Overview
Description
GR-PEACH is the Gadget Renesas board for the Renesas RZ family's RZ/A1H group of microprocessors (MPU) products. Fully pin-compatible with Arduino UNO, GR-PEACH is an Arm® MbedTM enabled development platform. GR-PEACH takes advantage of web browser-based program development and a robust library selection. With the added appeal of 10MB of built-in RAM and the processing power of Arm CortexTM-A, GR-PEACH was created for the developer interested in high-speed prototyping of IoT devices with loads of HMI—graphics, touch panel, camera input, audio, network and more.
In addition, RZ/A1H FreeRTOSTM Software Package for GR-PEACH has been released.
In addition, GR-PEACH supports multiple platforms, .NET Micro Framework (MF), Arduino, and TOPPERS/ASP (RTOS). Click the platform figures below to be directed to the respective getting started pages.
