Renesas Electronics, a global supplier of semiconductor solutions, has partnered with Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code) to provide its customers with tool extensions for developing Renesas' full lineup of microcontrollers (MCUs) and microprocessors (MPUs). The collaboration makes it easier for designers using this popular integrated development environment (IDE) and code editor to work within a familiar development environment.
VS Code IDE simplifies and accelerates code editing across multiple platforms and operating systems. With support for VS Code, Renesas is now enabling more designers to use Renesas products to create efficient embedded solutions. VS Code complements Renesas' own powerful and flexible e2 studio IDE, which is widely used by thousands of designers around the world.
Renesas now supports customers using Visual Studio Code to develop and debug embedded software for its 16-bit RL78 and 32-bit RA, RX and RH850 MCUs, as well as 64-bit RZ MPU and R-Car series SOCs. Renesas embedded processors target applications in automotive, IoT, industrial automation, home appliances, and healthcare.
Akiya Fukui, Vice President of Renesas Software Development Division said: "As a global MCU supplier, Renesas Electronics has a large and loyal customer base, and they often use our powerful e2 studio IDE to develop applications. By supporting VS Code, more Designers can use Renesas processors to develop embedded applications."
Marc Goodner, Principal Product Manager, Microsoft, said: "We welcome Renesas Electronics, a leader in the embedded processor market, to the Visual Studio Code community. The millions of developers using VS Code can now use Renesas' broad and efficient range of MCUs and MPUs." product line."
Users can download VS Code for free and gain access to the source code. They can use the Github pull request extension to create a source code repository, and use VS Code to view and edit the source code. In addition, users can take advantage of ever-increasing extensions, using a simple user interface or a flexible command interface.
As the world's leading supplier of MCU products, Renesas Electronics ships more than 3.5 billion units per year. About 50 percent of this is used in the automotive sector, with the rest in areas such as industry, the Internet of Things, and data centers and communications infrastructure. With a broad portfolio of 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit products, Renesas Electronics is the industry's leading supplier of 16-bit and 32-bit MCUs. The products offered are of outstanding quality and efficiency with excellent performance. At the same time, as a reliable supplier, Renesas Electronics has decades of experience in designing intelligent and safe MCUs, and has a dual-line production model, industry-leading MCU process technology, and a huge network of more than 200 partners. ecosystem.
