New "Lab on the Cloud" offers instant access to Renesas' solutions

Renesas Electronics Corporation, a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, announced its new “Lab on the Cloud” environment. It includes Renesas’ solutions, evaluation boards, and software that’s hosted in a remote lab customers can access and test online.

The Lab on the Cloud provides users with quick access to Renesas’ solutions before they receive a physical board or start a design. Boards are configured remotely and connected to the Cloud, and users access the boards through an intuitive GUI. Live video of each board allows users to test, monitor, and measure results instantly.

The Lab on the Cloud environment uses a platform developed by Tenxer Technologies, and provides 24/7 access to and online support.

“Renesas recognizes the digital environment is rapidly evolving, and our goal is to be at the forefront of it,” said Chris Allexandre, senior VP of Renesas’ IoT and Infrastructure Business Unit. “We believe our Lab on the Cloud environment will be game changing for customers. By providing instant access to design tools, which typically take days or weeks to procure in hand, our customers can shorten their test time and, ultimately, time to market.”

Renesas is initially providing access to nine popular evaluation boards in the Lab on the Cloud environment, with more becoming available in the coming months.
