Renesas Electronics launches out-of-the-box partner solutions

     Renesas Electronics, Inc., a leading global provider of semiconductor solutions, announced the launch of the first 10 partner solutions to support the 32-bit Arm® Cortex-M microcontrollers (MCUS) of the Renesas Advanced (RA) product family. RA MCU optimizes system performance and ease of use with its Flexible Software Package (FSP) and partner module solutions, enabling users to solve a variety of Internet of Things (IoT) end-use or edge computing applications out of the box.

     The RA MCU ecosystem currently has more than 30 partners and plans to continue investing. Each partner's module solution will be marked with the "RA READY" logo, designed to solve customers' challenges in real-world applications. Accelerate time-to-market with RA-enabled plug-and-play solutions that enable a variety of different IoT applications such as security, connectivity, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and human machine interface (HMI). As an open architecture, RA FSP allows users to reuse their legacy code and combine it with software examples from Renesas and ecosystem partners to easily implement complex IoT functions.

     Kaushal Vora, Director of Strategic Partnerships and Global Ecosystems at Renesas Electronics, said: "Over the past few years, the explosion of iot applications has exponentially increased the complexity of embedded design. Due to the dynamic nature of iot devices, coupled with growing design requirements and shortening project schedules, it is difficult for designers to deliver competitive functional products in a timely manner. "Now more than ever, customers need a flexible approach to platform design, pre-researched with out-of-the-box modular components."

     Rolf Segger, founder of Segger, said: "We are excited to work closely with Renesas to bring to market a range of solutions that can support RA and accelerate the development of the Internet of Things. Our emWin embedded GUI software, emCrypt, emSecure and Flasher Secure security software, embOS RTOS, and middleware give designers all the tools they need to build products."
