4.3” WQVGA Touch/Graphic Module
Featuring the Renesas RX621 MCU with LCD Direct Drive
Adding a graphic/touch interface to
your product has never been faster
than with Serious Integrated Mod-
ules. Simply connect power and a
communications port from your ex-
isting system to the SIM205 and
your hardware design is complete.
The SIM205 is an off-the-shelf, pro-
duction-worthy and prototype-friend-
ly 4.3” WQVGA TFT graphic/touch
module powered by the Renesas
RX600 MCU and supported by exten-
sive out-of-the-box software.

SIM205 Software and Support
Writing a full GUI application can be a daunting
task. Even before you write that first line of GUI
code you can waste months porting an OS and
developing the board support package, basic
support utilities, and graphics libraries. Serious
delivers out-of-the-box pre-ported software
that that gets you past these initial barriers in
minutes, not months – all with no-cost licenses!
makes Direct Drive nearly transparent to the applica-
tion, allowing you to write a GUI application that can
more easily port to other SIMs without Direct Drive.
Renesas Graphics API (GAPI)
The Renesas Graphics API, in source code with
documentation, is part of the demo application.
is a prototypers enclosure
designed for the SIM205,
and includes a USB-re-
chargeable Lithium Ion
battery.

SHIP Core Elements
Out-of-the-Box RTOSs & BSP
Pre-ported Pre-Licensed RTOSs
Pick the right RTOS for the job: SIM205 comes
with pre-ported single commercial full-production
licenses of both the
Micrium μC/OS-III
and
Seg-
ger embOS
professional-grade kernels as well
as the standard open-source
FreeRTOS
kernel.
Source-code for core elements from SHIP (“SHIP
Core”) are included with the SIM205, including mal-
loc/free replacements that allow multiple heaps and
easier debugging, a buffer allocation system (typically
for communications ISRs and messages), as well as an
OS Abstraction layer that allows projects to be writ-
ten identically for all supported RTOSs without #ifdefs!
Beyond these basic utilities, SHIP Core also includes ba-
sic CAN, SPI, I2C, and UART driver frameworks that you
can build upon for your applications’ specific needs.

from
Serious
in the US, and
worldwide
from
