I have several options that are really dependent on what development board you are using.
I will start off with the generic: this is the official FreeRTOS kernal from their website: http://sourceforge.net/projects/freertos/files/latest/download?source=files. You can download it and utilize their quick start guide here as needed: FreeRTOS - Quick start guide.
The specifics here will really depend on what you're using, so I'll give a few options just in case:
I have used a NXP LPC1758 on a custom development board (SJ One Board) with FreeRTOS ( Smart Planter Project on LPC1758) and I found them to work well together. This is the development package I used for my project: ARM Development Package. Download the zip file and unzip it under your C drive. Use the Eclipse32_Emb.bat and there will be sample projects available on the left bar of Eclipse. The package has LPC17xx driver libraries and FreeRTOS preloaded so it's a quick way to start off a project. Some of the other drivers are written specifically for the SJ One so depending on what you're doing you can delete or modify for your needs.
If you want to see a few more projects that used this development package I recommend you take a look here: Realtime OS on Embedded Systems - Embedded Systems Learning Academy
(scroll down to semester projects).
If you are talking about the mbed board: ARM mbed LPC1768 Board and using the online mbed compiler, adding FreeRTOS is fairly easy. Under your project in the compiler, go to import and search "freertos". Import this library.
Make sure to include "FreeRTOS.h" in your project!
If there is a specific board or environment you would like to see added or more detail on getting started with FreeRTOS just let me know!
