Renesas Electronics Unveils Integrated Software Development Environment for ADAS and Automated Driving

e2 studio with Toolchain, Simulator and Libraries Now Simplifies R-Car-Based Software Development and Accelerates Time-to-Market

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — October 19, 2017 — Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723, Renesas), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced that the Renesas e2 studio integrated software development environment now has been expanded with new features to support the R-Car V3M system-on-chip (SoC) for in-vehicle infotainment and advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS). e2 studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) based on the open-source Eclipse C/C++ Development Tooling (CDT) software and already supports other Renesas devices including the RZ/G Family and the Renesas Synergy™ microcontrollers (MCUs). Expanded to support the R-Car V3M, the e2 studio can now be used as a core tool for automotive SoC software development. The e2 studio-based R-Car V3M solution is part of the Renesas autonomy™, which was announced in April 2017.

“We are excited to provide our open-source e2 studio IDE along with our automotive SoC for ADAS and automated driving. The e2 studio has been upgraded for R-Car V3M with various features to boost the performance of ADAS and automated driving applications,” said Akiya Fukui, Vice President, Software Development Division, Broad-Based Solution Business Unit, Renesas Electronics Corporation. “With the new e2 studio, we enable our customers to achieve improved development efficiency and faster time-to-market.”

Renesas’ low-power, high-performance R-Car SoCs consist of a heterogeneous architecture with various types of intellectual properties (IPs), including central processing units (CPUs) and accelerators, to optimize power efficiency. Each IP uses its own programming languages, toolchain, trace interface, and debugging protocols, which enable system developers to maximize the functionality and performance of the IP to optimally develop various software and applications for ADAS and automated driving.

To make full use of the computing performance and low-power performance of each IP, including the integrated IMP-X5 image recognition engine, Renesas has added various new features to e2 studio. System developers using e2 studio for R-Car V3M can develop software for various IPs installed in the R-Car V3M with a comprehensive and unified graphical user interface (GUI) to accelerate time-to-market for ADAS and automated driving systems.
