RISC-V based ASSP Offered in Collaboration with Ecosystem Partners Delivers Complete, Production-Ready Motor Control System Solution
September 8, 2022
RISC-V ASSP for Motor Control
TOKYO, Japan ― Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today introduced the industry’s first RISC-V MCU specifically optimized for advanced motor control systems. The new solution enables customers to benefit from a ready-to-use, turnkey solution for motor control applications, with no development cost. Customers benefit from reduced time to market and cost reductions with the delivery of a pre-programmed ASSP that eliminates RISC-V related tools and software investment. Target applications for the new solution include home/building automation, healthcare devices, home appliances, drones and more.
Renesas has taken a leadership role in delivering RISC-V embedded processing solutions, having recently introduced the 64-bit general-purpose RZ/Five MPUs based on a 64-bit RISC-V CPU, and announcing development of RISC-V automotive solutions, as well.
“As the leading embedded processing provider, Renesas delivers the solutions our customers demand across any number of platforms” said Roger Wendelken, Senior Vice President in Renesas’ IoT and Infrastructure Business Unit. “This RISC-V-based ASSP offers an optimum combination of low cost, quick time-to-market, and outstanding performance. It complements our current portfolio nicely, reaching out to new customers and emerging markets across the globe.”

Optimized Solution in Collaboration with Global Partners​

Renesas’ new R9A02G020 motor control ASSP is based on RISC-V processing IP from Andes Technology Corp. Franklin Lin, CEO of Andes, said, “We are thrilled to have Andes' entry-level RISC-V processor IP providing computing power in Renesas' R9A02G020 MCU ASSP. We believe Renesas making a powerful, low-power MCU ASSP available to the market will accelerate the incorporation of RISC-V in a broad array of applications. It will also encourage software developers to produce more creative and efficient applications for RISC-V, thus speeding up adoption of this next generation paradigm.”
Renesas will deliver the new RISC-V ASSP pre-programmed with specialized application code developed by leading Independent Design Houses (IDHs) BFG Engineering and DigiPower (HK) Technology Ltd. Both BFG and DigiPower have specialized expertise in the motor control field and proven customer support capability. BFG is famous for sensor-less algorithms that allow customers to reduce motor start-up times. DigiPower has been creating cost-optimized, scalable motor drive solutions since 2008 and has designed specific solutions for control of refrigerator compressors, fans, pumps and more. Both BFG and DigiPower will work with customers to finalize designs and aid the transition to production.
SEGGER Microcontroller GmbH has also partnered in this effort. The complete SEGGER ecosystem, including Embedded Studio and J-Link, was a key element used to create and test these motor control solutions.

Nope.. Not a flying chance..

Things like "Rich analog IP functionality" don't sound like the sweet ring of AKIDAs bell, which is digital..

There's nothing in there, that has even a whiff of AKIDA, to my well trained nose (which is admittedly not trained to smell tech )..

Renesas, makes oodles of products..

If the agenda of the upcoming Edge Impulse "Imagine 2022" conference on 28-30 Sept is anything to go by, we should be pretty excited of what's to come out of EI. Looks like they're really backing BRN.

- 2x Brainchip presentations over the first 2 days.
- Brainchip looks like open the 2nd day

Quality list of companies presenting also.

Imagine 2024 - The conference for edge AI

Join us for the premier edge AI event for the real world, with presentations and demonstrations from top technology leaders and innovators.

I lived in Greece for many years and every Easter pretty much everyone in Greece would have a lamb cooking on the spit! So good!

I’m salivating just thinking about it

The photo brings back some great memories. 5 of us were partners in a ski boat. When we all went bush with our partners/mates for the weekend to our favourite dam, we'd pre-order a lamb from the nearest town butcher. We used a 44 gallon drum cut in half on a frame which we'd fill full of wood to build up the coals. I owned the chain saw so I'd find a fallen tree outside the camping area to cut up for wood. Thankfully there were permanent caravan spots on site with power outlets so we'd join 2 x 25m heavy duty extension cords on a real to plugin the spit from our camping spot. I also took along my jetski. To be young and carefree again.

Don't worry folks, if you don't understand. We're just trying to determine if we are 5th cousins (its a wog thing)

I just followed my nose, the saliva trails and those blasted ringing bells.

What I think about all things APPLE is after years of fruitless rabbit holes that it is very clever at hiding the nuts and bolts of how it is actually doing anything.

They are also ruthless in cutting loose any partner that discloses they are working with APPLE without permission.

They are also litigious in the extreme and adopt a take no prisoner scorched Earth approach where even if they lack merit they will spend and spend on their lawyers crushing the smaller player with the costs of the action.

In consequence my view has become their corporate veil is made of titanium and unless APPLE says in black and white in an official statement we are using "X" technology in our device they will drive you mad with their red herrings and misdirection's.

This would be the first time I have posted anything about APPLE in a very long time and I likely will not post anything about APPLE for a similar time into the future now that MegaChips exists as the convenient foil to anyone knowing who is using the AKIDA technology solution.

The last time I posted anything potentially APPLE related was way back on HC when I speculated that the statement by Ken Scarince that one particular customer had made it perfectly clear that any leak suggesting they were dealing with Brainchip would see them walk away and I suggested that this was consistent with the well known approach by APPLE. Is this enough evidence to base an investment thesis on most definitely not but sometimes I count APPLES instead of sheep when I cannot go to sleep.

My opinion only DYOR - and good luck if its into APPLE.

Even if it wasn't Apple FF, it most certainly would have been a major player so either way it's a significant dot. A dot that might well provide some of the revenue that our CEO directed that we look out for....bring on the next quarterly.
