It is professionally developed, <a href="http://www.freertos.org/FreeRTOS-Coding-Standard-and-Style-Guide.html" target="_blank">strictly quality controlled</a>, robust, <a href="http://www.freertos.org/FreeRTOS_Support_Forum_Archive/freertos_support_forum_archive_index.html" target="_blank">supported</a>, free to <a href="http://www.freertos.org/a00114.html" target="_blank">use in commercial products</a> without a requirement to expose proprietary source code, and has <a href="http://www.freertos.org/differences-between-officially-supported-and-contributed-FreeRTOS-code.html" target="_blank">no IP infringement</a> risk.</p>
115 <p><a href="https://arm-software.github.io/CMSIS_5/RTOS2/html/index.html"><b>CMSIS-RTOS v2</b></a> is a common API for real-time operating systems (RTOS). It provides a standardized programming interface that is portable to many RTOS and enables software components that can work across multiple RTOS systems. It supports the ARMv8-M architecture, dynamic object creation, for multi-core systems, and has a binary compatible interface across ABI compliant compilers.</p>
116 <p>Using this software pack, users can choose between a native FreeRTOS implementation or one that is adhering to the CMSIS-RTOS2 API and using FreeRTOS under the hood. The CMSIS-RTOS2 API enables programmers to create portable application code to be used with different RTOS kernels (for example <a href="http://www.keil.com/mdk5/cmsis/rtx" class="el">Keil RTX5</a>).</p>
117 <p><b>Note:</b> FreeRTOS does not support ARM Compiler v6, yet! Please refere to the <a href="http://www.freertos.org/FreeRTOS_Support_Forum_Archive/May_2016/freertos_Anyone_Working_on_a_Port_to_Keil_ARM_Compiler_6.4_ARMCLANG_9deb244ej.html" target="_blank">FreeRTOS Support Archive.</a></p>
