Overview

Description

The RL78/G23-128p Fast Prototyping Board, featuring the RL78/G23 microcontroller, is ideal for various prototype developments. It supports AWS cloud connectivity via the Wi-Fi DA16600 module, OTA firmware updates, LoRa and LoRaWAN-based wireless communication, and so on by sample code. The built-in emulator circuit that is equivalent to E2 emulator Lite allows programming and debugging without extra tools. Additionally, it has Arduino Mega, Pmod™, and Grove interfaces, access to all microcontroller pins, and high scalability. It includes two touch buttons using a capacitive sensor unit, unique to RL78/G23. Renesas also provides an Arduino library that supports creating various programs (sketches) on the Arduino IDE.
