It's already confusing that a bunch of ARM parts use a "sh" pin controller. In reality, any Renesas device could be a peripheral mix of ex-Mitsubishi, ex-Hitachi, ex-NEC or Renesas original. Or, some IP was licensed from a 3rd party (ie, the SDHI/TMIO controller). The only thing consistent is "Renesas". > I agree on dropping the rz name, if more SoC will come and join the pin- > based PFC realm... I will suggest it for the next generation of SoCs, so we'll see what happens... Thanks, Chris
