Renesas RZ/T1: High performance real time applications welcome

R for Real-time

We are very excited to have partnered with Renesas Electronics to introduce support for the recently announced Renesas RZ/T1 product series in ARM DS-5 Development Studio. The new device family comprises ten ARM Powered® products aimed at industrial applications that require both high performance and real-time predictability. Based on an ARM® Cortex®-R4 processor operating at up to 600 MHz, the product line also includes configurations that feature a Cortex-M3 core to enable highly integrated asymmetrical multi-processing (AMP) applications. Visit Renesas website (English/Japanese) if you want to learn more about the RZ/T1 series.

Renesas RZ/T1 in DS-5

ARM DS-5 is a complete software development tools solution for RZ/T1 users. It includes efficient C/C++ code generation for both ARM cores and full support for synchronous and asynchronous AMP debug.

Some benefits of DS-5 for RZ/T1:

  • ARM Compiler 5: industry reference C/C++ compiler for Cortex-R4 and Cortex-M3 processors, compatible with the widest range of RTOS, middleware and third-party tools
  • Simultaneous debug connections to both ARM processors
  • Collection, decode, synchronization and visualization of trace data from ARM CoreSight™ ETM (Embedded Trace Macrocell) and ITM (Instrumentation Trace Macrocell) units for faster bug finding
  • TÜV SÜD certified compiler and compiler qualification documentation for functional safety certification
  • Built-in OS awareness for leading commercial real time operating systems (RTOS)
