The Renesas Synergy Platform is an easy-to-use, qualified platform designed to accelerate time-to-market, reduce TCO and remove many of the obstacles engineers face as they develop products for the IoT and industrial markets. The Renesas Synergy Platform achieves this by using an innovative approach to new product design that lets embedded systems engineers start product development at the API level, giving them more time to design innovative and differentiated features.

The Renesas Synergy Platform integrates qualified software with a new family of MCUs and an ecosystem of tools and support options into one scalable and secure platform. It includes all rights and benefits to enable rich software development for an unlimited number of end products. There is no need to purchase third-party commercial RTOS, communication stacks (TCP/IP, USB), file systems, graphic user interfaces and their associated development tools as they are included in the platform.

As the Renesas Synergy Platform is a fully integrated product and not a set of separately sourced software and hardware components, Renesas provides technical support and licensing for the platform. This reduces the cost and time overhead required to manage relationships with different hardware and software component manufacturers.

Ali Sebt, Senior Vice President, Renesas, comments: “Engineering teams used to spend valuable development time writing software ranging from low-level peripheral drivers to complex communication and speciality stacks. This resulted in months of engineering resources spent integrating, testing and maintaining software that didn’t differentiate the end-product in the market. By enabling engineers to start design at the software API level and enjoy a real-time control system without the need to build any baseline functionality, the Renesas Synergy platform accelerates embedded development, inspires innovation and enables differentiation.”

“With this unique platform, Renesas will enable European designers to accelerate their embedded designs, allowing more time for innovation and differentiation” added Michael Hannawald, General Manager, Renesas. “This software-first approach will make developing devices for the IoT, industrial and other markets easier by taking care of the low-level embedded software, real-time event management, secure connectivity, power management and the robust GUIs needed.”

Selected customers are now evaluating the platform. General availability of the first products in the Renesas Synergy Platform is scheduled for Q4 CY 2015.
