Azure RTOS has been integrated to the semiconductor's SDKs and development environment. You can develop using the tools of choice from [STMicroelectronics](https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/campaigns/x-cube-azrtos-azure-rtos-stm32.html), [NXP](https://www.nxp.com/design/software/embedded-software/azure-rtos-for-nxp-microcontrollers:AZURE-RTOS), [Renesas](https://github.com/renesas/azure-rtos) and [Microchip](https://mu.microchip.com/get-started-simplifying-your-iot-design-with-azure-rtos).

## Adaptation layer for ThreadX

Azure RTOS ThreadX is an advanced real-time operating system (RTOS) designed specifically for deeply embedded applications. To help ease application migration to Azure RTOS, ThreadX provides [adaption layers](https://github.com/azure-rtos/threadx/tree/master/utility/rtos_compatibility_layers) for various legacy RTOS APIs (FreeRTOS, POSIX, OSEK, etc.).

## Component dependencies

The main components of Azure RTOS are each provided in their own repository, but there are dependencies between them, as shown in the following graph. This is important to understand when setting up your builds.

### Building and using the library

1. Cloning the repo

```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/azure-rtos/threadx.git
$ git clone https://github.com/eclipse-threadx/threadx.git
```

1. Define the features and addons you need in `tx_user.h` and build together with the component source code. You can refer to [`tx_user_sample.h`](https://github.com/azure-rtos/threadx/blob/master/common/inc/tx_user_sample.h) as an example.

1. Building as a static library

Each component of Azure RTOS comes with a composable CMake-based build system that supports many different MCUs and host systems. Integrating any of these components into your device app code is as simple as adding a git submodule and then including it in your build using the CMake `add_subdirectory()`.

While the typical usage pattern is to include ThreadX into your device code source tree to be built & linked with your code, you can compile this project as a standalone static library to confirm your build is set up correctly.

## Security

Azure RTOS provides OEMs with components to secure communication and to create code and data isolation using underlying MCU/MPU hardware protection mechanisms. It is ultimately the responsibility of the device builder to ensure the device fully meets the evolving security requirements associated with its specific use case.
