Is your feature request related to a problem?

I was browsing through the Arduino libraries, learning how xTaskCreate is used and noticed the BLE library includes https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/libraries/BLE/src/FreeRTOS.cpp and https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/libraries/BLE/src/RTOS.h. I believe this functionality already exists in the IDF and is duplicated here.

Describe the solution you'd like

Remove FreeRTOS.cpp and RTOS.h. Reference native functions instead.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Current code works but likely takes more space, and FreeRTOS definitions may diverge from IDF.

@mrengineer7777 - Thanks for noticing and reporting it!
I'll change it to use just one single FreeRTOS version.

When removing BLE...FreeRTOS.cpp, you may also need to update

arduino-esp32/CMakeLists.txt

Line 167 in d342739

[me-no-dev]

those files come from the original library that Neil Colban created. There might be some functionality that is needed there. Maybe just rename it to something more sane?

I'll compare the local RTOS.h and local FreeRTOS.cpp to the current IDF version.
So far it seems to be just a namespace issue.
I'll report here the conclusions.
