IoT Cloud Solutions

Cloud connectivity is an indispensable part of IoT, enabling the management of zettabytes of data generated by IoT devices, from tiny sensors to complex systems. The cloud plays a critical role in various IoT use cases, including OTA updates, remote monitoring, fleet tracking, industrial automation, and predictive maintenance. With the widespread adoption of cloud solutions, IoT gateways are becoming increasingly vital for processing and integrating data from the edge to the cloud.

Renesas offers a wide range of products to satisfy the power and performance demands of IoT cloud connectivity. These include the RL78 family of 8 and 16-bit low-power microcontrollers (MCUs), the RA and RX families of 32-bit high-performance MCUs, and the RZ family of high-end 64-bit microprocessors (MPUs) designed for IoT gateways.

The cloud solutions are supported by a comprehensive software suite, including a complete software stack using Renesas Flexible Software Package (FSP) for RA, iot-reference-rx on RX Driver Package (RDP), and the iot-reference-rl78, which facilitate seamless connectivity to cloud services. For the RZ gateway solutions, the implementation is guided by the RZ/G Verified Linux Package (VLP) and AWS IoT Greengrass.

Renesas cloud kits, such as the CK-RA6M5 and CK-RX65N, provide a secure environment for cloud connectivity with features like the Secure Crypto Engine (SCE9), Trusted Secure IP (TSIP), and hardware acceleration. Additionally, the RZ/G3S-EVKIT offers a gateway solution with AWS IoT Greengrass.
