Micrium OS Description
A kernel is the core of any embedded OS. It provides crucial task scheduling and multitasking services that ensure your application code's timing requirements can be met. You also regularly update and add new features to that code. Micrium OS is much more than a kernel. It provides a variety of modules that can be used to meet your project's requirements. Micrium OS is completely free to use on Silicon Labs EFM32 or EFR32 devices. Micrium OS can be added to your projects immediately without any licensing fees.

MIPS Embedded OS (MEOS)
We work with commercial and open-source partners to provide MIPS support to many popular Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS), and the new generation IoT-specific Operating Systems. We also developed the MIPS Embedded Operating System, (MEOS), with Virtualization extensions. This targets embedded applications and the IoT area. MEOS is MIPS' internal real-time operating software (RTOS). It is the only operating system that supports new architecture features and cores, as it is in-house. Version 3.1 of MEOS contains a virtualization library that extends MEOS to a hypervisor for MIPS cores that implement the MIPS Virtualization module. We will donate engineering resources or provide development hardware and tools to assist in the development of open-source real time/IoT operating system.
