How do I add FreeRTOS support in the C2000 blockset (TMS320F28388x) in MATLAB?"

I am using the C2000 blockset for TMS320F28388x-based development. I want to add a FreeRTOS configuration block in Simulink so that RTOS-related configurations can be done through the Simulink library block.

I am using matlab 2023a version and C2000 blockset v4.0.0.0.

I am unable to find the FreeRTOS configuration block in the C2000 blockset. Could you please help me with configuring FreeRTOS through a Simulink block?

Hi @Vikram,

Simulink currently does not seem to offer support to integrate FreeRTOS with the C2000 Microcontroller Blockset. A similar query to yours has been answered in the following link:

I hope this answers your question!

Matlab Simulink and TI Friends and Family,

From a TI perspective, we have basic support for FreeRTOS in the TI C2000Ware SD, but may not yet include any model-based implementation at this time. It looks like Simulink has some scheduling features but nothing FreeRTOS-based as far as I can tell.

Now one can find this on the Matlab website which you’ve all probably found before too:

Getting Started with Texas Instruments C2000 Microcontroller Blockset - MATLAB & Simulink

It has an [C2000] F28388D dual core example , within Simulink Model Composer , and although it doesn’t explicitly show, I’m guessing it uses already or can use TI-RTOS. If we can together find something more to work with, whether it be freeRTOS-based, TI-RTOS or whatever…that would be very helpful here.

Does anyone know of a TI C2000 example using freeRTOS (or TI-RTOS) within the Matlab Simulink Model Composer tools?

TY,
