Reference Boards of

RZ/G2H, RZ/G2M, RZ/G2N, and RZ/G2E

Start-up Guide

Introduction

This document provides a guide to prepare RZ/G2 reference boards to boot up with the Verified Linux Package v3.0.x.

Especially, procedures to write bootloader to each board are explained.

Bootloaders are written to the Flash ROM on the board using the Flash Writer or the Mini Monitor provided by

Renesas. This document explains the way to write these files using the Flash Writer.

Preparing Flash Writer

Flash Writer is built automatically when building BSP by bitbake command. Please refer to the Release Note of the

Verified Linux Package to obtain a binary file of Flash Writer.

If you need latest one, please get source code from the GitHub repository and build it according to the following

instructions. In general, new revision of reference boards requires latest Flash Writer.

1.1 Preparing cross compiler

FlashWriter runs on target boards. Please get cross compiler built by Linaro or setup a Yocto SDK.

Linaro toolchain:

$ cd ~/

$ wget https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/7.3-2018.05/a

arch64-elf/gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_aarch64-elf.tar.xz

$ tar xvf gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_aarch64-elf.tar.xz

Yocto SDK:

Build an SDK according to Release Notes and install it to a Linux Host PC. Then, enable the SDK as below.

$ source /opt/poky/3.1.14/environment-setup-aarch64-poky-linux

1.2 Building Flash Writer

Get source codes of Flash Writer from the GitHub repository and checkout the latest tag.

cd ~/

git clone https://github.com/renesas-rz/rzg2_flash_writer.git

cd rzg2_flash_writer

git checkout -b tmp 6606c4f4351f56fb3bd84d7836c01c8932a4f884

Build Flash Writer as an s-record file by the following commands. Please specify a target board by “BOARD”option.

Linaro toolchain:

$ make -f makefile.linaro clean

$ CROSS_COMPILE=~/gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_aarch64-elf/bin/aarch64-elf-

make -f makefile.linaro BOARD=<board>

Yocto SDK:

$ make clean

$ make BOARD=<board>

Please replace <board> to a proper option according to this table.

1.1 Preparation

1.1.1 Building files to write

This board uses the files below as a bootloader. Please build them according to the Release Note and copy these files to

the PC which runs a serial terminal software.

•bootparam_sa0.srec

•bl2-hihope-rzg2h.srec (RZ/G2H) or bl2-hihope-rzg2m.srec (RZ/G2M) or bl2-hihope-rzg2n.srec (RZ/G2N)

•cert_header_sa6.srec

•bl31-hihope-rzg2h.srec (RZ/G2H) or bl31-hihope-rzg2m.srec (RZ/G2M) or bl31-hihope-rzg2n.srec (RZ/G2N)

•u-boot-elf-hihope-rzg2h.srec (RZ/G2H) or u-boot-elf-hihope-rzg2m.srec (RZ/G2M) or u-boot-elf-hihope-

rzg2n.srec (RZ/G2N)

1.1.2 Settings

Connect between the board and a control PC by USB serial cable according to the Release Note.

Set the settings about serial communication protocol on a terminal software as below:

•Speed: 115200 bps

•Data: 8bit

•Parity: None

•Stop bit: 1bit

•Flow control: None

To set the board to SCIF Download mode, set the SW1002 as below:

SW1002

OFF

Note) Be careful not to change the SW1001 and SW1003

1.2 Booting Flash Writer

Turn on the power of the board by changing the SW2402. Messages below are shown on the terminal.

SCIF Download mode (w/o verification)

-- Load Program to SystemRAM ---------------

please send !

Send an image of Flash Writer (AArch64_Flash_writer_SCIF_DUMMY_CERT_E6300400_hihope.mot) using terminal

software after the message “please send !” is shown.

Below is a sample procedure with Tera Term.

Open a “Send file” dialog by selecting “File” → “Sendfile” menu.

Then, select the image to be send and click “Open” button.

The image will be sent to the board via serial connection.

After successfully download the binary, Flash Writer starts automatically and show a message like below on the

terminal.

Flash writer for RZ/G2M V1.00 Sep.24,2019

1.3 Writing Bootloader

“xls2” command of Flash Writer is used to write binary files. This command receives binary data from the serial port

and write the data to specified address of the Flash ROM with information where the data should be loaded on the

address of the main memory.

This is an example of writing “bootparam_sa0.srec” which should be placed to E6320000h of the main memory to

000000h of the Flash ROM.
