Verified Linux Package

The Linux package packages the basic software required for the industrial field and provides it from Renesas as a software package that has been verified based on the data sheet.

Customers can use stable operating Linux + basic software and start application development immediately.

Traditionally, software provided by semiconductor manufacturers has not been systematically maintained. The software that makes up our Linux package has been verified and provided for maintenance. Significantly reduce customer software development load in embedded system development.

Key Features of the Verified Linux Package:

  • Super long-term support by Civil Infrastructure PlatformTM (CIPTM)
    • 5 years of backporting of additional functions for latest kernel
    • Over 10 years of security patch support
    • In addition, Renesas is independently carrying out activities to expand the scope of maintenance
  • Support for industry-standard APIs
  • Enhanced standard software components for use with industrial and IoT applications
    • Improved reliability, real-time performance, security, and functional safety as required by industrial segment
  • Support for industry-standard APIs
  • Free and simple click-through licensing
  • Free maintenance

Verified Linux Package Concept

What is the Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP)?
