Renesas RZ/G1M iwg20m

The iW-RainboW-G20D-Qseven development platform (iwg20m) is manufactured by iWave Systems Technologies and uses the Renesas RZ/G1M SoC. Full information about the platform can be found on the iWave Systems website.

The iwg20m development platform consists of four parts:
1) Renesas RZ/G1M (r8a7743) SoC
2) iWave iwg20m Qseven SoM
3) iWave iwg20d Qseven carrier board
4) iWave dbcm-ca HDMI/camera add-on board (optional)

From iWave Systems:

iWave's RZ/G1M development board incorporates RZ/G1M Qseven SOM Which is based on Renesas high performance RZ/G1M Dual ARM Cortex A15 MPU and the carrier board with optional 7” capacitive display kit. The development board can be used for quick prototyping of various applications targeted by the RZ/G1M processor. With the 120mm x120 mm Nano ITX size, the kit is highly packed with all the necessary on-board connectors to validate the RZ/G1M MPU features.

More information about the Renesas RZ/G1M SoC can be found on the Renesas website.

Building for the iwg20m Platform

Instructions on building the CIP SLTS Linux Kernel, the Renesas Yocto BSP and the Renesas SDK for the iwg20m platform can be found here.

Using the iwg20m Platform

FIXME

Switch Settings

Connect to the board

Power Supply

Use the 12V power supply that comes with the platform and connect it to J4 (POWER JACK) at the top right of the platform.

Serial Console

Use a microUSB cable to connect the host PC to the iwg20m platform, using J3 (DEBUG PORT). It is routed to SCIF0 on the RZ/G1M via UART to USB convertor FT232RQ.

Virtual COM port (VCP) Windows drivers are available from the FTDI Chip website. Unless using a very old Linux distribution, all FTDI devices should be supported.

Serial settings:
- Baud rate: 115200
- Data: 8 bit
- Parity: None
- Stop: 1 bit
- Flow control: None

Any standard terminal emulator program can be used.

Notes

There are some connectors on the iwg20d carrier board that do not connect to the RZ/G1M SoC due to pin multiplexing choices. These connectors are:
- J24 (HDMI CONN) - If you would like to use HDMI output, please use the HDMI connector on the dbcm-ca add-on board.
- J23 (DUAL USB 3.0 CONN) - Only the lower USB 3.0 port is connected.
