Most of the initial CHERI-FreeRTOS development took place at the University of Cambridge.
While this work introduced the concept of compartmentalisation, the project hasn't been updated in over five years and has fallen behind the official FreeRTOS releases.

Probably worth mentioning that the compartmentalization idea went on to live in CHERIoR RTOS.

Most of the initial CHERI-FreeRTOS development took place at the University of Cambridge.

The [CHERI-Alliance FreeRTOS working group](https://cheri-alliance.org/who-we-are/working-groups/cheri-freertos/) has recently created a new fork, focusing on a simple and clean set of patches in the hopes that they can be pushed upstream in the near future.
