This video explains how to create a FreeRTOS task, using the ESP32 and the Arduino core.

Update: In the video, it was mentioned that the StackDepth was specified in words, like documented in the FreeRTOS xTaskCreate page. Nonetheless, IDF’s version differs from the original implementation and the stack depth is actually specified in bytes, as indicated in IDF’s documentation: docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-guides/freertos-smp.html#tasks-and-task-creation
