In modern embedded design, engineers often struggle with disconnected workflows, manual component searches and limited system-level awareness. Renesas 365 directly addresses such challenges by connecting previously isolated tools such as embedded software files, datasheets and application notes into a streamlined, cloud-managed platform. With Renesas 365, engineering teams can collaboratively explore architectures, co-develop hardware and software and make system-level design decisions backed by real-time insights.

Following its concept introduction, Renesas is now launching the first phase of Renesas 365 by integrating over 550 variants of the RA family of microcontrollers (MCUs), an industry-leading Arm®-based MCU portfolio together with a full suite of development tools.

Using model-based evaluation and optimization technology, engineers can now rely on Renesas 365 as an intelligent design environment that actively assists with selecting the right MCU based on full system requirements. Rather than filtering datasheets in isolation, engineers receive guided recommendations informed by pin usage, peripherals, timing, power and how devices align with system building blocks. This means tasks that typically take an engineer an hour reviewing data sheets and tool requirements can now be accomplished in minutes, dramatically reducing evaluation time. This system-level intelligence accelerates design convergence, minimizes downstream rework and enables faster time to market while supporting more robust, efficient and cost‑effective embedded designs.

“The general availability of Renesas 365 marks a pivotal milestone in realizing Renesas’ Digitalization Vision,” said Gaurang Shah​, Vice President and General Manager of Embedded Processing at Renesas. “By delivering the first phase of an intelligent design environment that supports early-stage development, we are laying the groundwork for the next phase, where hardware and software subsystem elements will be maintained within Renesas 365. This helps our customers build, scale and sustain next-generation software-defined products faster and at lower cost.”

Together with the e² studio integrated development environment (IDE), Flexible Software Package (FSP) and smart documentation, engineers can leverage integrated design workflows specifically created for RA MCU devices, including sensing, power management and compiler support.

Key features of Renesas 365 include:

Existing customers can link their current projects in e² studio with Renesas 365 and start using the platform immediately, while developers starting a new project are guided through system-level component and solution discovery to identify compatible devices and evaluate feasibility. This system-level context awareness significantly accelerates early-stage development and reduces iterations.

Digitally Connected Hardware and Software Configurations

As engineers make modifications to their system, the platform automatically records iterations and connects them with system-level design elements so teams can revisit any previous hardware and software configurations. With a context-aware smart system, Renesas 365 helps identify resource or design constraints, suggests resolutions and assists teams to make design decisions with fewer iterations and confidence. Moreover, Renesas 365 lets customers manage and update RA‑based devices even after initial design through an integrated over‑the‑air (OTA) capability.

An Open Platform Built for Flexibility

Renesas 365 is an open, scalable platform that mirrors how electronic systems are developed in the real world. Developers have the option to incorporate third-party components, sensors and partner tools directly into their system designs. This open approach allows teams to evaluate tradeoffs and consider mixed vendor architectures to customize solutions with integrated system-level context.

Growing the Renesas 365 Ecosystem

Now under development, the next phase of Renesas 365 will pave the way for completed subsystem building blocks to be modeled as platform-maintained components. As part of this effort, more Renesas product families will be supported, and the component ecosystem will include more third-party devices. Subsystem components such as peripheral configuration, power management and software will be automatically defined, maintained and validated for compatibility. With these customizable building blocks, customers will accelerate time to market, reduce engineering effort, and gain access to cutting-edge technologies.

Renesas will showcase Renesas 365 at embedded world 2026 in Nuremberg in two separate locations.

Renesas 365 Booth (Hall 4, Stand 305/4-305): Dedicated to the Renesas 365 solution, Booth 4-305 will feature live demonstrations on integrated RA workflows, model‑based system exploration and intelligent validation.

Renesas Booth (Hall 1, Stand 234/1-234): Showcasing products across Renesas’ comprehensive portfolio of leading-edge semiconductor solutions with presentations and demos.

Renesas Announces General Availability of Renesas 365

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander isn't scoring the way he usually does, but the Oklahoma City Thunder are still winning the way they normally do.

Gilgeous-Alexander, the reigning NBA MVP, averaged 31.1 points during the regular season. In the Western Conference semifinals against the Los Angeles Lakers, he is averaging 20 points and taking only 14 shots per game.

Oklahoma City has still won the first two games by an average of 18 points. Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren each scored 22 points, and the defending champion Thunder beat the Lakers 125-107 on Thursday night.

Ajay Mitchell, starting in place of injured Jalen Williams, is averaging 19 points on 50% shooting in the series for Oklahoma City.

“I think the coaching staff does a good job at just getting all of us ready,” said Mitchell, a second-year guard. "And we have a lot of competitors. Like, everyone’s a competitor on our team. So every time the lights are bright, everyone’s ready to go.”

Holmgren is the leading scorer for the Thunder in the best-of-seven series with 23 points per game. The 2026 All-Star also is averaging 10.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks.

Jared McCain, a midseason acquisition from the Philadelphia 76ers, barely played in the first round against Phoenix but has averaged 15 points and made 8 of 10 3-pointers in the series.

“He goes in there, stays in character, stays aggressive," Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. "He’s going to shoot the next shot. He makes the right plays, plays inside the team. He competes defensively, has had good defensive possessions for us. And he was huge tonight. You need that in a playoff series.”

The Lakers again were without scoring champion Luka Doncic, who is out indefinitely with a strained left hamstring. They also were missing forward Jarred Vanderbilt, the reserve forward who dislocated the pinkie on his right hand during the second quarter of Game 1. The Lakers had three players finish with five fouls, limiting their aggressiveness late in the game.

Los Angeles guard Austin Reaves, who struggled with his shot in Game 1, scored 31 points on 10-for-16 shooting in Game 2. LeBron James, coming off a 27-point effort in Game 1, followed that up with 23.

With the Lakers up 63-61 early in the third quarter, Gilgeous-Alexander got tied up with Reaves and was called for his fourth foul. Upon review, it was upgraded to a flagrant 1 for Gilgeous-Alexander's follow through. Oklahoma City's Alex Caruso was called for a technical foul as the situation was being sorted out.

Gilgeous-Alexander left the game with the Lakers up 65-61, but the Thunder rallied and took control without him. On a fast break, Holmgren found a trailing Jaylin Williams, who hit a 3-pointer and was fouled. His free throw put the Thunder up 85-74.

The Thunder outscored the Lakers 32-15 while Gilgeous-Alexander was out in the third quarter to take a 93-80 lead into the fourth.

“It was amazing," Gilgeous-Alexander said. “They strung together stops, they’re playing the right way offensively and things are going their way. Full confidence in those guys. They know how to win basketball games. And we've proven that. They’ve proven that no matter who’s on the floor, they know how to get the job done. And they just did it again tonight."

The Lakers cut Oklahoma City's lead to five in the fourth quarter before the Thunder pulled away again.

Los Angeles will host Game 3 on Saturday.

“We just stuck with it,” Holmgren said. “It’s the game of basketball. It’s not always going to go your way. It’s about how you respond. And this team has proven many times that we know how to respond. And we did so tonight.”

This story has been corrected to show that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 20, not 19, points per game against the Lakers.
