Renesas offers Cortex-M4 MCUs with Synergy RTOS and stacks

Renesas Electronics has announced the first Arm Cortex-M series microcontrollers in its new Synergy embedded design platform which is notable for offering a supported real-time operating systems and pre-certified application software and firmware stacks.

By Richard Wilson - Electronics Weekly, Oct. 14, 2015 – 

The microcontrollers, which are the supplier?s first Arm Cortex devices, are the S7G2, which is a 240MHz Cortex-M4 CPU core with 4Mbyte flash; and the lower power S3A7, which is a 48MHz Arm Cortex-M4 CPU.

They are designed to be pin and peripheral compatible so software developed for one MCU group can be used with the other.

Renesas has added an interesting twist to its Cortex-M4 devices. It has put together a package of qualified software which it says means that product development can start at the API level.
