        MikroElektronika (MIKROE), an embedded solutions company that dramatically reduces development time by providing innovative hardware and software products based on proven standards, today announced that Silicon Labs (NASDAQ: SLAB), a leader in providing secure, intelligent wireless technologies for a more connected world, is the first IC supplier to support the mikroSDK 2.0 Click Board. This was achieved by adding a hardware driver extension (plug-in) to MIKROE's Gecko SDK, which is now available in Silicon Labs' Simplicity Studio Unified Development Environment (IDE). The integration of MIKROE's Click drivers allows embedded engineers to use MIKROE peripheral Click boards to develop hardware and software for embedded systems based on Silicon Labs controllers.
 
 
        Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE, said: "Many IC suppliers now include the mikroBUS socket standard on their development boards, enabling developers to try out thousands of different Click Boards, saving hardware costs and design time. Now, for the first time, leading IC supplier Silicon Labs is making the mikroSDK 2.0 Click driver available in its Simplicity Studio GSDK unified development environment after including the mikroBUS socket in its very popular Explorer suite. This will enable designers using Silicon Labs SoCs and MCUs to easily include the Click Board library into their code. Meaning that engineers not only save time and money investment by using Click Board hardware, but also seamlessly complete software tasks." 
        Anders Pettesson, Director of Broad Marketing at Silicon Labs, added: "After working with MIKROE on the Click board project and seeing the possibilities of the ecosystem, we decided to bring this flexibility and ease of use to the Silicon Labs environment. By creating the mikroSDK 2.0 Click driver extension, we can now make it easy for embedded engineers to add thousands of peripherals to Silicon Labs' software projects." 
        Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE, concludes, "We are pleased to see that after mikroBUS and Click board, the embedded industry and our partners are now using the mikroSDK Click driver as well. This is a recognition of MIKROE's commitment to standardisation and time-saving efforts and proves that MIKROE engineers and developers can be trusted."
