Renesas Announces General Availability of Renesas 365

　　Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced the general availability of Renesas 365, Powered by Altium, an intelligent, model-based platform that integrates device exploration, model-based system development and early concept validation on a single unified platform. Built on a cloud environment, Renesas 365 is an industry-first platform designed to bring silicon and systems together across an open ecosystem at scale.　　In modern embedded design, engineers often struggle with disconnected workflows, manual component searches and limited system-level awareness. Renesas 365 directly addresses such challenges by connecting previously isolated tools such as embedded software files, datasheets and application notes into a streamlined, cloud-managed platform. With Renesas 365, engineering teams can collaboratively explore architectures, co-develop hardware and software and make system-level design decisions backed by real-time insights.　　Following its concept introduction, Renesas is now launching the first phase of Renesas 365 by integrating over 550 variants of the RA family of microcontrollers (MCUs), an industry-leading Arm®-based MCU portfolio together with a full suite of development tools.　　Using model-based evaluation and optimization technology, engineers can now rely on Renesas 365 as an intelligent design environment that actively assists with selecting the right MCU based on full system requirements. Rather than filtering datasheets in isolation, engineers receive guided recommendations informed by pin usage, peripherals, timing, power and how devices align with system building blocks. This means tasks that typically take an engineer an hour reviewing data sheets and tool requirements can now be accomplished in minutes, dramatically reducing evaluation time. This system-level intelligence accelerates design convergence, minimizes downstream rework and enables faster time to market while supporting more robust, efficient and cost-effective embedded designs.　　“The general availability of Renesas 365 marks a pivotal milestone in realizing Renesas’ Digitalization Vision,” said Gaurang Shah, Vice President and General Manager of Embedded Processing at Renesas. “By delivering the first phase of an intelligent design environment that supports early-stage development, we are laying the groundwork for the next phase, where hardware and software subsystem elements will be maintained within Renesas 365. This helps our customers build, scale and sustain next-generation software-defined products faster and at lower cost.”　　Together with the e²studio integrated development environment (IDE), Flexible Software Package (FSP) and smart documentation, engineers can leverage integrated design workflows specifically created for RA MCU devices, including sensing, power management and compiler support.　　Key features of Renesas 365 include:　　Model-based component and system exploration, discovery and selection　　Digital continuity across systems, hardware and software workflows　　AI-assisted guidance on design constraints, resource management, and error resolution　　Over-the-air (OTA) device management for RA MCUs　　Existing customers can link their current projects in e²studio with Renesas 365 and start using the platform immediately, while developers starting a new project are guided through system-level component and solution discovery to identify compatible devices and evaluate feasibility. This system-level context awareness significantly accelerates early-stage development and reduces iterations.　　Digitally Connected Hardware and Software Configurations　　As engineers make modifications to their system, the platform automatically records iterations and connects them with system-level design elements so teams can revisit any previous hardware and software configurations. With a context-aware smart system, Renesas 365 helps identify resource or design constraints, suggests resolutions and assists teams to make design decisions with fewer iterations and confidence. Moreover, Renesas 365 lets customers manage and update RA-based devices even after initial design through an integrated over-the-air (OTA) capability.　　An Open Platform Built for Flexibility　　Renesas 365 is an open, scalable platform that mirrors how electronic systems are developed in the real world. Developers have the option to incorporate third-party components, sensors and partner tools directly into their system designs. This open approach allows teams to evaluate tradeoffs and consider mixed vendor architectures to customize solutions with integrated system-level context.　　Growing the Renesas 365 Ecosystem　　Now under development, the next phase of Renesas 365 will pave the way for completed subsystem building blocks to be modeled as platform-maintained components.

Renesas Develops SoC Technologies for Automotive Multi-Domain ECUs Essential for the SDV Era

