Overview

Description

The Renesas Starter Kit for RX210 (B Mask) is intended as a user-friendly introductory and evaluation tool for the RX210 microcontroller. The board also provides a useful platform for evaluating the Renesas suite of development tools for coding and debugging, using High-performance Embedded Workshop. You can use the Renesas Starter Kit for RX210 (B Mask) in CubeSuite+.

The purpose of the board is to enable the user to evaluate the capabilities of the device and its peripherals by giving the user a simple platform on which code can be run only minutes from opening box. It can also prove an invaluable tool in development by providing a useful test platform for code already debugged using one of our more powerful emulation tools.
