Renesas Accelerates Deep Learning Development for ADAS and Automated Driving Applications
Renesas Electronics Corporation has launched the R-Car Software Development Kit (SDK), designed to streamline software development for smart camera and automated driving systems in vehicles. The SDK offers a comprehensive platform that accelerates access to deep learning technology, tailored for automotive applications. It supports multiple operating systems and provides a full suite of tools for developers. This initiative addresses significant challenges faced in the automotive software development process, reducing installation times and enhancing usability for developers.
- The R-Car SDK simplifies and accelerates the software development process for automotive applications.
- It supports multiple operating systems, facilitating wider accessibility for developers.
- The inclusion of comprehensive development tools and pre-built software samples eases the onboarding process for new users.
- None.
New R-Car SDK is an Easy-to-Start & Easy-to-Use Development Framework for the R-Car V Series SoCs
“Software development and delivery has been a significant pain point for automotive system developers, involving resource-intensive customized packaging and full installations that typically take several days to complete,” said
Re-inventing SW development for Automotive Applications
Automakers are increasingly turning to deep learning as they look for new ways to enable smart camera applications and automated driving systems for next-generation vehicles. However, most deep learning solutions available today are built on consumer or server applications, which do not operate under the same stringent constraints for functional safety, real-time responsiveness, and low power consumption.
Optimized for use with Renesas’ state-of-the-art R-Car V3H and R-Car V3M system-on-chips (SoCs), the new R-Car SDK is built for rule-based automotive computer vision and AI-based functions. The simulation platform offers both AI and conventional hardware accelerators for highly accurate simulations in real time. Renesas will continue to strengthen this virtual platform over time. A full suite of development PC-based tools is delivered for both Windows and Linux as well as multiple libraries, including support for deep learning, computer vision, video codecs, and 3D graphics. Besides Linux, the new SDK also supports multiple ASIL-D-compliant operating systems (e.g., QNX®, eMCOS®, and INTEGRITY®) in a single package.
e² studio for R-Car Integrated Software Development Environment
Renesas offers a special version of its e² studio for the R-Car V series that focuses on the creation of high-performance, real-time computer vision applications for ADAS and automated driving. The open-source Eclipse-based development environment includes a full set of debug features and a cutting-edge e² studio GUI that allows users to easily customize and integrate third-party tools. It also supports bus monitoring and debug functionalities for image processing and deep learning subsystems.
Easy to Start, Easy to Access, Easy to Use, and Easy to Develop
The new R-Car SDK also includes a full set of software samples, popular
Thanks to the automatic installer, all the software libraries and the development environment can be launched quickly on a development workstation. Applications developed and designed on a PC can be seamlessly ported to embedded development hardware. Finally, Renesas’ R-Car partner ecosystem – the
Customers can also combine the R-Car V series and SDK with Renesas’ high-performance, low-power RH850 microcontrollers and automotive power management products to further streamline hardware design efforts, reduce functional safety validation requirements, and reduce power consumption for smart cameras and other computer vision-based applications.
