Choosing a build system for firmware feels like a taste question and is not. The real question underneath it is who owns the generated code, and it has consequences that outlive the project: whether a colleague can build your firmware without installing an IDE, whether CI can build it at all, and whether the day you need to change a pin assignment costs ten minutes or a merge conflict across forty files you did not write.

Everything up to here has treated the RTOS as a library. FreeRTOS is a handful of .c files you add to a project you already own: you keep your linker script, your startup code, your CubeMX-generated HAL_Init(), your main(). The kernel schedules; you do everything else. Swapping FreeRTOS for ThreadX would change the function names and almost nothing structural.
