Introduction to RTOS Part 2 - Getting Started with FreeRTOS | DigiKey

FreeRTOS is a free and open source real-time operating system (RTOS) owned and maintained by Amazon.

In this video, we talk about how a task is created in FreeRTOS using the ESP32 and Arduino. A task in FreeRTOS is similar to a thread in other multi-threaded environments (e.g. POSIX). It is a unit of CPU utilization designed to accomplish some goal. For our purposes, we just want to create a new thread and toggle an LED.
