Priority Each task is assigned a priority from 0 to (configMAX_PRIORITIES – 1 ), (configMAX_PRIORITIES is defined  in FreeRTOSConfig.h). Low priority numbers denote low priority tasks. The idle task has priority zero (tskIDLE_PRIORITY). The task placed into the Running state by the scheduler is always the highest priority task that is able to run – higher priority tasks […]
