Renesas expands Synergy platform with new SSP Version 1.2.0

Renesas Electronics Corporation, a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, has unveiled the latest expansion of its Renesas Synergy Platform at ‘Embedded World 2017’.

Key developments to the Synergy Platform include the latest version of the Synergy Software Package (SSP) version 1.2.0 that assures unprecedented levels of software quality in accordance to processes defined by the international standard ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207 by offering a complete Software Quality Assurance (SQA) documentation package; a new wi-fi software framework to standardise and simplify connection of embedded IoT devices; and the new Synergy S5D9 Group  microcontrollers (MCUs) enabling secure manufacturing and communication.

Renesas will showcase several demonstrations highlighting these new updates to the Synergy Platform solutions from March 14 to 16 at embedded world 2017 (booth Hall 4, Stand 104).

Complete embedded platform 
Synergy is a complete embedded platform starting with an Application Programming Interface (API) to leverage a full software framework that is built around the best-in-class Express Logic X-Ware. This software framework, the SSP, is qualified, maintained, supported, and warrantied by Renesas to relieve developers from creating and maintaining low-level software over and over again on each of their embedded projects. The Synergy Platform also integrates a wide range of scalable ARM Cortex-M-based MCUs fully accessible through the software APIs, an industry-leading development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench with intuitive configuration assistance, plus hardware kits for development and solutions.

“Since the launch of the Synergy Platform in 2015, Renesas’ objective has been to give back time and resources to our customers so they can do what they do best – innovate and differentiate” said Peter Carbone, vice-president of Synergy IoT Platform Business Division, Renesas Electronics Corporation. “We are now taking that to the next level by providing a complete Software Quality Assurance (SQA) documentation package for the SSP. Our customers will not only understand in detail the level of SSP software quality as a product, but they can also leverage our SQA package in proving and documenting quality in their own end-products, saving them an enormous amount of time and resources.”
