Renesas And HCC Embedded Offer Free Software Packages For RX MCU Designs

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. A common core, common IP and common development tools guarantee maximum compatibility across the range.

HCC is an embedded peripheral specialist providing storage and communications software with advanced performance and verifiable quality. HCC supplies truly fail-safe Flash Translation Layers and File System solutions for Renesas RX MCUs, making it easy to work with NAND- and NOR-based flash. In addition, an extensive range of bootloaders, USB and networking solutions, including a fully MISRA compliant TCP/IP stack, can be used to provide a robust platform for any RX development project. HCC software components are developed using a unique framework meaning they can be dropped into any RTOS or compiler environment with minimal integration required.

“HCC are excited to be working with Renesas on such an innovative program to provide developers with much needed high performance software for RX MCUs,” said David Brook, HCC’s Director of Marketing.

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

Qualified 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 partner or the alliance partner to find out how they can qualify for this innovation support programme.
