9. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.9 How is Renesas helping? FIT = Firmware Integration Technology FIT is a global set of Renesas standards enabling creation of quality, easy-to-use, interoperable firmware that addresses your needs

10. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.10 What is FIT? FIT is a set of rules and guidelines to help you get to market faster and easier Examples of what we have improved: Insertion into customer’s project Integrating multiple modules Simple configuration Common documentation practices Common file and directory structure Resource sharing for projects with multiple tasks Strong foundation to build code on top of Mixture of compile-time and run-time configuration options

11. © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.11 FIT Philosophy Provide strong foundation to build on Ease of integration and use is paramount Efficiently manage available resources MCU Resources Functionality
