Renesas hardware we work with
We support Renesas platforms across the RA, RX, and RZ families, with a strong focus on RZ MPUs for advanced HMI, embedded Linux, and medical device interfaces.
RZ/G3E - for next-generation HMIand edge-ready devices
RZ/G3E is the most important platform in our current Renesas work. It combines a quad-core Arm Cortex-A55, Cortex-M33, Arm Mali-G52 GPU, video support, display and camera interfaces, and an Ethos-U55 NPU for edge workloads. Renesas positions it for high-performance HMI applications, including industrial and medical HMI.
For us, RZ/G3E is especially relevant because it supports the kind of products we build every day: responsive interfaces, richer graphics, embedded Linux systems, and medical-grade applications. Our LumiLaser medical laser demo already runs on the latest RZ/G3E hardware.
RZ/G2L - for balanced embedded HMI
RZ/G2L is a proven MPU for entry-class industrial HMI and embedded devices with video capabilities. It includes a Cortex-A55 CPU, Arm Mali-G31 3D graphics, H.264 video codec, display output, camera input, USB, and Gigabit Ethernet.
We see it as a strong option for projects that need a practical balance between performance, graphics, connectivity, and development cost.
RZ/V2L - for vision and AI-enabled embedded systems
RZ/V2L is designed for applications where camera input, image processing, and AI-assisted workloads matter. It combines a dual-core Arm Cortex-A55 CPU, 3D graphics, video codec, and Renesas’ DRP-AI accelerator for vision AI.
It is a good fit for embedded products that need local image analysis, smart sensing, or vision-based functionality without relying fully on cloud processing.
RA and RX families - for control and device-level functionality
Beyond RZ MPUs, we also support Renesas RA and RX families for firmware, device control, and lower-level embedded development. These platforms are especially useful in systems where MCU-based control works together with an MPU-driven HMI.
