No.
It’s included by default in the ESP32 core.

Don’t you need an #include statement in source code for the RTOS library?

Hi.
I think it doesn’t make much different.

Hi.
Can you try using a different GPIO with an LED connected to it?

Can you send a link to your board? Does it have the same pinout as ours?

Regards,
Sara

Hi.
I’m using the Esp32DevKitv1. My LED is on pin D2, but it blinks only once and then nothing. It compiles and uploads fine, but it blinks only once also displays that only once to the serial monitor. What could the issue? I’m using Arduino IDE 2.3.6. Please help?

I have been going through the Random Nerd Tutorials on FreeRTOS on the ESP32. In my efforts to learn as much as I can about the FreeRTOS, I have come across the following additional information: This stuff is not simple. Here is a document anyone wanting to learn as much as they can, should probably read: (It can be found here: freertos.org/) (There is also a Reference Manual) Mastering the FreeRTOS Real Time Kernel A Hands-On Tutorial Guide Richard Barry -and- The FreeRTOS Team Release Version - 1.1.0 In Section 3.1.1 Prerequisites, Richard Barry says: "Being a competent C programmer is a prerequisite for using FreeRTOS..." Of course, that is only part of it -- one must also grasp all of the complex topics associated with real-time programming as well as the ESP32's implementation of resources to assist in real-time programming.

In reply to Miza.

Hi.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I need to start thinking about it.
