Istanbul, Turkey ( forpressrelease ) November 14, 2024 - Future Electronics, a global leader in electronics components distribution, has partnered with Renesas to offer a hands-on workshop on November 28th in Istanbul, Türkiye. The workshop will provide developers with the necessary tools to advance their skills in microcontroller unit (MCU) design using the RA8D1 microcontroller.

With help from Future Electronics and Renesas representatives, developers will learn how to use Renesas' new RA8D1, a 32-bit graphics-enabled Arm® Cortex® M85 MCU from Renesas. Designed for use in both graphics and Vision AI applications, the RA8D1 features TFT-LCD control, 2D drawing capabilities, and advanced memory options.

The workshop will first help participants launch their first MCU project using the Renesas Flexible Software Package (FSP), scalable across the RA family of Arm MCUs. Attendees will then work alongside Future Electronics and Renesas representatives to launch their first GUI on a touch screen, using the 32-bit graphics-enabled MCU. Finally, participants will be taught how to access and use the Light and Versatile Graphics Library (LVGL). EK-RA8D1 evaluation kits will be provided.

In an effort to provide attendees with scalable skills for graphics and edge AI, Future Electronics will showcase two advanced software tools: Embedded Wizard (a tool for creating platform-independent and high-performance GUIs) and Edge Impulse (the leading development platform for machine learning on edge devices).
