The MPUs are able to drive displays up to 1280×768 pixels resolution without the need for external RAM.
The Renesas Starter Kit features a development board with the MPU itself as well as connectors for CAN, Ethernet, camera interface, audio interface, SD card, USB 2.0 host and USB 2.0 function. In addition, it also includes a SEGGER J-Link Lite JTAG debugger, universal power supply and a PMOD debug screen to assist with application debugging. The kit is supplied with a 7-inch WVGA touch panel screen, so that systems designers can develop their own GUI directly on the development board.
Software support comes in the shape of ARM IAR IDE and the ARM DS-5 IDE. A free GCC compiler, supplied with the kit, enables programming to start immediately without additional costs for special software tools. More than a dozen different software examples that, including source code, will be available free to developers, ensure additional time and cost savings.
