ESP32 IDF RTOS SDK vs NON-OS SDK

[toxadi]

Hello all,

What are the main advntages-disadvantages for the OS or NON-OS version? Ok, I understand the consept of tasks and how an operating system works, context switching, mutexes etc but are there limitations, or more support in one of the two options.

There has to be a strategic decision on how to implement a simple app with a couple of sensors that uploads data through bluetooth to a mobile app. So what would you suggest?

Thanks

Erm... for the esp32, the choice is very simple: there is no non-os SDK. Only ESP-IDF, and that uses FreeRTOS under the hood.

Once you use FreeRTOS (or other RTOS) you will never go back to bare metal. There is a few hours of learning curve, but you will understand it very quickly.
