bonus for participants

- Free PK-S5D9 Starter Kit.
- Workshop follow-up and tech assistance.

Renesas and Rutronik have teamed up with the Hardware Academy to help you get started with the first fully qualified embedded microcontroller software and hardware platform, the Renesas Synergy™ Platform.
Attendees will learn how to easily add secure connectivity to their application, with technologies including WiFi, BLE, Cellular, USB, MQTT and TLS.

Experience the Synergy Platform and the Synergy S5D9 MCU Group, including high-speed connectivity and rich user interfaces, using Synergy Software and Tools.

The Renesas Synergy™ Platform is a revolution in embedded design allowing you to programme at the API layer, reducing time spent on lower level code and instead, focusing on your application and what you do best – innovating! The platform combines four new, highly scalable Arm® Cortex®-M based MCU series with a massive software eco-system. All developed, warranted, maintained and supported as a product by Renesas.

There’s nothing to hold you back. Be agile. Test new market opportunities. There are virtually no up-front costs for full use of Synergy Software or Synergy Tools — it’s included in the price of any Synergy Microcontroller. No fees, no royalties. One-click licensing means downloads in minutes.

Participants will take home a free PK-S5D9 Starter Kit.
