Renesas udvider økosystemet omkring den vigtige RL78 MCU-familie

RL78 er Renesas første MCU, der er udviklet med afsæt i en integreret platform, der er resultatet af fusionen mellem Reneas og NEC. Nu udvides økosystemet omkring MCU'en med en række vigtige tredjeparts værktøjer (in english).

Renesas Electronics Europe has announced, that its RL78 microcontroller family now has  compiler support from IAR Systems, as well as support of real-time operating systems (RTOS) from Micrium and CMX Systems.

RL78 microcontrollers are the first family of MCUs to be developed using an integrated platform following the merger (between NEC Electronics Corporation and Renesas Technology Corp.) and to employ the new 130nm process.

The RL78 family of MCUs combines and extends technology from the earlier R8C and 78K 8-bit and 16-bit MCUs from the two merged companies, contributes to lower overall system power consumption, provides an extensive variety of different product versions, and helps developers reduce overall system costs


- To support the market’s need for industry-standard development tools and middleware solutions, Renesas Electronics Europe has teamed up with selected technology partners, says Mohammed U Dogar, Manager of Microcontroller Product Marketing, Industrial Business Unit, Renesas Electronics Europe.

- The RL78 family’s outstanding low-power characteristics and extensive line-up, combined with a well-established ecosystem, offer designers world-class solutions for 8- and 16-bit embedded systems.

IAR Systems’ Embedded Workbench provides a highly optimized C and C++ compiler for the RL78 MCU family and supports the E1 on-chip debugger and IECube in-circuit emulator tools, both from Renesas Electronics. Additionally, the Embedded Workbench comes bundled with the C-SPY real-time debugger and the instruction simulator.

- We’re pleased that our partnership with Renesas Electronics enables us to add development tool support to the new RL78 series of MCU devices, says Thomas Winkler, Director European Sales, IAR Systems.
- Our industry-standard IAR Embedded Workbench will bring a complete ecosystem development environment to the RL78 MCUs. In addition, we are now able to provide Renesas Electronics customers with high-quality service and technical support, he adds.

- Embedded designers can gain a competitive edge by using Micrium’s feature rich, reliable, efficient, compact and scalable µC/OS-II and µC/OS-III kernels, which have been ported to the RL78 family of processors, says Jean Labrosse, founder, president and CEO of Micrium.
- Battery-operated, power-sensitive and eco-friendly applications can further benefit from Micrium’s µC/OS-II's and µC/OS-III's ability to easily enter the RL78 MCUs’ SNOOZE and HALT modes when idling.

CMX Systems, a well-known supplier of real-time operating systems, has ported its CMX-RTX operating system to Renesas Electronics’ RL78 MCU family.
- We are pleased to be able to provide Renesas Electronics RL78 MCU customers with access to our small-footprint, low-latency RTOS, says Chuck Behrmann, CEO of CMX Systems.
- The CMX-RTX is a truly pre-emptive, multi-tasking RTOS offering one of the smallest footprints, fastest context switching times, and lowest interrupt latency times available.
