Renesas Electronics Europe and SEGGER Microcontroller offer Commercial Software Packages Free of Charge for RX MCU Designs

This innovation support program adds maximum value to the RX MCU range, providing qualifying customers with free development boards and free market-leading software.

Renesas’ 32-bit RX microcontroller platform offers customers a broad product spectrum, with 32K-2MB on-chip Flash memory and 8-256KB on-chip SRAM in 48-177 pin packages. Maximum compatibility across the range is guaranteed by a common core, common IP and common development tools.

With SEGGER’s software, the offering to RX customers includes one of the most reliable and proven software solutions on the market with an excellent track record on Renesas platforms. Customers can build their application software solution on the zero latency RTOS embOS, the high quality graphical solution emWin, the fail-safe embedded file system emFile, the high-performance IP stack embOS/IP and the flexible USB solutions emUSB-Device and emUSB-Host.

“The Renesas RX is a highly optimized CPU core which boasts Renesas' industry leading flash technology. This is the perfect platform for SEGGER's proven commercial middleware solutions. The developer benefits from the RX Max program as Renesas licenses the SEGGER middleware to permit the developer to take full advantage of their RX based platform,” states Ivo Geilenbruegge, CEO of SEGGER Microcontroller.

We are glad to be teaming up with SEGGER Microcontroller as a software alliance partner for this innovative ecosystem support program,” said Bernd Westhoff, RX Product Manager at Renesas Electronics Europe. “The software package provided by SEGGER Microcontroller is a well-accepted middleware solution in the industry with a wide range of variations and customisation possibilities. The SEGGER Microcontroller software package, combined with the widely scalable 32-bit RX MCU platform, is the ideal base for any customer application.”

Qualifying RX customers will be able to access these commercial software packages free of charge.

Interested customers are invited to contact their local Renesas sales office, distribution partners or the alliance partner SEGGER Microcontroller to find out how they can qualify for this innovation support program.
