Do you know that the RX family of 32-bit MCUs supports Microsoft Azure RTOS? Azure RTOS has a certification program that ensures the operation of Azure RTOS works on certified evaluation kits. Our development kits, RX65N-Cloud-Kit and RX65N-2MB-Starter-Kit-Plus, have obtained this certification.

In recent years, major cloud vendors are providing cloud solutions including real-time operating systems (RTOS), making it easier for edge devices to connect to the cloud.

In addition to FreeRTOS for AWS cloud service, the RX family now also supports Azure RTOS and offers an environment where you can easily connect to Microsoft Azure.

If you are considering using Azure, please try the sample code for the RX family MCU provided in the Azure RTOS Git Hub link below.
