Virtual UART Application

Responding to demands for wireless serial communication and wireless communication between embedded modules, we have developed a virtual UART application that works with Bluetooth Low Energy technology. It has a simple AT command execution function to control and set Bluetooth LE communication, thereby realizing virtual UART communication where characters are transmitted/received via Bluetooth LE communication.

System Configuration/Modem Configuration

For Application Development Using a Host Microcontroller

For modem configuration, Bluetooth LE communication is realized via serial connection of a host microcontroller and RL78/G1D MCU. It is possible to flexibly respond to demands such as adding Bluetooth LE to an existing application. We also have host samples for Renesas microcontrollers. This enables the shortening of the development period.

System Configuration/Embedded Configuration

For Application Development in a Single Device

In embedded configuration, the application is feasible by fully leveraging functions of the RL78/G1D microcontroller. In this way, it is possible to create original applications.

Host MCU Simple API

Simple API can control the RL78/G1D or an RL78/G1D module (RY7011) from a host microcomputer with just 9 APIs, and can easily realize Virtual UART communication and beacon communication using Bluetooth Low Energy wireless communication. The remote side environment can be easily built with a smartphone and Renesas smartphone application "GATTBrowser" so you can start evaluating right away.
