Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is ΣyGTM?
ΣyG is FDI’s family of Renesas Synergy-based GUI products. ΣyG products provide a complete hardware and software solution for developing embedded display projects. ΣyG products feature the Renesas Synergy software and microcontrollers for a complete and qualified development platform.
FDI released its ΣyG product family in October 2015 in conjunction with the biannual Renesas Devcon event as the first partner to have S7G2-based GUI products in distribution stock. FDI is uniquely qualified to provide Renesas Synergy GUI products as a Reneas Gold Alliance Partner, Renesas Independent Design House and Certified Training Center.
2. How is ΣyG pronounced?
“Sig”.
3. What’s the difference between ΣyG and μEZ® GUI?
ΣyG features Renesas Electronics’ proprietary hardware and software, Renesas SynergyTM. Synergy is a comprehensive, integrated platform designed to bring complex system designs to market fast.
Like μEZ GUI, ΣyG products include all the hardware, software and technical resources needed to develop high-value embedded designs with quick time-to-market. Unlike μEZ GUI, ΣyG products are optimized for customers who have a preference for developing with Renesas Synergy versus our FreeRTOS-based μEZ® software.
4. Why should I develop with Renesas Synergy?
Additional information about the features and benefits of Renesas Synergy are available on the Renesas Electronics website at: https://www.renesas.com/en-us/products/synergy/features.html
5. When will off-the-shelf ΣyG GUI products become available?
The priority and release schedules for FDI’s ΣyG GUI products is still being defined. FDI is working with a number of key customers to drive this effort. Preference will be considered for customers interested in providing direct influence to the feature set and details and will benefit by receiving end products that are optimized for their application.
If you are interested in partnering with FDI on the development of standard off-the-shelf ΣyG GUI products for your application please contact us at Sales@TeamFDI.com .
6. I need help deciding which product family is best for my design. How do I decide?
FDI offers 3 embedded display product families: μEZ GUI, ΣyG and ELI. These product families are most easily differentiated through a software decision path. If a software platform for your embedded application has already been decided, review this chart to help with your FDI product family decision:
