Renesas solutions for minimizing man-hours in developing various applications
We are currently developing a range of Quick and Effective Tool Solutions (QE) as development tools for particular applications. The intention is greater efficiency than existing tools for our development environments. Have you ever wondered "What's the matter with this thing? I understand the development environment, and have pulled the application together, but it still doesn't go!"? We are adding development features for various particular applications to the existing debugging features of our integrated development environments. As they appear, try our new development tools if you are having problems in developing embedded applications.

Lineup
| Functions | QE | MCUs (Note1) | IDEs | Type of Support | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Motor | QE for Motor | RA, RL78, RX | e² studio | Software development support tool for motors. You can easily develop software for motors just by operating according to the workflow. | |
| Communications | USB | QE for USB | RL78, RX, RA | e² studio | Solving problems at the beginning of USB system development |
| Matter | QE for Matter | RA | e² studio | Using this tool, you can easily configure Matter clusters and attributes within the IDE and generate the required source code automatically. | |
| Bluetooth® LE | QE for BLE | RA, RL78, RX, RE | e² studio | Assisting in development work involving Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE). | |
| DALI | QE for Lighting & Power | RL78 | CS+/e² studio | QE for Lighting & Power is an assistance tool for smart lighting and digital power solutions, integrating Renesas libraries, software, compilers, and evaluation boards for efficient development and validation. | |
| OTA | QE for OTA | RX, RL78, RA | e² studio | This development assistance tool helps you easily try firmware update on your device. | |
| SCI | QE for UART | RX | e² studio | Initial settings for UART communications and the debugging of communications processing | |
| CAN | Network Verification | RH850 | CS+ | You can debug CAN communication applications without actually being connected to the companion peripheral device. This allows early debugging of network functions. | |
| CAN Communication Time Measurement Solution | RH850 | CS+ | Measuring response times in CAN bus transfer (up to the start of processing by the program after reception) | ||
| Graphics | Segment LCD | QE for Segment LCD | RL78, RA | e² studio | This development assistance tool supports the creation of display pattern and checking the wiring states which are required in the development of embedded systems that involve the use of segment LCD. |
| LCD | QE for Display | RZ, RX, RA | e² studio | Adjusting timing settings or the image quality of displays (RZ, RA family: for use with display controllers from Renesas) | |
| Camera | QE for Camera | RZ, RA | e² studio | Initial adjustment of camera connections and camera module settings (for use with display controllers from Renesas) | |
| Sensors | Touch | QE for Capacitive Touch | RA, RL78, RX, Renesas SynergyTM | CS+/e² studio | Assisting in the configuration, tuning, and monitoring of touch interfaces. |
| QE for AFE | RA, RX | e² studio | Supporting in development work of an embedded system that performs high-precision sensing using MCUs containing analog front end (AFE) | ||
| Others | QE for Current Consumption | RL78, RX | CS+/e² studio | Measuring current drawn by systems as a whole. It also helps to shorten periods of work on tuning the currents drawn by systems. | |
| Verification Through Fault Injection | RH850 | CS+ | Using fault injection it is possible to trigger states that would be difficult to realize on the actual system. This allows effective debugging of processing when errors are detected. | ||
| Verification of Safety | RL78, RX, RH850 | CS+ | See at a glance if specified variables have been accessed (read or write) by functions (RH850, RX, RL78). Detects when variables in a designated section (while a specified function is running) are written to and indicates this as an error (RH850). | ||
| QE for Battery Management (Battery Fuel Gauge) | Battery Fuel Gauge ICs | CS+ | Adjusting parameters required for the management of batteries | ||
