Renesas expands RL78 ecosystem
IAR Systems’ Embedded Workbench provides C and C++ compilers for the RL78 MCU family and supports the E1 on-chip debugger and IECube in-circuit emulator tools, both from Renesas Electronics.
Embedded designers are expected to gain a competitive edge by using Micrium’s compact and scalable µC/OS-II and µC/OS-III kernels, which have been ported to the RL78 family of processors. Battery-operated, power-sensitive and eco-friendly applications should further benefit from Micrium’s µC/OS-II’s and µC/OS-III’s ability to enter the RL78 MCUs’ SNOOZE and HALT modes when idling.
CMX Systems has also ported its CMX-RTX operating system to Renesas Electronics’ RL78 MCU family. The small-footprint, low-latency RTOS is a pre-emptive, multi-tasking RTOS claimed to offer one of the smallest footprints, fastest context switching times, and lowest interrupt latency times available.
