The RSKs has been developed to speed up code development and reduce time to market.

An RSK, as the name suggests, is a complete development kit for Renesas microcontrollers.

The kit includes:
> CPU board with target microcontroller
> LCD panel for user/diagnostic interaction
> On Chip Debugger (E8 or E8a)
> HEW integrated development environment (IDE)
> Trial C compiler (60 days then 64 K limited)
> Tutorial session
> Sample peripheral driver code for all major peripherals (device dependant) such as ADC, LIN, CAN, PWM, timers, UART, voltage detector and watchdog

RSKs have been developed to a common format. This enables the user to evaluate devices from different Renesas architectures using a common board and software platform. Also included in the RSK is a common “application” bus that ensures function connectivity to either Renesas or customer daughter cards.
With the Release of the RSK program customers have a common development platform for our new microcontrollers and a common price.
