<a name="porting-set-up-project"></a>

Follow the steps below to set up your workspace and project:
+ Use a project structure and build system of your choice to import the FreeRTOS libraries.
+ Create a project using an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and toolchain supported by your board.
+ Include the board support packages (BSP) and board-specific drivers in your project.

Once your workspace is set up, you can start porting individual FreeRTOS libraries.
