The revolutionary Synergy Platform promises to change the life of embedded design engineers for the better thanks to enabling you to start development at the Application Programming Interface (API) layer and focus your creativity on the differentiation of your own application. As a result, you will reduce your time to market, lower cost of ownership and remove barriers to entry.

Getting started is now even easier with the publication of “Basics of the Renesas Synergy™ Platform”. Based on the S5D9 promotion kit, the book introduces the concept of the Synergy Platform before taking you through all the necessary steps to reach your first application implementation. Heavily indexed, it can also serve as a reference guide for those already familiar with the platform.

You are able to download the complete book from this website, as well as identify and download individual chapters that have been recently updated due to the fast pace of development of the Renesas Synergy™ Platform.

For those who prefer it, elements of the book are also available as video tutorials, accessible both on Renesas’ YouTube channel, Renesas Presents.
