Renesas Ready Ecosystem Partner Solution

EEZ Studio

Solution Summary

EEZ Studio represents a unique solution when both rapid development of an attractive embedded or desktop GUI, including remote control of multiple devices and instruments for T&M (test and measurement) if automation is required. Many examples and a „Drag & Drop“ visual editor allows one to get started quickly with just a few clicks. EEZ Flow via visual programming simplifies the creation of complex programming logic. Attractive and feature-rich remote control or T&M dashboards can be developed fast and can also be distributed and run as standalone applications.
Support is available for the RA8D1, RA6M3 and RX72N MCU evaluation kits and expanding to suitable RA MCU, RX MCU family devices.

Let’s Flow into the touchable future

Embedded GUI design is enabled by visual “drag & drop” editor using ready made in-house developed Widgets and Actions. The popular open source multi platform LVGL is also supported. The generated code will only need to be compiled into the IDE of the target platform.
Unlike similar solutions that offer drag & drop GUI design, EEZ Studio also offers rapid prototyping and creation of the complete final solution thanks to low-code EEZ Flow for adding complex program logic using flowchart-like programming.
In addition to visual editing, the project can also be executed directly in EEZ Studio without the need for the often lengthy build and upload to the target device. Visual debugger, single step mode and expressions watcher will further shorten the development time.
When used to create desktop applications (info kiosks, tutorials, etc.) it is possible to build a stand-alone runtime that is easy to install and run.

  • Low-code flowchart-like programming
  • Multilanguage support
  • Source/Version control integration (GitHub and gitea.io)
  • Generate C/C++ code directly linkable to the target platform IDE (e.g. e² studio, Platform.io, Arduino IDE, etc.)
  • Animations
  • Unlimited number of Color Themes

Access multiple devices and T&M instruments from one place

Remote control of T&M (test & measurement) equipment to collect, process and visualize data either in the development and research phase or during the production process, requires the use of solutions that can be unattractive due to complexity, outdated design and high cost.
The EEZ Studio now enables this for free and supports popular interfaces and technologies to access multiple devices from one place. Initiating data logging, collecting screenshots or measurement data from the instrument’s memory buffer is possible in a few clicks. All data is stored in a database that is easy to search by various criteria. Import and export of collected data makes it easy to share data with colleagues and clients.

Automate tests and measurements

Thanks to EEZ Flow programming, EEZ Studio enables the creation of complex applications for managing multiple devices using different interfaces for the needs of automation of testing and measurements in all phases from development, production to everyday use.

  • Low-code flowchart-like programming
  • Multilanguage support
  • Source/Version control integration (GitHub and gitea.io)
  • Generate C/C++ code directly linkable to the target platform IDE (e.g. e² studio, Platform.io, Arduino IDE, etc.)
  • Animations
  • Unlimited number of Color Themes