　　Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, has developed three System-on-Chip (SoC) technologies for automotive multi-domain electronic control units (ECUs). They feature advanced AI processing capabilities and chiplet functions, serving as the core technology platform for next-generation automotive electrical/electronic (E/E) architectures. Renesas presented the results at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference 2026 (ISSCC 2026), held February 15–19 in San Francisco, USA.　　In the age of software-defined vehicles (SDVs), automotive SoCs require advanced performance to run multiple applications simultaneously and must offer scalability through chiplets. They must also meet the functional safety requirements of automotive SoCs. As multi-domain SoCs powering central computing are growing larger and more complex, maintaining automotive-grade quality is becoming more difficult. With increased performance in advanced SoCs, power consumption also rises, making improvements in power efficiency and safety vital. To meet these needs, Renesas has developed the following new technologies.　　1. Chiplet architecture that supports functional safety　　To meet the functional safety requirements of automotive SoCs, Renesas has developed a new, proprietary architecture that supports ASIL D even in a chiplet configuration. By combining the standard die-to-die UCIe interface with a proprietary RegionID mechanism, the architecture prevents interference with hardware resources, even when numerous applications run simultaneously, thereby achieving Freedom from Interference (FFI).　　Conventional UCIe interfaces lack functionality to transmit RegionIDs between dies. Renesas developed a method for mapping RegionIDs into physical address space, encoding them into the UCIe region, and transmitting them. This enables safe access control through the memory management unit (MMU) and real-time cores, and meets functional safety requirements across chiplets. Additionally, by maintaining bandwidth from processors to the memory bus, the UCIe interface was confirmed through testing to achieve a high transmission speed of 51.2 GB/s, approaching the upper limit of intra-SoC transfer speeds. This technology provides both scalability and safety for high-performance automotive SoCs.　　2. Advanced AI processing capabilities and automotive-grade quality　　Automotive-grade quality is vital for SDV systems. Renesas has created a 3 nm SoC design that improves the performance of neural processing units (NPUs) for AI processing, while maintaining automotive-grade quality. In recent years, NPUs have been growing larger, with their area expanding 1.5-fold compared to previous generations. This has led to increased clock latency between shared clock sources and individual circuits. To address this problem, Renesas has redesigned the clock architecture by splitting up clock pulse generators (CPGs), which in past designs were module-level units, and placing mini-CPGs (mCPGs) at the sub-module level. This greatly reduces clock latency and meets timing requirements.　　However, multi-layer mCPGs complicate test clock synchronization, which is critical for achieving zero defects in automotive applications. Renesas has integrated test circuits into the hierarchical CPG architecture and unified the signal path for user clocks and test clocks. The new design also synchronizes upper- and lower-level mCPGs under a single clock source in test mode. This makes unified phase adjustment possible. As a result, Renesas has been able to achieve quality aligned with zero-defect expectations, even for large-scale SoCs, providing the high reliability required for next-generation SDV automotive SoCs.　　3. Advanced power control and monitoring for improved power efficiency and safety　　To achieve the high level of performance required for automotive SoCs with improved power efficiency and safety, Renesas has developed advanced power gating technology that uses over 90 power domains. It enables precise power control, from several milliwatts to several tens of watts, depending on operating conditions. Furthermore, Renesas has split power switches (PSWs) into ring PSWs and row PSWs to reduce IR drops (voltage drops) associated with increasing current density from smaller process geometries. When power is turned on, the ring PSW suppresses rush currents. Then the row PSW equalizes impedance within the domain. Together, these reduce IR drops by roughly 13% compared with conventional designs.　　To meet ASIL D functional safety standards, the dual core lock step (DCLS) configuration controls the master and checker cores with independent power switches and controllers. With this design, even if one side fails, the failure can be detected through lockstep operation. Furthermore, loopback monitoring is performed for each PSW's gate signal, so OFF states are detected when a failure occurs. A digital voltage meter (DVMON), which is highly resistant to temperature drift, is used for voltage monitoring. This improves aging tolerance by 1.4 mV. These technologies enable high-performance automotive SoCs that offer both power efficiency and safety.　　These new technologies are being used in Renesas' R-Car X5H SoC for automotive multi-domain ECUs. With R-Car X5H, users can accelerate the evolution of SDVs while ensuring safety and enabling autonomous driving, digital cockpit and more.　　About Renesas Electronics Corporation　　Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723) empowers a safer, smarter and more sustainable future where technology helps make our lives easier.

Renesas丨Silicon to Software: RoX AI Studio Advances Software-Defined Vehicle Design

