Renesas Electronics Corporation has announced "Lab on the Cloud" environment providing instant access to popular application solutions. Renesas is initially providing access to 9 popular evaluation boards in the Lab on the Cloud environment, with more becoming available in the coming months.

Renesas Electronics Corporation announced its new “Lab on the Cloud” environment where Renesas solutions, including popular evaluation boards, winning combinations and software, are hosted in a remote lab that 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 in a remote lab 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 utilizes a platform developed by Tenxer Technologies, and provides 24/7 access to, along with online support for, Renesas solutions.

“Renesas recognizes the digital environment is rapidly evolving, and our goal is to be at the forefront of it,” said Chris Allexandre, Senior Vice President 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.”
