• OS

  • Add RT-Thread 3.1.3 as a new RTOS service of Nuclei SDK, the kernel source code is from RT-Thread Nano project.
  • Update UCOSII source code from version V2.91 to V2.93
  • The source code of UCOSII is fetched from https://github.com/SiliconLabs/uC-OS2/
  • Warning: Now for UCOSII application development, the app_cfg.h, os_cfg.h and app_hooks.c are required, which can be also found in https://github.com/SiliconLabs/uC-OS2/tree/master/Cfg/Template

• Application

  • Add RT-Thread demo application.
  • Don't use the get_cpu_freq function in application code, which currently is only for internal usage, and not all SoC implementations are required to provide this function.
  • Use SystemCoreClock to get the CPU frequency instead of using get_cpu_freq() in whetstone application.
  • Update UCOSII applications due to UCOSII version upgrade, and application development for UCOSII also required little changes, please refer to :ref:design_rtos_ucosii
  • Fix time_in_secs function error in coremark, and cleanup coremark application.

• Documentation

  • Add documentation about RT-Thread and its application development.
  • Update documentation about UCOSII and its application development.
  • Update coremark application documentation.
