Simply Download latest image files, .bat and macro files using the following URL: https://avnet.me/RZBoard_emmc
An easy scripted procedure is provided to program the following pre-built bootloader image files via the SCIF interface (ie. USB-Serial cable) into QSPI or eMMC flash memory on Rubboard:

• flashwriter_RZBoard.mot Flashwriter image tool
  Once downloaded, this is used to program the following two bootloader images into eMMC

• bl2_bp-RZBoard.srec bootloader image in Motorola S-Record format, ARM TFA (Trusted Firmware-A ) BL2 image

• fip-rzboard.srec which is a combination of bootloader image, ARM TFA (Trusted Firmware-A ) BL31 and u-boot combined image

Note: Complete steps 1-6 below, prior to running the provided flash_bootloader.bat file (step 7)

1. Download the latest image files, .bat and macro files from https://avnet.me/RZBoard_emmc and  extract the zipped files to a staging folder on the development computer

2. Edit Windows Ethernet network adapter settings for the development computer: Set it’s IPv4 properties to static IP Address 192.168.1.88

3. In the staging folder, edit the config.ini file (update the COM port#, the IP Address and ensure that this lists the matching filenames names for Bootloader image files and the Linux System image file)

4. Power-off RZBoard

5. Place RZBoard into “SCIF download boot-mode” by setting BOOT[2:0] to b101 ie.
   • Set BOOT2=1 by strapping J19-pin1 to +5V (ie. connect it to J1-pin2 on the 40pin header)
   • Set BOOT1=0 by strapping SW1.1 = ON
   • Set BOOT0=1 by removing SD card from MicroSD slot

6. On RZBoard’s J19 Debug UART 4-pin header, connect the fly-leads from the USB-Serial cable connected to the development computer.

7. Run flash_bootloader.bat (to launch Tera Term macro using the edited config.ini settings) Choose the media (eMMC or QSPI Flash) to program, the macro then waits for system power up.

8. Press and hold S1 for 2 seconds to power-on RZBoard, the macro will now proceed. Wait for this to complete (<5 min)

3. Edit the config.ini file (update the COM port#, the IP address and name of the System image file)

4. Power-off RZBoard

5. Place RZBoard into “eMMC (1V8) boot-mode” by setting BOOT[2:0] to b001 (as tabled above), ie.
   • Set BOOT2=0 by removing fly-wire from J19-pin1 to J1-pin2 (40pin header)
   • Set BOOT1=0 by strapping SW1.1 = ON
   • Set BOOT0=1 by removing SD card from MicroSD slot

6. Run flash_system_image.bat (launches Tera Term macro using saved config.ini settings)

7. Power-on RZBoard. Ethernet connetion will be established and a blue window shall open in <30 sec.

8. Wait for the macro to complete (typically 15 blocks of data get sent and this completes in <5 min). No input or operation is required during this period. After finishing, press any key to exit the BAT script.

9. Now set RzBoard to boot from QSPI or eMMC as needed and power-cycle the board using switch S1.

2.2 Booting RZBoard
RzBoard supports Linux boot from eMMC or SD card.
Before attempting to boot Linux system image from eMMC make sure the SDCard is not in the slot.
Two different methods of booting RZBoard are described in this section:
a) Booting u-boot and the Linux System image from eMMC
b) Booting u-boot from QSPI flash, booting Linux system image from SD card
For development, booting u-boot from QSPI flash, then using NFS (network file system) located on the development PC (via network Ethernet connection) will be detailed in a later version of this document.
2.2.1 Boot from eMMC
The least complex method, where u-boot and the Linux system image are booted from eMMC memory. After writing bootloader and linux system images into eMMC, boot RzBoard from eMMC as follows:

• Connect Boot2 (Pin1 of J19) to GND, Dial out SD card, Set SW1 as shown below:

• Connect suitable 5V power source to RZBoard via the J10 USB type-C connector.

•  Press and hold Power button S1 for 2 seconds to power-on the system.

• When the system boots-up, the serial terminal will print the following information:
  Welcome to rubboard Board GNU/Linux yoctohm (dunfell) system. rubboard login:

• Enter username as “root”, password as “Avnet” to login.

