Getting Started with Embedded Coder Support Package for Renesas RA MCU

Kick-start your embedded development on Renesas^® RA microcontrollers by using the Embedded Coder Support Package for Renesas RA Microcontrollers. This video series shows you how to use this support package to quickly deploy your Simulink^® models to real hardware, eliminating manual coding, enabling early validation, and accelerating deployment.

Start by installing the hardware support package and setting up the hardware with the required third-party tools. Then, use Simulink library blocks included in the support package to quickly build and test applications on the Renesas RA6T2 MCU.

Learn to configure and use key peripherals, including GPIO (digital read/write), PWM, ADC, and interrupts, to create responsive embedded applications. Apply these concepts through practical examples such as controlling onboard LEDs, reading switch inputs, adjusting brightness, and capturing temperature data.

Use Monitor and Tune to visualize signals in real time and adjust parameters while the application runs on hardware, enabling faster iteration without rebuilding. Finally, verify your implementation by using processor-in-the-loop (PIL) testing. Run generated code on the target, compare results with simulation, and validate performance using both top-model and model-block PIL workflows.
