DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT FOR RX FAMILY

Introduction to RX-Family Development Environments – Boards & Kits

The RX microcontroller kits portfolio consists of a variety of kits to suit many use cases such as functional evaluation, getting started reference, prototyping, proof-of-concepts, solutions demo, research, and academia. They are divided into 2 main types:

General-purpose kits: are designed to meet a variety of user needs. They help users jumpstart evaluation and rapid prototyping with RX MCU. 
Solution Kits: are designed to show how the RX MCU is ideally suited for specific applications. They includes cloud connectivity, graphics, high precision sensing, capacitive touch, motor control and Bluetooth® Low Energy.

Visit the kit product pages to learn more about the features of each kit, download collateral such as the user's manual, quick start guide, design package, and example projects, and order your favorite kit from a leading distributor.
