Featuring 106 new partners and 160 building block solutions the partnership programme has grown in the last three years to more than 200 partners, who collectively provide over 300 building-block solutions that work out-of-the-box with the RZ MPU and RA, RX and RL78 microcontroller (MCU) product lines. Customers are now able to scale from 8-bit to 64-bit product offerings with most partners.
The Ready Partner Network has evolved over the last three years as a plug-and-play option to help customers simplify their design processes and accelerate time to market and time to revenue. The solution ecosystem will continue to grow globally as additional partners join the program.
“Renesas has grown its world-class partner ecosystem for MCUs and MPUs, and we will continue to expand our network to make our customers’ lives easier,” said Sailesh Chittipeddi, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the IoT and Infrastructure Business Unit of Renesas. “With the addition of our RZ Family, we now have a single, strong global ecosystem of trusted partners across all of our products.”
“Ecosystems such as the Renesas Ready Partner Network are increasingly important thanks to the myriad solutions available for industrial IoT,” said Chip Rodgers, Chief Marketing Officer, WorkSpan, an ecosystem business management platform. “Design complexity has expanded multi-fold, and project timelines are much tighter. Partner ecosystems are critically important to build whole solutions to address real-world engineering problems, enhance collaboration and drive success.”
The Renesas Ready Partner Network leverages pre-developed third-party software and hardware building blocks. The solutions work ‘out-of-the-box” to solve real-world customer problems and are revised to keep up with every major release of the Renesas software platforms and tools.
The building blocks are identified with a product specific badge and come with easy to understand collateral and a demonstration project.
Interactive and immersive content is available in the form of technical demonstrations, video overviews, reference designs and whitepapers and covers a broad spectrum of technologies.
