Overview

This software controls Renesas sensor products and acquires measurement data. It consists of the following two layers. The combination of these layers allows you to develop applied products easily and quickly using Renesas sensor products, without being aware of the type of MCU or the control method of the communication interface.

  • Sensor middleware layer: Provides API functions to control sensors
  • I2C communication middleware layer: Absorbs differences in I2C communication interface specifications that depend on MCU used.
Sensor Software Layer
Sensor Software Layer
  • Provide modules for each MCU platform (RA Flexible Software Package, RX Firmware Integration Technology (FIT), RL78 Software Integration System (SIS), RE Software Development Kit (SDK), RZ RZ/G2L Flexible Software Package (RZ/G2L FSP))
  • Provide common APIs that is independent for each MCU platform
  • RL78/G1x Middleware compliant with Code Generator
  • GUI (RA Configuration, RX Smart Configurator, RL78 Smart Configurator, RE Smart Configurator, RZ Configuration) setting is available for configuration.
  • Supports both non-OS use and RTOS use.
  • Since the control to the communication interface of MCU is done via the sensor communication middleware, user can develop software without being aware of the hardware and driver specifications of the communication interface.
  • The sensor API supports the calculation of measurement values using sensor-specific calculation methods. The user does not need to create calculation programs.
  • No need to obtain individual libraries
