Overview
Description
Equipped with the flagship RX72N microcontroller from the 32-bit RX family, the RX72N Envision Kit supports GUI creation using an LCD, HMI development such as voice input/output, and IoT device development using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE), Ethernet, and more. With a pre-installed demo and emulator circuit, it enables immediate hands-on experience and rapid development.
Demo Firmware
The pre-installed firmware update feature allows updates by writing this firmware to a microSD card. In addition, the latest version of the firmware and source code are published on the GitHub site.
