In summary, Renesas Synergy™ Platform, the first qualified, maintained and fully supported software/hardware platform that accelerates time to market, reduces total cost of ownership and removes the obstacles engineers face designing Internet of Things (IoT) products. The platform consists of fully integrated software, development tools and a family of scalable microcontrollers (MCUs) with no upfront fees or back-end royalties – everything is included in the purchase price of the MCU device. The Synergy Platform includes the Renesas Synergy™ Software Package (SSP) version 1.3.0, which integrates Express Logic’s NetX Secure™ Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) for NetX Duo™. SSP v.1.3.0 also adds Wi-Fi, LTE cellular and Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) wireless application frameworks that simplify adding or exchanging radio frequency modules (RF) in IoT devices. Low power management is enhanced by adding the Power Profile application framework to make it easy to use the Synergy MCUs’ complex low-power modes. The Synergy Platform also includes software and development tool support for three additional MCU groups – S5D5, S3A6, and S128. The S5D5 and S3A6 Target Board Kits and S128 Development Kit further reduce development cost barriers.
