Platform kick-starts ecosystem growth engine

This content helps developers solve real application challenges, and cost effectively speed their IoT products to market.

The Synergy Gallery hosts VSA and Partner Project software components with a simple business model. Developers can browse, select, and download third-party software with no upfront fees, using simple click-through licensing. Renesas pre-tests and verifies third-party VSA software to ensure interoperability with Synergy software, while each partner tests and substantiates their Partner Project software to meet Renesas Synergy software compatibility requirements. The Synergy Gallery provides evaluation versions of commercially licensed third-party software, and developers can acquire the license directly from the third party.

“The IoT is enabled by many forms of connectivity and complex layered security, but developers should not be burdened with the implementation details. Since Synergy is a platform, it can accommodate partner solutions to meet specific customer needs,” said Peter Carbone, Vice President of Synergy Platform Business Division, Renesas Electronics Corporation. “Every customer has different security and connectivity requirements, which is why we view our third-party partners as the accelerant that’s making the IoT explode.”
