 Challenge:

“MCUs continue to become more complex especially when creating applications to enable the Smart Society, and

therefore the Software becomes more complex as well

However, project schedules do not always scale

accordingly.”

 Solution:

“Renesas provides you with a suite of professional software development tools, providing powerful and flexible features that ease and accelerate creation and debugging of

embedded code.”
