Renesas to demo M85 powered AI-at-edge MCU at Embedded World 2022

After announcing of new processor core ARM Cortex M85 from ARM in the month of April 2022 , Renesas is the first semiconductor chipmaker to announce demonstration of fabricated Cortex-M85 RA microcontroller at popular MCU event Embedded World 2022 in Nuremburg Germany from June 21-24. ARM Cortex M85 features what it calls as Helium Technology, a vector computing at low power to handle audio/video streaming data/signal and any such data where AI/ML type processing can replace old style processing. This feature enables AI at edge at low power for industrial IoT application in smart factory. Renesas said it has introduced the RA (Renesas Advanced) Family of Arm Cortex-M based 17 MCU groups encompassing well over 200 individual parts with in 30 months after its announcement. Renesas supporting its customers with software ecosystem of partners in developing solutions for IoT, AI/ML, industrial automation, medical, building automation, home appliance and multiple other applications. “As a lead partner with Arm, we are proud to be the first to demonstrate an MCU based on the high-performance Cortex-M85 processor, a clear example of the momentum that we have built in the Arm ecosystem,” said Roger Wendelken, Senior Vice President in Renesas’ IoT and Infrastructure Business Unit. “The RA family has enjoyed tremendous success in a very short time, demonstrating the core strength...
