+## FreeRTOS+POSIX: Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX threading wrapper) for FreeRTOS
+
+The Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) is a family of standards specified by the IEEE Computer Society for maintaining compatibility between operating systems. FreeRTOS+POSIX implements a subset of the [POSIX threading](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/threads.html) API.
+
+With FreeRTOS+POSIX, an existing POSIX threading compliant application can be ported to run on the FreeRTOS kernel, and therefor leverage all the [Amazon FreeRTOS](https://www.freertos.org/FAQ_Amazon.html) functionality. Additionally, a library designed for use with POSIX threading compatible operating systems can be ported to FreeRTOS kernel based applications.
+
+For more on FreeRTOS+POSIX, please visit [freertos.org](https://www.freertos.org/FreeRTOS-Plus/FreeRTOS_Plus_POSIX/index.html)
+
+The demo project is located under ```FreeRTOS-Plus\Demo\FreeRTOS_Plus_POSIX_with_actor_Windows_Simulator```.
