  complementary products.  THESE ARE LICENSED SEPARATELY FROM FreeRTOS although
  all contain open source options.  See the license files in each respective
  directory for information.
  
+ FreeRTOS-Plus/Demo contains pre-configured demo projects for the FreeRTOS-Plus 
  components.  Most demo projects run in a Windows environment using the 
  FreeRTOS windows simulator.  These are documented on the FreeRTOS web site

Further readme files are contains in sub-directories as appropriate.
  
The easiest way to use FreeRTOS is to start with one of the pre-configured demo 
application projects (found in the FreeRTOS/Demo directory).  That way you will
have the correct FreeRTOS source files included, and the correct include paths
configured.  Once a demo application is building and executing you can remove
the demo application file, and start to add in your own application source
files.
