Overview
Description
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.
R-Car H3e-2G Starter Kit Premier (RTP8J779M1ASKB0SK0SA003)
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.

See Support section.
Features
- Simplifies the process of establishing open-source automotive Linux environments.
- The R-Car starter kits are designed to simplify the task of setting up automotive Linux environments for engineers who are new to the development of automotive software, and are competitively priced so that each developer can be provided with their own kit.
- Powerful computing libraries are provided with support for cutting-edge HMI software and cognitive computing. They also support the QNXR real-time OS with its proven track record in the automotive field. With this robust environment, the R-Car starter kits are well suited as development platforms for automotive software created by highly specialized professional communities of open-source developers.
- High level of extensibility for use with a wide range of automotive computing applications.
- The primary peripheral interfaces essential to automotive computing development are provided. There is also a 440-pin expansion port that enables use of all the peripheral pins of the R-Car SoC, enabling the kits to be employed for a wide range of computing applications, from a simple advanced computer vision development environments to prototyping of large-scale systems such as integrated cockpits.
