Press release · Stockholm · 1 May 2022
Dual Cortex-A55 with Cortex-M33 real-time core, Mali-G31 GPU, integrated CAN-FD and H.264 codec brings Renesas silicon to the TX and QS Family Concept.
Strategic Embedded has announced the TXRZ-G2L0 / G2L1 and QSRZ-G2L0 / G2L1 System-on-Modules — four new Renesas RZ/G2L-based modules covering both pin-compatible TX and 27 mm solder-down QS form factors. The RZ/G2L modules are Ka-Ro's first Renesas-based products — adding a third silicon vendor alongside NXP and STMicroelectronics on the TX/QS Family Concept.
Why Renesas RZ/G2L on Ka-Ro
- Linux + real-time on one die — dual Cortex-A55 application cores plus Cortex-M33 for deterministic control loops.
- Industrial I/O baked in — integrated CAN-FD controllers for transportation, factory automation, motor drives.
- Renesas long-term roadmap — RZ/G2L silicon backed by Renesas's industrial / automotive lifecycle commitments.
- Same TX or QS carrier board — drop in Renesas alongside NXP and ST on the same Family Concept.
