INTRODUCTION

About this Guide
This document is intended as the guide for unpacking iWave’s iW-RainboW-G22D RZ/G1E Development Platform package and setting up the test environment for it. It also gives details about safety information and important cautions which should adhere while using the platform.

Development Platform Overview
The iW-RainboW-G22D RZ/G1E Development Platform incorporates RZ/G1E SODIMM SOM which is based on Renesas power effecient RZ/G1E Dual ARM Cortex A7 MPU and SODIMM Compatible Carrier Board. This platform can be used for quick prototyping of any high end applications in verticals like Automotive, Industrial & Medical. The board is highly packed with all necessary on-board connectors to validate almost complete RZ/G1E CPU features.

UNPACKING

Safety Information

•  Before unpacking and installing the Development Platform or adding devices on it, carefully read all the manuals that came with the package.

•  Place the product on a stable surface. To avoid short circuits in electronics, keep all conducting material away from the Development Platform.

•  Avoid using board in extreme dust, humidity and temperature conditions. Do not place the Development Platform in wet area.

•  Before using the Development Platform, make sure that all cables are correctly connected and the power adapter is correctly selected.

•  Make sure that Electrical Outlet where you connected the power adapter is not damaged and working fine.

•  If the power adapter is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. To prevent electrical shock hazard,
  disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet before displacing the system.

•  Don’t try to remove the RZ/G1E SOM module from the Development platform unless really required.

•  Before connecting or removing RZ/G1E SOM module from the Development platform, ensure that  power cable is unplugged and ESD antistatic guidelines are followed.

Quick Start Guide

Unpacking Guidelines
Please follow the below guidelines while unpacking the iW-RainboW-G22D Development platform.

• Wear the anti-static wristband while unpacking and handling the Development platform to prevent electrostatic discharge.

• Use anti-static pad/mat with proper grounding to place the Development platform.

• Don’t touch the inside surface of the Development platform circuit board.

• Self-grounding: Touch a grounded conductor every few minutes to discharge any excess  static build-up.
  

• Make sure that packing box is facing upwards while opening.

• Make sure that the entire packing list items mentioned in Package Checklist are present.

Use ESD Protection

Static electricity can destroy electronics in the platform. Make sure to follow the ESD precautions to prevent damage to the platform and injury to the user.
