Overview

Description

The RoX SDK (R-Car Open Access Software Development Kit) is an easy-to-start & easy-to-use development framework for the R-Car SoCs that includes the RoX Whitebox with open-source source, and the RoX license which includes commercial OS and application software from partners “MP ready” which can be licensed from our partners or from Renesas.

Re-inventing Software Development for Automotive Applications

The flexible RoX SDK is available in two versions. The open, easily accessible software package including royalty-free OS and hypervisor software such as Android Automotive OS, FreeRTOS, Linux, Xen RTOS, and reference applications designed for specific domain systems. The license package is based on industry-proven commercial software solutions, such as QNX, Electrobit, and Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System, as well as AUTOSAR-compliant software and SAFERTOS®. It is pre-integrated and tested to run on Renesas’ R-Car SoCs and MCUs and includes pre-validated software stacks from STRADVISION for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Candera CGI Studio for in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), and more.

With most deep-learning solutions available today building on consumer or server applications, which do not operate under the same stringent constraints for functional safety, real-time responsiveness, and low power consumption; Renesas released the RoX SDK for rule-based automotive computer vision and AI-based functions.

The simulation platform in the RoX SDK offers both AI and conventional hardware accelerators for highly accurate real-time simulations, while providing a full suite of development PC-based tools for both Windows and Linux.

Start your next development with a full set of sample software, popular CNN networks, workshop, and application notes that are all available on the Renesas website. The RoX SDK is also a perfect platform for benchmarking Renesas products and selecting the most appropriate SoC for your target application.
