Monheim am Rhein, Germany – December 12th, 2023
SEGGER has made available hand-optimized extensions to their JPEG decode firmware to optimize Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform (IDCT) calculations based on the Arm Helium extension available in the new Renesas RA8D1 MCU group, built on the Arm Cortex-M85 processor.
“We were happy to be able to partner with Renesas to utilize the Arm Helium extension in the RA8D1 to deliver such high-performance graphics solutions,” says Rolf Segger, founder of SEGGER. “The Helium extension is perfect to accelerate the IDCT processing and largely removes the need for special hardware JPEG decoders.”
“Having a partner like SEGGER to help us unlock the full graphics potential of the RA8D1 is essential,” says Daryl Khoo, Vice President of the IoT Platform Division at Renesas. “The fact we have these firmware enhancements available from day one means we can confidently release the RA8D1 knowing we have a market-leading solution”
SEGGER's complete RA development tool suite includes ultra-fast debugging with the J-Link family of debug probes, the Embedded Studio IDE, including GCC and SEGGER compilers, the full-featured Ozone graphical debugger, SystemView (real-time recording and visualization tool), and middleware extension solutions such as cycle-accurate embOS-Ultra and emWin GUI. SEGGER complements the development cycle with the Flasher series of production programmers to provide end-to-end support for the entire RA series of MCUs.