• The Linux system interface also supports directly attached keyboard and mouse

2.2.2 Boot using QSPI flash and SD Card
Booting u-boot from QSPI flash is typically when the Linux System image is on SD card or when NFS (network file system) is used. To boot RzBoard from QSPI flash, the two bootloader images (bl2_bp-rzboard.srec and fip-rzboard.srec) need to have been written into it, using the scripted Flash
Writer procedure (as described earlier in this chapter)
2.2.3 How to Program Linux System Image into SDCard
Under Windows OS, Win32 Disk Imager tool is used to write Linux system image into the SDcard.

1. Insert the SD card into the card reader, then connect the card reader to the USB port on the PC.
2. Open Win32 Disk Imager on the PC, Select the Disk Image, then click “Write”.
   • Wait for completion of the write operation…

2.2.4 Boot up from QSPI

• Connect Boot2 of J19 to GND, Insert the SDcard, Set SW1 as shown below:

• Power on the board with a 5V, 2A, Type-C interface power (to J10).

• Press Power button S1 for 2 seconds and system will power on.

• When the system boot up, the serial terminal will print the following information:
  Poky (Yoctohm Project Reference Distro) 3.1.14 rubboard ttySC0 rubboard login:

• Enter username as “root”, password as “Avnet” to login.

• Users can also use keyboard and mouse connected to Rubboard to login to Linux.

Chapter 3 Feature Configuration & Introduction

In this chapter, we mainly introduce the features of RzBoard. First of all, please refer to RzBoard-Start-up-Guide-V..pdf and boot up the system refer to the previous chapter. Configure or use the functions according to the following guidance.
3.1 Settings in uEnv.txt
User could configure some environment variables in uEnv.txt, which can be loaded in the U-boot stage. The uEnv.txt file has a very simple file format. The format is a single property=value statement on each line, where value is either an integer or a string. Comments may be added, or existing config values may be commented out and disabled, by starting a line with the # character.
The device-tree overlay function is supported from this version and the device-tree overlay file (.dtbo) is placed in the overlay/ directory in the FAT partition of the SDIO card or eMMC. To load the device-tree overlay file (.dtbo), you need to set “fdt_extra_overlays” and “enableoverlay” prefix variable in uEnv.txt. You can also add other configurations defined in u-boot to the uEnv.txt file. The specific description is as follows: Note: futile must be set to a device tree binary blob, which is the basis for applying dtbo file. fdtfile should be set, other configurations are optional.
Here is the default setting in uEnv.txt:
futile=rzboard.dtb enable_overlay_disp=hdmi

fdt_extra_overlays=1.dtbo 2.dtbo 3.dtbo

ethaddr=aa:bb:cc:aa:bb:cc

Modify uEnv.txt methods:
We can find uEnv.txt in /boot, then use Nano or vi command to edit the uEnv.txt.
root@rzboard:~# cd /boot
root@rzboard:/boot# ls
Image cm33 overlays readme.txt rzboard.dtb uEnv.txt root@rzboard:/boot# vi uEnv.txt
We can edit the uEnv.txt as needed and save it.

Refer to readme.txt for more information on setting up U-Boot

Envfdtfile=rzboard.dtb enable_overlay_disp=hdmi

fdt_extra_overlays=1.dtbo 2.dtbo 3.dtbo

ethaddr=aa:bb:cc:aa:bb:cc

After the modification, execute sync and reboot command to make it effect.
3.2 User LED (RGB)
RzBoard has a tri-color RGB LED indicator available for user-defined functions.
It flashes blue to indicate heartbeat by default, but this LED can be controlled using follow commands:
LED output blue:
root@rzboard:~# echo default-on > /sys/class/leds/led_blue/trigger
root@rzboard:~# echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/led_blue/brightness
root@rzboard:~# echo heartbeat > /sys/class/leds/led_blue/trigger
LED output red:
root@rzboard:~# echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/led_blue/brightness
root@rzboard:~# echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/led_red/brightness
root@rzboard:~# echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/led_red/brightness
LED output green:
root@rzboard:~# echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/led_blue/brightness
root@rzboard:~# echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/led_green/brightness
root@rzboard:~# echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/led_green/brightness
3.3 Button Switches
There are two push-button switches on RzBoard, S1 is the power button and S2 is the user button. We can use following procedure to test these button switches.
Test PWR button S1
When system is on, press PWR button S1 for 3 seconds, the system will shut down. Press the PWR button S1 again for 3 seconds and the system will reboot.
Test USER button S2

