Renesas has unveiled the R-Car Software Development Kit (SDK), a software platform in a single package that will enable easier software development and validation for smart camera and automated driving applications used in all types of vehicles.

"Software development and delivery has been a significant pain point for automotive system developers, involving resource-intensive customised packaging and full installations that typically take several days to complete," said Naoki Yoshida, Vice President, Automotive Digital Products Marketing Division at Renesas. "To alleviate these headaches when it comes to deep learning for automotive systems, Renesas is reinventing the developer experience, offering this new single package, multi-OS software platform that is easy for customers to access, learn, use, and install, enabling customers to quick start their deep learning development."

While automakers are increasingly turning to deep learning as they look for new ways to enable smart camera applications and automated driving systems for next-generation vehicles they are having to use deep learning solutions built on consumer or server applications, which do not operate under the same stringent constraints for functional safety, real-time responsiveness, and low power consumption.

Optimised for use with Renesas' R-Car V3H and R-Car V3M system-on-chips (SoCs), the R-Car SDK has been built for rule-based automotive computer vision and AI-based functions.

The simulation platform is able to offer both AI and conventional hardware accelerators for highly accurate simulations in real time. Renesas said that it will continue to strengthen this virtual platform over time.
