DE Practical training provides an overview of Renesas Synergy™ and essential Application Programming Interfaces of the Renesas Synergy™ Software Package.
Munich, April 26, 2016 – MicroConsult, the Munich-based consulting firm for embedded technologies, is now offering a three-day standard training course and, upon request, a customized, customer-specific training course for the new Renesas Synergy™ platform, based on a new partnership with Renesas Electronics Europe.
Participants in the training courses gain an overview of Renesas Synergy™ and learn about the essential Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) of the Renesas Synergy™ Software Package (SSP). Over half of the training consists of extensive practical exercises. This hands-on approach enables developers to immediately create their first applications based on the Renesas Synergy™ platform.
Remo Markgraf, Senior Management Consultant at MicroConsult, explains the training concept: „Thanks to the new partnership with Renesas, we can optimally support our customers on their journey to quickly and easily developing applications, especially in the areas of Industry 4.0 and IoT. We have designed the new training concept to enable users to immediately create high-level solutions for complex challenges using the SSP, without having to deal with low-level system infrastructures.“
Today, companies of all sizes want to benefit from the growth in the Internet of Things and embedded systems. Developers therefore face numerous challenges: they must familiarize themselves with new technologies, develop software for low-level system infrastructures, perform integrations and tests – all under significant time pressure and with limited resources. These challenges are best met with a reliable embedded software platform like Renesas Synergy™. This frees up all resources previously tied up in creating and maintaining a complete system architecture to be immediately and directly available for product development.
Andy Harding, Director of Core Marketing at Renesas, says: „We are delighted to be working with market leader MicroConsult and to be able to offer this practical training to both customers and distributors. This is another step towards relieving the burden on developers working with new embedded designs – and thus, above all, shortening their development time.“
Renesas Synergy™ is a complete, thoroughly tested, and qualified platform with systematic maintenance and support. At the heart of the Synergy™ platform is the Synergy™ Software Package (SSP), which is qualified, supported, maintained, and serviced by Renesas. The SSP includes a real-time operating system (RTOS), comprehensive middleware, communication stacks, application frameworks, graphics and security libraries, and drivers for hardware abstraction layers—all accessible via a robust API. This allows software developers to begin developing their application software directly at the API level. The practical MicroConsult training courses help developers ensure a particularly quick and smooth start.
The first MicroConsult training course for Renesas Synergy™ is scheduled for May 23, 2016. Further dates, information, and registration options are available at [website address - please insert here].
