Renesas Electronics’ R-Car Virtualization Software Package Paves Way for Integrated Cockpit and Connected Car Devices with Hypervisor for R-Car System-on-Chip

TOKYO, Japan, June 28, 2018 – Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced the “R-Car virtualization support package” that enables easier development of hypervisors for the R-Car automotive system-on-chip (SoC). The R-Car virtualization support package includes, at no charge, both the R-Car hypervisor development guide document and sample software for use as reference in such development for software vendors who develop the embedded hypervisors that are required for integrated cockpits and connected car applications. A hypervisor is a virtualization operating system (OS) that allows multiple guest OSs, such as Linux, Android™, and various real-time OSs (RTOS), to run completely independently on a single chip. Renesas announced the R-Car hypervisor in April of 2017 and the new R-Car virtualization Support Package was developed to help software vendors accelerate their development of R-Car hypervisors.
