The problem I've found is too few useful compilable examples on how to get started. The <a href="http://www.freertos.org/tutorial/index.html">FreeRTOS tutorial</a> is complicated and theoretical. It doesn't leave you with any working running code. The <a href="http://www.FreeRTOS.org/RTOS_Demo_STM32_Primer_Ride.html">Officially Supported demo for STM32</a> works, but it's way too complicated, and assumes you have lots of hardware. Not a great way to get started. Maple itself comes with a tragically simple <a href="https://github.com/leaflabs/libmaple/blob/master/examples/freertos-blinky.cpp">freertos-blinky.cpp</a>, but all it does is show you how to blink the LED. What's next??</p> <p>Fortunately, I came across a page of <a href="http://senstools.gforge.inria.fr/doku.php?id=os:freertos:examples">FreeRTOS examples for WSN430</a>. These progressively introduce more useful concepts. To help out other Maple users, I've ported them to Maple and added them to the FreeRTOS library as examples. They are available as a <a href="https://github.com/leaflabs/libmaple/pull/36">pull request</a> on libmaple at github.com. </p>
