CMSIS RTX Support

Hi Silabs team,

Thanks for USB Device support. It's a big key feature really simple to use in mbed.

My new question is about CMSIS RTX Support (part of RTOS library). This layer needs few defines to activate support for a new chip (Clock, stack size and pointer, ...) These configurations are not done for EFM32 targets, is there a good reason ? It seems that Mbed OS beta will be released in few days, will it includes new Thread / Mutex /Semaphores handling ? Are you working on this new layer and so the RTX port for EFM32 chips is not relevant ?

Thanks,

Hi Martin,

I'm glad you appreciate our USBDevice implementation! You are correct in that there currently is no RTX support for EFM32 targets. This is something we haven't looked into yet, but we certainly do appreciate the feedback, and will add it to our list of desired features.

As for mbedOS, we can't say anything specific about it yet. Sorry for that.

Accepted Answer

Thanks Steven. I will so wait for beta release and see what can be used.

Isn't adding RTOS support fairly simple? And from whatever is known of mbedOS it is not a replacement for a simple RTOS.
