Getting Started
1. Download the Linux BSP : Download the Linux BSP from renesas.com. More information can be found here
2. Build Environment : To build the BSP, you will need a Linux PC running Ubuntu 20.04.
3. Build the BSP : The instructions for building the BSP are located in the "Release Note" document that is included in the BSP download.
4. Prepare an SD Card : The evaluation boards are intended to be booted from SD Cards. These cards must be formatted and loaded using a Linux PC. A helpful script has been created (usb_sd_partition) that you can run on your Linux PC.
5. Boot the Board :
- Supply power the board using the USB-C connection on the carrier board labeled "Power Input"
- On the carrier board, press the red button in order to turn on power to the board.
- Plug a USB micro cable into the carrier board to the USB connector labeled "SER 3 UART". Use a serial terminal program to interact as you board (In Linux, we recomend "putty", in Windows we recommend "TeraTerm") with a baud rate of 115200 bps.
- Set the switches on the SOM board to boot from SD card. On the SOM (CPU) board, there is a little switch (SW1) by the SD card socket. Set both 1 and 2 to the "ON" position.
Boot from SD Card Boot from eMMC SW1-1 = ON SW1-1 = ON SW1-2 = ON SW1-2 = OFF +-----+ +-----+ | ON | | ON | | = = | | = | | | | = | | 1 2 | | 1 2 | +-----+ +-----+
- Insert the SD card into the socket on SMARC SOM CPU board (not the carrier board).
- Press the blue reset button, then enter the follow commands to boot the board.
=> mmc dev 0 ; fatload mmc 0:1 0x48080000 Image ; fatload mmc 0:1 0x48000000 /r9a07g044l-smarc-rzg2l.dtb => setenv bootargs 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p2' ; booti 0x48080000 - 0x48000000
- The login will be "root" (no password is needed)
Board Setup Information
Board Operation Information
Power ON ● Connect USB-PD Power Charger to USB Type-C Connector. Then LED1(VBUS PWR On) and LED3(Module PWR On) lights up. ● Press SW9 to turn on the power. Then LED4(Carrier PWR On) lights up. |
Debug Serial (Console Output) ● Debug serial uses CN14. The baud rate is 115200bps. ● Since the serial-USB conversion IC is not always powered, the Windows PC will recognize it after the power switch is turned on. ● If it is not recognized by your Windows PC, please install the driver�https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm |
