R-Car V3H Starter Kit

Software development for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving (AD) applications has been increasing in scale and complexity in recent years, in order to accelerate the development of autonomous driving and to develop new functionality that attractively differentiates vehicles. In response to this trend, Renesas has developed R-Car Starter Kits for supporting automotive software development.

The R-Car V3H Starter Kit simplifies and accelerates the development of New Car Assessment Program (NCAP¹), front camera applications, surround view systems, and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) applications. The starter kit is based on the R-Car V3H image recognition system-on-chip (SoC), delivering a combination of low power consumption and high performance for the growing NCAP front camera market.

The starter kit includes the required interfaces and development tools, plus a 440-pin expansion port that enables custom expansion board development for applications ranging from computer vision to multi-camera prototyping. This flexibility accelerates hardware development while maintaining software portability and reusability.

The R-Car V3H Starter Kit is supported by a Linux board support package (BSP), which is available through elinux.org. Additional commercial operating systems are also available.

Note 1: New Car Assessment Program (NCAP): A government car safety program tasked with evaluating new automobile designs for performance against various safety threats.
