Overview
Description
The Renesas RZ/A Flexible Software Package (FSP) is designed to provide easy-to-use, scalable, high-quality software for embedded system designs using RZ/A MPUs. The RZ/A FSP is based on an open software ecosystem of production-ready drivers, supporting FreeRTOS, Azure RTOS or bare-metal programming. It also includes a selection of other middleware stacks, providing great flexibility for migrating code from older systems or developing new applications from scratch. FSP and e² studio IDE can be used free of charge on any Renesas device.

- Download from the Assets section of the GitHub
The installation instructions can be found here. All the FSP Releases and Patches can be found on GitHub.
Features
- By linking with the intuitive configurator of "e2 studio", which is a software-integrated development environment, and the code generation function, it is possible to proceed with real-time system development efficiently and quickly.
- Support both RTOS applications and bare metal applications.
