* Azure RTOS Components Integrated into Renesas RA Flexible Software Package, Renesas Synergy Software Platform, and Easily Accessible via Renesas RX's Smart Configurator
Microsoft Azure RTOS includes Azure RTOS ThreadX, an advanced real-time operating system designed specifically for deeply embedded applications. Among the multiple benefits it provides are real-time multithreading, inter-thread communication and synchronization, and memory management. Azure RTOS ThreadX offers advanced features, including picokernel architecture, preemption-threshold, event chaining, and a rich set of system services.
"We have reached a critical milestone in our collaboration with Microsoft and are excited to be able to offer our customers access to this industry-leading RTOS platform across our 32-bit MCU lines," said
"Empowering developers is one of the most effective ways for organizations to unlock innovation and increase time to value" said
In addition to Azure RTOS ThreadX, designers of RA, RX and Synergy applications will have access to the following middleware stacks:
Azure RTOS FileX high-performance File Allocation Table (FAT)-compatible file system
Azure RTOS GUIX embedded graphical user interface (GUI) application design environment
Azure RTOS TraceX Windows-based analysis tool
Azure RTOS NetX Duo industrial-grade dual IPv4 and IPv6 TCP/IP network stack
Azure RTOS USBX high performance USB host and embedded stack
Later in 2021, Renesas will release cloud development platforms providing developers with a comprehensive framework to securely connect to and leverage the power of Azure IoT. These cloud platforms with feature a host of different connectivity options out-of-box, including Bluetooth®, Cellular, Ultra-wideband, and Wi-Fi 6/6e. These Azure Certified kits will be available through the Azure Device Catalog. A video featuring Renesas and Microsoft executives capturing the significance of the collaboration is available at https://aka.ms/MicrosoftAzureRTOS/Renesas/MCU/Release. About Renesas' Flexible Software Package
The easy-to-use Flexible Software Package (FSP), which includes a best-in-class HAL driver, supports Renesas' high-performance RA Family MCUs based on 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M processors. The FSP uses a GUI to simplify and dramatically accelerate the development process, while also making it easy for customers to transition from an original 8/16-bit MCU design. A video previewing the FSP developer experience with Azure RTOS is available at https://aka.ms/MicrosoftAzureRTOS/RenesasFSP/Video. About Renesas' Synergy Software Package
The Synergy Software Package (SSP) is a tightly integrated, optimized, and qualified suite of software that scales with end-product complexity and simplifies complex system-level services. SSP components are tightly integrated, optimized, tested, documented, and maintained by Renesas. A layered architecture enables developers to write their application with the Application Framework using common APIs, or by directly connecting to the device driver level as needed. About
