It's similar if you look only at the very basic Kernel but things can be much more complex, painful and they may already have known problems

Some examples

1.) ARM Security/protection ring system usually at least two levels EL0 and EL1 and possibly EL2 & EL3 on an ARM8.
As an example FreeRTOS was not designed with those in mind, none of the existing ports will utilize the scheme with any intelligence.

2.) Multicore support on ARM cpus like ARM7 & ARM8.
You usually have to bring the MMU up to get cache coherency and that often means memory virtualization will need to be operating. For example on Free-RTOS I know of only a simple SMP port on a multicore system, no AMP and no BMP implementations. So FreeRTOS was not designed in an era with multicore support in mind.

3.) Multiple implementations which adds a whole complexity as your implementation becomes one of x number and not the most efficient or best suited to your CPU. You may struggle with massive code complexity on code that may not even compile in your implementation

If you are on a multicore cpu like a cortex-a53 points 1 & 2 will probably cause you a great deal of problem. That is why there are no real fully functional ports of Free-RTOS on things like Raspberry Pi 3 and beagle board blacks (there are a couple of half functional ports). So Free-RTOS is easy to port for simple single CPU it is harder to port and often at odds with how you want to operate complex multicore CPU's. Hence we come back to the problem what CPU are you talking about?

I would also add FreeRTOS has some obvious shortcomings of features you may like, like no concept of task aging etc (Aging (scheduling) - Wikipedia[^]

As with everything you are better of playing and working out what is a good system rather than mindlessly porting some system and not understanding it properly. So I might for example port FreeRTOS on a simple ARM5 or 6 cpu but I wouldn't bother about it on an ARM8 the later being far to different for what Free-RTOS was designed around.

Again I say if we know what CPU we are dealing with it is easier to make more detailed and helpful suggestions.
