Montreal, Quebec ( prfree.org ) November 12, 2013 - Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, announces availability of the RX63N Hardware Platform Series from Renesas.

Renesas and Micrium have joined forces to present an exciting offer for production users of Renesas' flagship RX and RL78 MCUs. RX and RL78 customers can get a free, single production license for Micrium's real-time deterministic multitasking Kernel (uC/OS-II or uC/OS-III) and middleware (TCP/IP, USB, File System and others) plus free support and maintenance from Micrium at no cost during a one year development period. The new customer project must use a Renesas RX or RL78 MCU product and it must be used in a commercial application. New applicants who qualify for The Power of Two program can also get one free license seat for IAR Embedded Workbench, the popular C/C++ compiler and debugger tool suite. There are no royalties, no licensing fees, and full, clean, ANSI C source code is provided.

Renesas and Micrium have now added µC/GUI to "The Power of Two" promotion, including Touch Screen support. µC/GUI is universal graphical software for embedded applications that provides LCD GUI to applications using a graphical LCD. Designed for single and multi-task environments, µC/GUI is adaptable to nearly any size physical or virtual display with an LCD controller and CPU, and is delivered with all source code. Developers can add a state of the art graphical user interface with or without touch-screen support, and save time on current and future embedded projects, with best GUI written in C.

This offer is only valid in the Americas (North America, South America and Central America). The customer project must use a Renesas RX or RL78 MCU product and it must be used in a commercial application. Qualified customers can request any number of single-product licenses.
