FreeRTOS, PIC32MZ, and Harmony

I am doing EARLY research on my Next Big Thing. The MZ series looks great. Now, I just stumbled across Harmony. I am getting a developer board from Microchip. So, my questions are… Is Harmony ready for prime time? Rather have opinions from here rather than Microchip. 🙂 Realistically, when will chips go on the market? I have used FreeRTOS on MX series of PIC32, so is there any learning curve for me with Harmony or is it all under the covers of FreeRTOS? Does Harmony mean I dont need to buy FreeRTOS+ TCPIP Library? Even though I am a complete noob at TCPIP? Is anybody out there actually designing their next project based on Harmony? thanks!!!

Harmony is NOT ready for prime time, 1.0 release due in a few weeks (we hope) I have FreeRTOS 7.x running with serial support, new USB stack will support chip when its released I have parts from Microchip in 12×12 package running on my boards My board runs FreeRTOS demo just fine, with minor changes to support board I/O changes, I added back serial testing to the demo… A unit has been running the demo here for over 60 day now, with out an error. My serial driver are on the FreeRTOS site On Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 8:19 AM, Robert H. Oujesky roujesky@users.sf.netwrote:

Thanks for the honest opinions. This is the kind of information I am looking for. Time is money for us. Using the FreeRTOS+ products vs. me creating TCPIP and HTTP functionality becomes a no-brainer. thanks again!!!
