The same PCB board is used for RZ/G2N, RZ/G2M and RZ/G2H kits since these parts are pin-to-pin compatible. The only difference is that the RZ/G2N board is populated with a single 4Gb DDR memory device while the G2M and G2H boards have dual 2Gb DDR memories.

The same PCB board is used for RZ/G2N, RZ/G2M and RZ/G2H kits since these parts are pin-to-pin compatible. The only difference is that the RZ/G2N board is populated with a single 4Gb DDR memory device while the G2M and G2H boards have dual 2Gb DDR memories.

Device Tree Rev2 Files

HiHope Device Tree files are located in Yocto under:

build/tmp/work-shared/hihope-rzg2m/kernel-source/arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/

NOTE: The file names below are for RZ/G2M (r8a774a1-hihope-rzg2m.dts), but the same applies for RZ/G2N and RZ/G2H Device Tree files.

If you have a sub-board attached (with the Ethernet connector), then you should use the "-ex" versions of the Device Tree.

Starting with VLP64 v1.0.4, the default Device Tree file will be for HiHope boards HIHOPE_RZ/G2_V3 boards or later.
You can find the version of your board printed on both the main board and sub-board.
Boards V3 or later

  • hihope-common.dtsi
  • r8a774a1-hihope-rzg2m.dts
  • r8a774a1-hihope-rzg2m-ex.dts


If you are using an older V2 board, then you will need to use the "-rev2" Device Tree Files.
Board V2 only

  • hihope-common-rev2.dtsi
  • r8a774a1-hihope-rzg2m-rev2.dts
  • r8a774a1-hihope-rzg2m-rev2-ex.dts


Enable I2C-0 on CN1801 Header

You need to add 2 new nodes in the Device Tree: One in the ‘pfc’ section to configure pin muxing, and another node at the global level to enable to I2C peripheral interface.
Edit the file:

build/tmp/work-shared/hihope-rzg2m/kernel-source/arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a774a1-hihope-rzg2m-ex.dts

and at the end of the file, add the following:

/*
 * Enable I2C0 on CN1801
 * GP3_14 = scl0
 * GP3_15 = sda0
 */
&pfc {
	i2c0_pins: i2c0 {
		groups = "i2c0";
		function = "i2c0";
	};
};
&i2c0 {  
    pinctrl-0 = <&i2c0_pins>;
    pinctrl-names = "default";
    status = "okay";
    clock-frequency = <100000>;
};

You can change the clock-frequency to 400000 if you like.

To rebuild the Device Tree:
1. Run this bitbake command:

bitbake -c devshell linux-renesas  

2. This will open a new window. In the new window, run:

make dtbs
exit

3. Now to repackage and copy the files into the 'deploy' directory, run this bitbake command:

bitbake linux-renesas -f -c deploy

4. Copy your new .dtb file to your SD card and boot. Then you should see the device /dev/i2c-0

5. If you have i2c-tools installed, you can use i2cdetect to confirm your device is accessible. For example:

root$ i2cdetect -y -r 0
     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f

"No Boot" Message

When you get the message:

No Boot
0x00000010 0x60018118 0x00000008 

If the prohibition setting is made in the Boot Mode setting, it will be in No Boot state.
On the HiHope-RZG2M board, the same error occurs when the following DIP SW settings are made. 0x60018118 indicates the value of MODEMR.

MD8 MD7 MD6 MD5 MD4 MD3 MD2 MD1 MD0
 1   0   0   0   1   1   0   0   0

Since MD5=0 is prohibited, it must be changed to MD5=1.
For eMMC Boot operation, it is necessary to change to MD1=1.

u-boot Configuration Files

The u-boot for the RZ/G2 configures the HW (peripherals and drivers) in multiple locations.
