Raspberry Pi Pico FreeRTOS Shell Example Application

This repository showcases an example usage of pico_freertos_shell - a FreeRTOS module that allows you to add an interactive shell with custom commands to your application.

Compiling the application

NOTE: This example assumes that this repository is in the same folder as FreeRTOS-Kernel and pico-sdk. If not, change the PICO_SDK_PATH and FREERTOS_KERNEL_PATH variables in the CMakeLists.txt file accordingly.

NOTE: This example targets the pico_w board but can also be built for the pico board.

To compile the application, run the following commands:

# these commands may vary depending on the OS
mkdir build/
cd build
cmake .. && make -j

NOTE: please refer to the pico_freertos_shell's main CMakeLists.txt file for a list of available compile time CMake options.

Running the application

Flash the board using generated binary file. Open your serial terminal (e.g. minicom, picocom, putty) and a shell prompt should appear. Type help or helptree for a list of available commads. Try some example commands:

• helloworld arg1 "arg with a space"
• helptree variable
• variable read
• variable set 123
• reboot 1000
