e² studio  is an integrated development environment (IDE) based on the open-source Eclipse C/C++ Development Tooling (CDT) software and supports other Renesas devices including the RZ/G Family and the Renesas Synergy microcontrollers (MCUs).

Expanded to support the R-Car V3M, the e² studio can now be used as a core tool for automotive SoC software development.

Renesas’ R-Car SoCs consist of a heterogeneous architecture with various types of intellectual properties (IPs), including CPUs and accelerators, to optimise power efficiency. Each IP uses its own programming languages, toolchain, trace interface, and debugging protocols, which enable system developers to maximize the functionality and performance of the IP to optimally develop various software and applications for ADAS and automated driving.

To make full use of the computing performance and low-power performance of each IP, including the integrated IMP-X5 image recognition engine, Renesas has added various new features to e² studio. System developers using e² studio for R-Car V3M can develop software for various IPs installed in the R-Car V3M with a  unified GUI.