　　Software-defined vehicles (SDV) are upending traditional automotive design. While vehicle development is still highly iterative, the industry is in the throes of a historic transformation where manufacturers are compressing once-sequential hardware-to-software design cycles into more efficient software-first design flows.　　This so-called shift-left approach is exemplified by Renesas' adoption of digital tools and AI models as part of a broader digitalization and software strategy aimed at accelerating design and innovation, while simultaneously optimizing R&D efficiency. In the automotive sector, the evolution is driven by practical considerations given that a typical vehicle now embeds more than 100 million lines of code. Heavier software dependence requires continuous updating and deployment, multi-supplier integration, design validation at scale, and reflects an ecosystem where OEMs insource more software and chipmakers ship platforms, not parts. Renesas anticipated these changes with the scalable R-Car hardware and software development platform. R-Car supports the transition of E/E designs to more central processing architectures, including advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle design. Last year, we added R-Car Open Access (RoX), an extended platform for SDVs that provides a pre-integrated, out-of-the-box environment with hardware, operating systems, software stacks, and tools to accelerate next-generation vehicle development.　　R-Car leverages a heterogeneous architecture that features Arm® CPUs with multiple hardware accelerators. RoX includes a common set of toolchains that allows software reuse across electronic control units (ECUs) for ADAS, in-vehicle information (IVI) systems, and centralized data gateways. By enabling cloud-native development and customized design simulation, the RoX platform expands SDV lifecycle support through continuous updates that align with a modern value chain where OEMs and service providers increasingly co-own software.　　Introducing RoX AI Studio: Cloud-Native MLOps on R-Car　　Many of our automotive customers have embraced R-Car and the Renesas RoX platform as a means to accelerate SDV development and manage the complexity of in-vehicle embedded processing systems. In doing so, we found a persistent "lab-to-road" gap between how designers employ AI training in the cloud and how they deploy new features in automotive SoCs.　　RoX AI Studio, a new extension of the original RoX platform, closes that gap. The machine learning operations (MLOps) tool lets teams remotely evaluate AI models using a managed cloud control plane that connects engineers with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) device farms so they can profile real-world performance without waiting for scarce lab boards. Continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) keeps the full toolchain current, so improvements arrive automatically with no local installs required. The result is faster iteration, fewer surprises, and a direct line from model training to road-ready, HIL model validation.　　What Is MLOps – and How Does RoX AI Studio Enable It for SDVs?　　To define MLOps, it's important to understand what preceded it. MLOps builds on a concept called DevOps – short for development operations – in which tools and best practices are combined to shorten software design lifecycles. This is achieved by breaking down silos between development and IT operations teams to help them collaborate more effectively.　　DevOps governs deterministic integrate/test/deploy processes for conventional software code and services. MLOps adds AI data and models, where development lifecycles are iterative, experiments branch, and choices must be tracked, compared, and promoted. By anchoring model validation on R-Car silicon, RoX AI Studio becomes the bridge between model-in-training and model-in-production, turning the art and science of AI model development into repeatable and scalable engineering operations with targeted KPIs.　　RoX AI Studio operationalizes automotive MLOps for SDVs in several ways:　　Model Intake and Registry: Renesas provides a curated model zoo that includes many popular AI models. Users can also use a bring your own model (BYOM) approach to ingest their own custom or proprietary models and receive a quick performance evaluation on R-Car silicon.　　Automated Updates: Orchestration workflows in our MLOps tool simplify the user experience by abstracting model processing for silicon deployment, while CI/CD toolchains automate the release and deployment of the latest version of the AI toolchain for R-Car SoCs.　　HIL Evaluation: MLOps in the cloud connects to a physical lab hosting an array of R-Car silicon devices that run inference experiments on demand. This allows remote validation of AI models without requiring physical co-location with the hardware.　　Results and Artifacts: Collects metrics and logs from inference experiments and aggregates them as metric comparison tables and plots.　　Scaled Experimentation: Runs multiple models/variants in parallel to compare accuracy vs. latency under real-world operating constraints.　　Flexible Deployment: Will allow designers to begin on the Renesas cloud for speed and then mirror the same stack later in a private cloud when silicon is more widely available for individual projects.　　RoX AI Studio Is Advancing Automotive's "Shift Left" Strategy　　Automotive timelines are compressing. Manufacturers are moving from three to four-year platform development cycles to one to two-year cycles augmented by ongoing over-the-air (OTA) updates to provide on-road product feature enhancements. That means design teams adopting the shift-left philosophy need to test hardware and software earlier using target (remote or virtual) devices.　　That's a challenge for OEMs, many of which have invested heavily in AI model training and are striving to continuously improve their networks by deploying feature updates to their vehicles in the field. At the same time, shorter development cycles mean they must test many device options simultaneously – at scale and across multiple vectors – without over-investing in the wrong development path.　　When OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers use RoX AI Studio, they can quickly validate their devices by testing at scale and within the context of their specific MLOps network strategy. RoX AI Studio makes this practical by creating a simplified developer experience for managing cloud-to-lab infrastructure and automated workflows for pre-trained model deployment and evaluation on R-Car SoC targets. It runs experiments in parallel, as opposed to serially, and provides access to device farms that allow global teams to start development before boards arrive and continue at scale.　　For automotive OEMs, this means earlier starts and fewer late surprises, reusable software investments that move from cloud to vehicle, and a clean path to private-cloud deployment and virtual platforms that yield better results and shorten time to market.　　Platform Thinking for the Software-Defined Era　　Car makers designing SDVs are committed to developing hardware and software in parallel, and the market is converging on cloud-native machine learning tools – but with no universal MLOps winner yet.　　Renesas RoX AI Studio provides a standardized SDV design foundation and operationalizes AI development on that foundation by moving beyond DevOps to support a "one-stop studio" model. Together, the RoX platform and RoX AI Studio are enabling a shift-left culture change: validate earlier, iterate faster, deploy confidently.　　Renesas RoX AI Studio is currently available to select customers with a broad introduction planned in 2026.
