+FreeRTOS Example
+
+This application utilizes FreeRTOS to perform a variety of tasks in a
+concurrent fashion. The following tasks are created:
+
+* An lwIP task, which serves up web pages via the Ethernet interface. This
+ is actually two tasks, one which runs the lwIP stack and one which
+ manages the Ethernet interface (sending and receiving raw packets).
+
+* An LED task, which simply blinks the on-board LED at a user-controllable
+ rate (changed via the web interface).
+
+* A set of spider tasks, each of which controls a spider that crawls around
+ the LCD. The speed at which the spiders move is controllable via the web
+ interface. Up to thirty-two spider tasks can be run concurrently (an
+ application-imposed limit).
+
+* A spider control task, which manages presses on the touch screen and
+ determines if a spider task should be terminated (if the spider is
+ ``squished'') or if a new spider task should be created (if no spider is
+ ``squished'').
+
+* There is an automatically created idle task, which monitors changes in
+ the board's IP address and sends those changes to the user via a UART
+ message.
+
+Across the bottom of the LCD, several status items are displayed: the
+amount of time the application has been running, the number of tasks that
+are running, the IP address of the board, the number of Ethernet packets
+that have been transmitted, and the number of Ethernet packets that have
+been received.
+
+The finder application (in tools/finder) can also be used to discover the
+IP address of the board. The finder application will search the network
+for all boards that respond to its requests and display information about
+them.
+
+The web site served by lwIP includes the ability to adjust the toggle rate
+of the LED task and the update speed of the spiders (all spiders move at
+the same speed).
