YSAECLOUD1 Renesas Synergy™ Cloud Kit
Renesas' IoT development kit demonstrates Synergy Enterprise Cloud Toolbox application
The YSAECLOUD1 Renesas Synergy Enterprise Cloud Toolbox from Renesas Electronics delivers practical examples of how to connect devices to any of three major enterprise cloud service providers in under 10 minutes. The Synergy platform’s powerful combination of security and connectivity solutions come together to make up a practical IoT application that developers can customize for their own end-applications. The Synergy Enterprise Cloud Toolbox is a Synergy Application Project available for download from renesassynergy.com providing step-by-step documentation and complete software projects to securely connect hardware using Synergy MCUs to any of three enterprise cloud service providers (Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform™, or Microsoft Azure)in under 10 minutes. At no cost, developers can make this connection using a Renesas-hosted cloud account. They also can choose to integrate the connection with an existing cloud account. The Synergy Enterprise Cloud Toolbox enables users to visualize their sensor data on a private dashboard streaming live to the cloud from Synergy MCU-based hardware over Wi-Fi or a cellular connection. The full source for the dashboard is also included in the reference, further lowering the bar for developers to get started. The YSAECLOUD1 Cloud kit from Renesas accelerates design time, providing a faster time to market by connecting users embedded applications to the cloud quickly and easily.

Benefits
- IoT developers must factor in time spent on cloud connectivity devices they manufacture, deploy, and maintain over the lifetime of the products
- The Enterprise Cloud Toolbox takes care of several of the major challenges for developers of IoT application, without any need for complicated licensing schemes
Target Applications
- Deployed, networked IoT devices that monitor and/or control surrounding environment and mechanisms - just about anything that has a MCU connected to the network
- Home automation, industrial automation, building automation, and appliances
