January 2024 saw the launch of FreeRTOS Kernel V11 which at last merges SMP and main code body. So dual core firmware on the Raspberry Pi Pico became even easier to do.
In this Video I want to celebrate the launch of FreeRTOS Kernel V11 with a simple set of examples. They will all see how many times they can calculate the value of PI to 1000 decimal places within a minute. Comparing FreeRTOS Kernel with SDK Bare metal in 1-core and 2-core approaches.
A repo of my experiments is available.
If you want to know more about FreeRTOS Kernel for the Raspberry PI Pico then I have a course available on Udemy.
