Micrium is a producer of RTOS for microprocessors, microcontrollers and DSP-based devices.

“IoT products are increasingly defined by software. Explosive growth of memory/processor capabilities in low-end embedded products is driving a greater need for RTOS software in connected device applications,” said Daniel Cooley, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Silicon Labs’ IoT products. “The acquisition of Micrium means that connected device makers will have easier access to a proven embedded RTOS geared toward multiprotocol silicon, software and solutions from Silicon Labs.”
