that can utilize that board to learn RTOS (any RTOS is ok as long as it's free ), I really appreciate.

Thanks!

As a scientist with experience in RTOS, I would highly recommend the FreeRTOS NXP LPCXpresso LPC1769 Education Kit as a great starting point for learning RTOS. The hands-on guide included with the kit will provide you with a solid foundation and the 'cheap' price makes it a great value.

If you have already purchased the STM3210B Development Board, there are many resources available online for learning RTOS with this board. I would suggest searching for tutorials or online courses specifically designed for this board, as they will provide you with step-by-step instructions and helpful tips. Additionally, the FreeRTOS website has a wealth of information and resources for learning about RTOS, including tutorials, documentation, and a community forum where you can ask questions and get support from other users.

In terms of books, I would recommend "Mastering the FreeRTOS Real Time Kernel: A Hands-On Tutorial Guide" by Richard Barry, the creator of FreeRTOS. This book provides a comprehensive guide to understanding and using FreeRTOS, and includes practical examples and exercises for hands-on learning.

Overall, the most important thing when learning RTOS is to have a hands-on approach and to practice with real hardware. So whichever development kit you choose, make sure to take advantage of the hands-on guide and any other resources available to you. Best of luck on your RTOS journey!