RzBoard can support a USB camera or MIPI-CSI camera. This section describes how to preview, capture photos and record video from the command line.
To use the MIPI-CSI camera, the enable_overlay_camera value should be set:
enable_overlay_camera=ov5640
Note: To enable the camera preview on the desktop, it is recommended that the “enable_overlay_mipi” option should be set in uEnv.txt.
3.7.1 Enable the CSI-2 Module
According to the usage reference document
(https://renesas.info/wiki/RZ-G/RZ-G2L_SMARC#Using_the_Coral_MIPI_Camera) of Renesas’ MIPI camera, we know that prior to using the camera, the media-ctl command provided in the v4l-utils package must be used to configure the MIPI CSI-2 module, otherwise the OV5640 will not work.
Next we use the following command to enable the CSI-2 module.
root@rzboard:~# ls /dev/media*
/dev/media0
root@rzboard:~# media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -r
root@rzboard:~# media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -l “‘rzg2l_csi2 10830400.csi2’:1 -> ‘CRU output’:0 [1]”
3.7.2 Select OV5640 Camera and Set its Resolution
Use the following instruction to select OV5640 Camera and set its resolution.
root@rzboard:~# media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -V “‘rzg2l_csi2 10830400.csi2’:1 [fmt:UYVY8_2X8/1920×1080 field:none]”
root@rzboard:~# media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -V “‘ov5640 0-003c’:0 [fmt:UYVY8_2X8/1920×1080 field:none]”
3.7.3 Take Photo
Use the following instruction to take a photo and saved to specific location.
root@rzboard:~# yavta -c1 –F[filename] -s [resolution] or
In above command, replace to the camera device ID, [filename] to the path and name of saved file, [resolution] to the resolution.
For example:
root@rzboard:~# yavta -c1 -Fyavta_video_1920x1080_1.yuv -s 1920×1080 /dev/video0
or
root@rzboard:~# gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 num-buffers=1 !
‘video/x-raw,format=UYVY,width=1920,height=1080’ ! jpegenc ! filesink
location=ov5640_capture.jpg
Use the follow following command to view this photo directly:
root@rzboard:~# gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! videoconvert ! waylandsink
Or copy the photo to other device, such as computer to display it.
3.7.4 Record Video
Use the following instruction to record a video and saved to specific location.
root@rzboard:~# gst-launch-1.0 -e v4l2src device=/dev/video0 num-buffers=300 !
video/x-raw,format=YUY2,framerate=30/1,width=640,height=480 ! videoconvert ! x264enc !
video/x-h264, profile=baseline ! mp4mux ! filesink location=output.mp4
In above command, modify the camera device ID, the width and height of the video, the path and name of saved file, etc. The video file can be copy to other device, such as computer to display, or use gst-play-1.0 to display it on the screen directly.
root@rzboard:~# gst-play-1.0 output.mp4
3.8 Gigabit Ethernet Interface
Connect the network cable to J7, enter the following instructions to set the IP address: The below IP address are example, replace it with your real network environment
3.8.1 Network Test
After connecting the network cable, it will automatically obtain the IP by default. You can use the ipconfig command to view the IP information and use the following command to perform the network test:
root@rzboard:~# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 22:31:56:BB:B0:08
inet addr:192.168.1.99 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

3.8.2 Set Static IP
If you need to set a static IP, execute the following 2 steps:

1. Set the static MAC for the Board: modify the ethaddr value in uEnv.txt.
   Use nano or vi command to modify the uEnv.txt.
   root@rzboard:/run/media/mmcblk0p1# vi /boot/uEnv.txt
   After the modification, execute sync and reboot command to make it effect.
   Then check the configuration of eth0
   root@rzboard:/run/media/mmcblk0p1# ifconfig eth0
   eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FE
   inet addr:192.168.1.99 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
   UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

