AWS connecting cellular wireless cloud development kits from Renesas

Leading microcontroller chip maker Renesas to support its customers to quickly develop IOT Cloud products, it has announced two cloud development kits CK-RA6M5 and CK-RX65N, providing a complete connectivity solution for the RA and RX Families of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs). To enable secure wireless connection between microcontrollers and cloud services such as AWS Cloud and IoT services without a gateway these cloud kits uses Renesas’ RYZ014A Cat-M1 module, a certified LTE cellular module. The kits pack RYZ014A Cat-M1 Pmod module, number of sensors, microcontroller, hardware-based security, and a reliable software stack. These new kits designed to run on AWS (Amazon Web Services) FreeRTOS for CK-RA6M5 using FSP (Flexible Software Package) and CK-RX65N using RDP (RX Driver Package). Once connected to AWS IoT Core, the kits have access to many Cloud and IoT services from AWS for data analytics and IoT device management. “We are pleased that the Renesas cloud kits are qualified AWS Partner Devices. Renesas’ IoT cloud kits are great examples of hardware and software platforms that can help IoT developers to realize the full potential of AWS IoT services and accelerate solution development,” said Muneyuki Watanabe, Director, Head of Partner Alliance, Amazon Web Services Japan. “The new cloud kits combine highly secure MCUs, AWS libraries, the FreeRTOS software...
