Development Tools

User-Friendly Development Tools to Simplify the Development of Embedded Applications

Renesas Electronics supports your entire development process for embedded applications through development tools such as easy-to-use emulators and programming tools, as well as integrated development environments (e² studio and CS+) that greatly enhance your development environment. The integrated development environments support use of the Solution Toolkit extension plug-ins, which accelerate development and reduce total costs. CS+ also supports model-based development, which is handy if you are developing in-vehicle systems. We offer a rich range of licenses for compilers to suit various scales and types of development.

Available to Support Switching from One MCU or IDE to Another

Migrating to an MCU or integrated development environment (IDE) that has advantages relative to the one you are currently using can provide a way of improving the performance of applications and the efficiency of development of systems in an IDE. Migration guides are available to support switching from one MCU or IDE to another.

EMEA Regional Customer Support

Support resources for customers in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

Tool Registration

For customers in the Americas, Brazil, EMEA, and India. Renesas software products may require registration and a license key before they can be used.
