However, project schedules do not always scale accordingly.”  Solution: “Renesas is introducing an Eclipse-based Integrated Development Environment, providing powerful and flexible features that ease and accelerate creation and debugging of embedded code.” ‘Enabling The Smart Society’ © 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc.
