  • FreeRTOS

    'Classic' FreeRTOS distribution. Started as Git clone of FreeRTOS SourceForge SVN repo. Submodules the kernel.

    Once you have the prerequisite tools installed, proceed by cloning the source code we will be working with. From the command line, navigate to a folder where you would like to clone the FreeRTOS repository with the demo code, such as $ cd $HOME/Projects as an example. Then, go ahead and clone the FreeRTOS repository from GitHub like this:

  • QEMU

    Official QEMU mirror. Please see https://www.qemu.org/contribute/ for how to submit changes to QEMU. Pull Requests are ignored. Please only use release tarballs from the QEMU website.

    In this post, I will step through an example setup that shows how to debug a FreeRTOS application in the Visual Studio Code (VSCode) editor using QEMU to emulate an Arm Cortex-M3 microcontroller. No actual hardware is required for this example, except a laptop or desktop as your development environment.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Chocolatey

    Chocolatey - the package manager for Windows

    a. On Windows, you can install 'make' using Chocolatey at the Command Prompt with this command: > choco install make

  • HomeBrew

    🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

    b. On MacOS, you can install 'make' using Homebrew in the Terminal app with this command $ brew install make