3.11.3 Wi-Fi Hotspot
Use the following steps to configure and start the 2.4 GHz Access Point from the wireless module.
Make sure the Wi-Fi is disconnected:
root@rzboard:~# killall wpa_supplicant
root@rzboard:~# killall hostapd
then use the following steps to set up Wi-Fi hotspot.
Edit the configuration file for hostapd:
root@rzboard:~# vi /etc/hostapd-2.4g.conf
Parameter values in the configuration file:
interface=uap0

specify the band: hw_mode=g (2.4 GHz) and hw_mode=a (5 GHz)

hw_mode=g
channel=1
country_code=US
ssid=MY_HOSTAP
ieee80211n=1
If you want to configure WPA2 for the AP using open source supplicant, need to add the following additional lines:
wpa=2
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
wpa_passphrase=123456789
Note: You can modify your ssid and wpa_passphrase in hostapd-2.4g.conf fi Create the configuration file for udhcp server:
root@rzboard:~# vi /etc/udhcpd.conf
Add the following content to udhcpd.conf file:
interface uap0
start 192.168.5.10
end 192.168.5.100
opt router 192.168.5.1
opt dns 114.114.114.114 8.8.8.8
Note: The IP address 192.168.5.x can be modified at will but it must be consistent with its related IP.
Command to start the 2.4g GHz Access Point and start udhcp server to assign the IP address:
root@rzboard:~# ifconfig uap0 192.168.5.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
root@rzboard:~# udhcpd /etc/udhcpd.conf
root@rzboard:~# hostapd -B /etc/hostapd-2.4g.conf
At this time, you can use other devices to scan the access point “MY_HOSTAP”, and enter the password
“123456789” to connect. After obtaining the IP address, the device will display a status of “Connected, no Internet”.
If the Ethernet interface is connected to the Internet, you can use the following command to add packet
forwarding rules so that the devices connected to the hotspot can access the Internet.
root@rzboard:~# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
root@rzboard:~# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
root@rzboard:~# iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o uap0 -m state \
–state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
root@rzboard:~# iptables -A FORWARD -i uap0 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
3.12 Bluetooth 5.0
The firmware binary file supports both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth over an SDIO interface, so user should enable Wi-Fi first (refer to Chapter 3.11.1).
Before using Bluetooth, we need to use the hciattach command to establish a data connection channel between the serial port and the Bluetooth protocol layer. This command is mainly used to initialize the Bluetooth device.:
root@rzboard:~# hciattach /dev/ttySC1 any 115200

3.13 UARTS
RzBoard supports two UART interfaces.

3.13.1 UART 2
In the Yocto system, the node for UART2 is /dev/ttySC2. Users could also write their own applications to control the uart.
Use enable_overlay_uart2 in uEnv.txt to allow UART2 to be selected:
enable_overlay_uart2=1
3.14 Pi HAT 40 Pin Expansion Interface
This chapter will provide the control methods of 40 Pin interface, include GPIO, I2C and SPI.
To use these peripheral interfaces on the 40-pins interface, enable the following options in uEnv.txt :
enable_overlay_gpio=1
enable_overlay_i2c=1
enable_overlay_spi=1
3.14.1 GPIO
System use /sys/class/gpio to control the GPIO pin, refer to the following table:
Table: GPIO# to Connector PIN# relationship

pinum = $group * $groupin + $pin + $pinbase（where pinbase=120, groupin=8）
Here we use PIN35 as an example:
In above table, the GPIO Number of connector PIN35 is calculated to be 193 GPIO9_IO1 means group=9, pin=1 for calculation of: (9 x 8) + 1 + 120 = 193

1.  Set the function of Pin35 to be GPIO output.
   root@rzboard:/sys/class# echo 193 >/sys/class/gpio/export
   root@rzboard:/sys/class/gpio# echo out >/sys/class/gpio/gpio193/direction
   Set the level of Pin35, 0 means low, 1 means high.
   root@rzboard:/sys/class/gpio# echo 1 >/sys/class/gpio/gpio193/value
   Measure the voltage of pin35, the result is 3.3V.
   root@rzboard:/sys/class/gpio# echo 0 >/sys/class/gpio/gpio193/value
   Measure the voltage of pin35, the result is 0V.

