Hi, Renesas users. : )
I'm trying to use FreeRTOS on an H8S2378R to run an application with a GUI, and I have no idea how to begin with the software.
I have the hardware designed (Seiko RA167 WQVGA 4.3" TFT with touch screen, various supporting circuitry), but software's my weak point.
I need to figure out if I can get some software to develop a graphical menu-based application that will run on FreeRTOS and I need to figure out all the hardware requirements of what I want to do so I can specify the external memory in my circuit.
I also need to figure out how to use HEW (or possibly IAR) to put the user app in with the FreeRTOS and get it onto a chip so I can test my design. I can borrow a TFT Direct Drive Kit YLCDRSK2378 to develop software if that helps, before I lay out the PCB.
I want to work on this quickly, so I don't want to get lost wasting time trying methods that aren't going to work, which I tend to do a lot with software. I would appreciate any help you can give.
Thanks for your time.

If you need it quickly, as you mentioned in your post, then the best thing to do is have a consulting partner help you do the design.
If you go to this web page, and click on the Alliance Partner link on the left, you'll be able to search by expertise, geographical location and other factors.
