Future RZ/G2L Training
November 16, 2021
1:00PM-3:00PM EST
Agenda
TBD
Equipment
- RZ/G2L EVK (SMARC SOM + Carrier)
- micro SD Card (Class 10 card or better, 2GB or bigger)
- micro SD Reader/Writer (USB) (Example: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046TJG1U)
- HDMI LCD (https://renesas.info/wiki/RZ-G/RZ-G2L_SMARC#LCD_Monitors)
- Micro HDMI to HDMI adapter/cable (shipped with LCD if you select the correct one)
- USB-C Power Supply (Example: USB PD Charger Anker PowerPort III 65W Pod)
- USB Type-C cable CB-CD23BK (manufactured by Aukey)
- MIPI-CSI Camera (Coral MIPI camera, can get from Amazon)
- (Optional) Logitech C920 or C922 USB camera
Pre-Training Setup
Software to Download and Install
- balena Etcher ( https://www.balena.io/etcher/ )
- TeraTerm ( https://osdn.net/projects/ttssh2/releases/ )
- USB-to-Serial Drivers for FTDI FT230X (https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/ )
- Download ZIP file of SD Card image (Link TBD)
Program micro SD Card Image using a Windows PC
1. Unzip the SD card image file. Note that after you unzip, the .img file will be pretty big.
2. Plug in your SD Card into your PC using the USB adapter
3. Use the balena Etcher application to program the .img file into your SD card. That program is so easy to use, we don't need to write any instructions for you.
4. After programming is all done, you can place your SD card into the slot ON THE CARRIER BOARD (as in, the one next to the Ethernet ports).

SD Card Socket
(Optional) Build the RZ/G2L BSP
- This will not be required for the training. However, you are free to do this before the training in case you want to be prepared to ask questions.
- You will need a Linux PC running Ubuntu-20.04, a pretty good internet connection, and the build will take multiple hours.
- When we send a board to a customer, we will point them to this page so they can know where they need to go in order to download the software and what document thee should start to read. Also, we can offer more clarification up front for details that might be a little 'hidden' inside the documentation. Also on that page, there is a "Simple build instructions for BSP v1.1" that will allow you to basically copy/paste in the build commands can get from-A-to-B the fastest without missing a step.
- You will see from the instructions on the web page that there are addition tools and utilities (scripts) available for the customer that are not mentioned in the official documentation on renesas.com. The reason is because these are prepared by the AE team, not the core Software Development team.
Lab Procedure
(Rough Agenda)
- Show online Resources available to customers
- Boot the board with the SD Card that was created
- Show How to run Demos
- Explain/Show how the BSP is build
- Explain/Show how the Bootloaders are updated in SPI Flash (Window PC method and Linux PC method)
