Amazon FreeRTOS kernel differs from FreeRTOS?

There are differences between the Amazon FreeRTOS kernel and FreeRTOS. For example, taking version 1.4.0 of Amazon FreeRTOS (https://github.com/aws/amazon-freertos/tree/v1.4.0) I find that the kernel version contained is 10.0.1 (see https://github.com/aws/amazon-freertos/blob/v1.4.0/lib/include/task.h#L46). This file differs from the one found on the official repository (see https://sourceforge.net/p/freertos/code/HEAD/tree/tags/V10.0.1/FreeRTOS/Source/include/task.h). There are two more function prototypes: xTaskGetIdleTickCount() and xTaskGetIdleTickCountFromISR(). So I assume that the teams that develop FreeRTOS and Amazon FreeRTOS are different. But why not port patches from one project to another? I understood that Amazon FreeRTOS was a collection of middleware and libraries over an “official” FreeRTOS kernel. best regards Max

The tagged versions should be the same. That is, the version in SourceForge that is tagged to a particular version number should be the same as that in the AWS repository that has the same kernel version number in th kernel source files. From your post is sounds like that is not the case, and if so, would seem to be a mistake. I will investigate and let you know….

I actually did a diff on the version provided as part of the release in Gituhub earlier this week. I found a couple of changes where the order of include files was checked by the preprocessor in the stream/message buffer files, which I copied into the SVN version (but not checked in yet) – but that was about all (as I recall – in any case – anything I found will be in SVN too). They will be become submodules of each other to automate keeping in sync! I have actually started to bring in a subset of other aws Github libs into SVN already (just infrastructure so far, as a first step – https://sourceforge.net/p/freertos/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/FreeRTOS-Plus/Source/FreeRTOS-Plus-IoT-SDK/ ) which makes the need to link to rather than copy more important.
