Overview

Description

The RL78/G15 Fast Prototyping Board, featuring the RL78/G15 microcontroller, is ideal for various prototype developments. The built-in emulator circuit that is equivalent to E2 emulator Lite allows programming and debugging without extra tools. Additionally, it has Arduino Uno and Pmod™ interfaces, access to all microcontroller pins, and high scalability. Renesas also provides an Arduino library that supports creating various programs (sketches) on the Arduino IDE.

Features

  • Equipped with an RL78/G15 16-bit microcontroller (20-pin, ROM: 8KB, RAM: 1KB)
  • Programs can be written and debugged via the COM Port communication by connecting it to a PC with a USB cable
  • Able to access all the microcontroller pins
  • Standard Arduino Uno and Pmod™ interfaces
  • Arduino library available
  • Support for various RL78 software and tools
