 So here's a new ARM processor right here at the renaissance booth and hi, so who are you? Hi, my name is Mark Roots. I'm with renaissance. I'd like to tell you today about the new RZ G2 a Group of microcontrollers that we just announced. It's a group. Yeah, so which one am I looking at here? What is this? This is the RZ G2 right here this device. It's a multi-core ARM Cortex A53, A57 device and So it's right here A57, A53. Oh, that's a different one, yeah But so 57, 53 you say? No, it is A53, A57 combination so at the low end we have two A53 cores. At the high end we have eight cores So there are four A57s and four A53s These devices are for industrial applications that are mission critical Which means they have very high performance a multi-core up to 1.5 gigahertz operation Five gigahertz 1.5 gigahertz And the memory is protected on these devices with error correction code capability both internal memory and external memory How do you say you protect the memory is something special about how you do it? Yeah in hardware There's actually some error correction code hardware that will detect and and fix errors So these are 16 nanometer devices And the smaller the geometry the more susceptible any geometry is for alpha particle Penetration or corruption of data or code. So having ECC will detect and correct those permission critical After you say 16 nanometer 16 FinFET the whole chip the whole chip yet the whole chip is on a 16 nanometer FinFET And so that means it's not too far hungry Correct dynamic current is very good So high performance ECC correction for the memory so reliability for industrial applications But on the software side renaissance Distributes a linux package a verified linux package that's tested integrated and released by renaissance With the middleware linux core Linux kernel but inside the the linux package is a cip linux kernel that is maintained for 10 years For for updates you're maintained. So you're talking about industrial grade linux Cip what is this cip? So cip is part of the linux foundation organization and it's a civil infrastructure platform project And it's renaissance. It's a semen's it's a tachi and tashiba are the main contributors and as a Community we maintain that for for 10 years Nice, let me jump over here on the other side Right here. So uh, are you showing something about it? Yeah, so This is an example of the capabilities of rzg2 in this case. It's a video phone application Where we have one one board. This is one processor from one camera and underneath here's another board for the other camera and it's creating a video phone using the many Camera inputs and video outputs for this processor. So this processor is capable capable of 2k and 4k video So 4k video decode with h2.65 protocol Very efficient very fast So what does it do? So here we're we're uh, this is simulating a video phone one camera for this side one camera for this side Ah video call. Yep, and it has the audio as well. And what this is a big board right here is an evalation board or? Yeah, so this is board was For internal development, but this board is the one that'd be commercially available So this is a 96 boards form So it's an enterprise edition 96 boards correct Can we can I look under here a little bit? So you have a heat sink on the chip? Yeah, so heat sink is that always necessary, but for a high graphic intense applications. There is a need for cooling but this is a 1.5 gigahertz processor And what do you have here connected is a module? Yeah, so that's an extension board to connect external devices or Developments so high speed buses come out there External memory those type of things for development. It's made together with hopper on the art You call it the hi-hop Is that the is that the module right the board itself is comes from the company hi-hop At the whole board. Yeah, and this is the development platform So the development board is developed and together with hope hopper on and available for sale Yes, so a little of the year they'll be available for sale For a good price And so um, so how does it compare with all the other solutions like nobody's doing this kind of stuff The biggest differentiator for this is the the verified linux package from renaissance that we maintain We distribute but inside of that linux package is the 10 year support for the Cip linux kernel and that includes security updates over the 10 years It includes back porting of major features During that a big portion of that time, but also for real-time patches So linux is not normally known for real-time operating characteristics But with these real-time patches we get that much closer to determinism And very fast response time. Is this a new new deal that she did the cip into this Real-time this embedded kind of support. Yes, cip was formed a couple years ago Like I mentioned those four companies renaissance seamen's hitachi and toshiba and others So this is the the beginning of this industrial grade linux that has long-term support for many customers in this industrial space So all the security updates are just going to come out for 10 years for 10 years Yeah, some back porting features security updates and also real-time patches and the market are All the industrial markets you can think of or yeah robotics This is for industrial human machine interface. So gateways user interfaces with with high-definition monitors For building automation for surveillance cameras For robotics as motor control. So many of those embedded linux applications. Can you provide automatic testing system? Are you part of the narrow? Testing systems or no, but renaissance does test and integrate and test these these linux Distribution releases and we supply the test code to our customers so they can test in their system for linux compatibility Is this a previous board that you had or yeah, so this is the rzg2. This is the second generation 64 bit Yeah, and this is our first generation rzg1 that is 32 bit. So this has been around for several years So we're we're uh, we're migrating and we're evolving from 32 bit here to 30 to 64 bit with the vortex Um 853 87 so essentially this is arm v8 seven architecture. This is arm v8 Arm v8 architecture and v8 adds a lot of things that are good for the embedded markets Yeah for for this class of 64 bit. Yes performance extra capability Yes All right, so So this is shipping so these are sampling now and by the end of the year we'll have mass production for two of the four groups and then by the middle of next year we'll have mass production For the other two so there's there's four different groups of processors. Can you just show here? So you said it starts with two a 53s is the smallest one. Yeah, so Currently we are announcing these two that are sampling now and these are two cortex a 53 processors And this one is six This is two a 57 to a 53 These are sampling now mass production at the end of the year and on these two will be sampling Next year and also mass production next year, but these are all compatible families
