Renesas helps establish UK embedded systems lab

The two organisations have worked together for five years, with Renesas supplying a range of development tools and mcus. As a result, the university has named the new laboratory after Renesas. The faculty's new Renesas Embedded Systems Lab comprises 25 new high end terminals running cutting edge tools and was designed in collaboration with Renesas. "We're proud that the University of Glamorgan has decided to name their Embedded Systems Laboratory after Renesas, but even more honoured to be working with an organisation that gives tomorrow's electronics engineers the optimal start to their professional careers," said Stuart Archer European FAE manager at Renesas Electronics Europe. "The fact that students themselves have ranked the University first in the UK for electronics engineering in the latest NSS study bears witness to this exceptional level of commitment." David Scammell of the University's Faculty of Advanced Technology added: "We're very fortunate having our courses supported by the world's leading supplier of microcontrollers. Their latest donation of the RX62N demonstration boards will extend our students experience to 32bit devices and rtos supporting USB and Ethernet protocols."
