I'm afraid I don't understand what you are requesting and I hope that
someone else understand more clearly. But I'll still explain my
understanding.
You want to run a RTOS upon Linux OS, doesn't make it too much OSes?
Then I have several questions:
Do you really need a Real Time Operating System, can't you run your
project in Linux userspace?
Have you tried Linux RTOS extension (again I'm no expert and haven't
tried them but you can look at Xenomai)?
FreeRTOS is a standalone OS and depending on your system there may be
an example running on your architecture in parallel of your embedded
Linux. For example, on one of my project with have an ARM Cortex-A7
with a Linux running in Normal World and FreeRTOS running in Trusted
world.
