Software development for car information systems is increasing in scale and complexity in recent years, in order to accelerate the development of autonomous driving and to develop new functionality to attractively differentiate vehicles. As more companies are starting automotive software development, there is an urgent need to secure skilled and specialized engineers as well as the development environment required for automotive applications. Renesas has developed R-Car starter kits for supporting automotive software development. These kits enable users to easily build automotive Linux platforms that are standardized by the Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) and GENIVI®open source communities and that are highly extensible and can be used for wide variety of applications.
Since the hardware used has high computing capabilities for automotive and the latest open source software can be used, by having one kit on hand per engineer from the professional community, the engineer can concentrate on advanced development of specialized software allowing for the realization of new automotive computing systems quickly.
This pro R-Car starter kit features the latest HMI computing environment and system flexibility with abundant peripheral functions. It can be used for integrated cockpit applications in global vehicle models.
The premier R-Car starter kit supports best-in-class computing performance for automotive and offers a powerful computing library to provide the ultimate automotive computing environment.
