Overview

Description

R-Car S4 enables to launch Car Server/CoGW with high performance, high-speed networking, high security and high functional safety levels that are required as E/E architectures evolve into domains and zones. The R-Car S4 solution allows designers to re-use up to 88 percent of software code developed for 3rd generation R-Car SoCs and RH850 MCU applications. The software package supports the real-time cores with various drivers and basic software such as Linux BSP and hypervisors.

Features

  • Eight 1.2 GHz Cortex A55 cores, one 1.0 GHz Cortex® R52 dual core (lock-step) and two 400 MHz RH850 G4MH dual cores (lock-step) deliver up to 27 kDMIPS application performance plus greater than 5.3 kDMIPS real-time performance
  • Abundant automotive interfaces including 16x CAN FD, 16x LIN, 8x SENT, 1x FlexRay, 2x 2-lane PCIe 4.0 allow a wide range of connectivity inside the vehicle
  • Integrated 3-port Ethernet TSN switch offers bandwidth of 3 x 2.5 Gbps to deliver fast and low-latency communication in the vehicle backbone and to the outside world
  • Incorporated 8MB SRAM to execute code on the RH850 G4MH core with low latency
  • Multiple hardware security modules (HSMs) and firewall IP provide enhanced security protection against cyber attacks
  • R-Car S4 is compliant to ISO-26262 and supports functional safety according to ASIL B and ASIL D

Software & Tools

Debug and Trace Tools for Multi-DevicesThese tools facilitate the analysis and identification of the causes of problems that occur in the software that operates cooperatively on the CPUs of multiple devices. IDE and Coding Tool Renesas
Multi-Core Debug and Trace ToolMultiple heterogeneous processor cores (Arm core/ RH850 core) integrated in R-Car S4 can be debugged and traced simultaneously. This allows for shorter time to identify the cause and analyze problems in systems where multiple cores work together to achieve a function. IDE and Coding Tool Renesas
