(Huntsville, Alabama — October 18, 2012)
Future Designs, Inc. has introduced a new addition to their modular development platform that supports various size touchscreen LCD devices from multiple vendors. The new design supports the popular Renesas RX63N microcontroller (MCU). The DK-43WQT-RX63N includes an NLT / Tianma 4.3” TFT LCD with integrated touchscreen and is based on the Renesas RX63N 100MHz MCU with Direct Drive LCD logic. The “brain” of the system is a SOC module called the SOMDIMM-RX63N. This modular 200pin SODIMM is 2.66” x 1.89” and contains the RX63N microcontroller, along with 16MB of SDRAM, Ethernet PHY and support circuits. The kit includes the uEZ/FreeRTOS Operating System with a full complement of software driver support.
“We are pleased to release the first Direct Drive LCD TS GUI solution based on the powerful Renesas RX63N 32-bit microcontroller”, said Kent Lowman, Director at Future Designs, Inc. This new kit will be highlighted at the Renesas Developers’ Conference in Anaheim, CA on October 22-25, 2012. FDI will be presenting sessions on both GUI development using emWin on our Touchscreen LCD kits and on the uEZ/FreeRTOS Rapid Development Platform. Space is limited and registration is required. If you would like to attend these sessions, please register for Renesas DevCon here: https://devcon.renesas.com/global/.
The DK-43WQT-RX63N development kit is priced at $475.00 and is now available from any of our franchised distributors including Avnet, Digi-Key, and Mouser.
