In this tutorial we will see how to setup the Arduino IDE for FreeRTOS.
FreeRTOS libraries can be directly installed from boardManager, this works for latest Arduino IDE 1.6.8.
In case you are using the older version of IDE(1.6.5), then you have to copy the files to your sketch library folder.
Lets see how to do it for both the version of IDE's.
