UG235.05: Using Micrium OS (RTOS) with

Silicon Labs Connect v2.x

This chapter of the Connect v2.x User’s Guide describes how to

run the Silicon Labs Connect stack on top of the Micrium OS ker-

nel, a full-featured real-time operating system (RTOS) for embed-

ded systems. The Connect stack is delivered as part of the Silicon

Labs Proprietary Flex SDK. The Connect v2.x User’s Guide as-

sumes that you have already installed the Simplicity Studio devel-

opment environment and the Flex SDK, and that you are familiar

with the basics of configuring, compiling, and flashing Connect-

based applications. Refer to UG235.01: Developing Code with Sil-

icon Labs Connect v2.x for an overview of the chapters in the

Connect v2.x User’s Guide.

The Connect v2.x User’s Guide is a series of documents that provides in-depth informa-

tion for developers who are using the Silicon Labs Connect Stack for their application

development. If you are new to Connect and the Proprietary Flex SDK, see QSG138:

Proprietary Flex SDK v2.x Quick Start Guide.

Proprietary is supported on all EFR32FG devices. For others, check the device's data

sheet under Ordering Information > Protocol Stack to see if Proprietary is supported. In

Proprietary SDK version 2.7.n, Connect is not supported on EFR32xG22.