3.14.3 CAN
When using CAN bus, the following should be noted regarding the onboard CAN interfaces:
The CAN interface on J18 has a transceiver, and can be directly connected with other CAN interfaces;
The CAN interface on J1 has no transceiver, it requires an external transceiver.
Shown below is an example test setup using both CAN interfaces on two RZBoards:CANbus interfaces on RzBoard can work in 2.0 mode
Use enable_overlay_can in uEnv.txt to enable the CAN interface after RzBoard startup.
CAN 2.0 Test Commands and Results:
RzBoardA:
root@rzboard:~# ip link set can0 down
root@rzboard:~# ip link set can0 type can bitrate 500000
[ 1382.533140] rcar_canfd 10050000.can can0: bitrate error 0.2%
root@rzboard:~# ip link set can0 up
root@rzboard:~# candump can0
can0 123 [7] 01 02 03 04 05 06 07
RzBoardB:
root@rzboard:~# ip link set can0 down
root@rzboard:~# ip link set can0 type can bitrate 500000
[ 1382.533140] rcar_canfd 10050000.can can0: bitrate error 0.2%
root@rzboard:~# ip link set can0 up
root@rzboard:~# cansend can0 123#01020304050607
Note: Testing of CAN interfaces on RzBoard confirmed reliable operation for bitrates up to 3.5 Mbps.
3.15 DRP-AI
RZ/V2L is equipped with a Cortex-A55 CPU and built-in “DRP-AI” AI accelerator core, for easy implementation of real-time AI inference and image processing functions on RzBoard.
Go to the RZV2L_AI_Eva_SW directory and execute the following commands to test the DRP-AI:
root@rzboard:~# cd RZV2L_AI_Eva_SW/
root@rzboard:~/RZV2L_AI_Eva_SW# ./start_app.sh I

With a USB camera connected to the board, you can test object recognition using DRP-AI
Run the following commands:
root@rzboard:~# cd app_demos/
root@rzboard:~/app_demos# ./demo.sh

• Avnet RZBoard V2L – DRP-AI demos (using camera video)

• a) Detection + Pose Estimation, skeletal 17-point overlay of person in box (HRNet) *

• b) Detection + Pose Estimation, skeletal overlays of 1-7 people (HRNet,TinyYOLOv2) *

• c) Object Classification, does not use bounding-box (ResNet50) *

• d) Object Classification, displays labeled boxes (Tiny YOLOv2)

  Then enter the applicable letter (a b c d) to select the DRP-AI demo that you want to run.
  The processed camera image (with meta data and overlays) will be visible on the HDMI screen
  3.16 Cortex-M33
  On RzBoard, the User can enable the M33 core by editing uEnv.txt as follows:
  root@rzboard:~# vi /boot/uEnv.txt
  enable_overlay_cm33=1

  enable_overlay_uart2=1

  After M33 is enabled, when u-boot bootsup, it will use fatload to load and run the Cortex-M33 firmware program. uart2 will be used as the Cortex-M33 core’s debug serial port. We can test the rpmsg communication between Cortex-A55 and Cortex-M33, and output the test results from uart2.

  3.17 Procedure to Increase eMMC Partition Size
  As configured during manufacture, only a section of the 32GB eMMC is accessible.
  Use the following steps to expand the rootfs partition in eMMC flash memory:

  • Open a serial port connection to RZBoard’s debug connector

  • Boot Linux and login to the board with user: root and password: avnet

  • Execute the command fdisk /dev/mmcblk0

  • Make note of the mmcblk0p2 start address displayed on the screen

  • Execute the following sequence of commands:
    p -> d -> 2 -> n -> p -> 2 -> -> enter (to accept default) -> N -> w

  • Now resize the partition using the entered settings: resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2
