ΣyG-S7G2 Modular Development Kit (MDK) Overview

Introduction

The Future Designs, Inc. ΣyGTM Family provides a complete and qualified Graphical User Interface (GUI) / Human Machine Interface (HMI) platform for the rapid release of customer products. The core of ΣyG (pronounced, “sig”) is Renesas SynergyTM – a comprehensive and integrated software-based microcontroller platform. FDI adds the Synergy platform to its GUI hardware, systems and production expertise. The end result is a sum of high-quality products that provide a robust and proven source for GUI and HMI solutions:

ΣyG = Renesas Synergy+ GUI

The ΣyG-S7G2 Modular Development Kit for the System on Module is the gateway for beginning Renesas SynergyTM projects. The ΣyG-S7G2 Modular Development Kit is compatible with FDI’s ΣyG Modular Development LCD Kits but can be used independently as a lowercost option for those embedded applications without the need for a touch screen display. FDI offers low cost customization services for customer-specific hardware, software or packaging applications at volumes of 500 units or more.

ESD Warning
The ΣYG-S7G2-MDK is shipped in a protective anti-static package. Do not subject the module to high electrostatic potentials. Exposure to high electrostatic potentials may cause damage to the boards that will not be covered under warranty. General practice for working with static sensitive devices should be followed when working with the kit.

Requirements

The ΣYG-S7G2-MDK requires a carrier board with a 200-pin SO-DIMM socket. The socket should have the key at the 1.8V location. The CARRIER Board from Future Designs provides this socket and should be utilized to develop your application for initial verification. Each

Development kit includes:

•  ΣyG-S7G2 System on Module (SOM)
• Renesas Synergy Software Platform
• Carrier Board
• 5 VDC, 2.3A North American Power Supply
• USB and Ethernet Cables
• Segger ARM Cortex-M Mini-JTAG debugger and cables
• Optional LCD Carrier Board
• Optional 4.3” or 7.0″ PCAP Touch Screen LCD

ΣyG-S7G2 SOM Power Requirements
The power requirement for the ΣYG-S7G2-MDK is 5V DC Center Positive 2A Power Supply.

Getting Started

Setting up the Hardware
The SOMDIMM should be inserted into the DIMM Socket as shown below and then locked into place by pushing down to the Carrier Board. Ensure the SOMDIMM is inserted completely into the socket prior to locking. The socket utilized on the CARRIER Board is rated for a minimum of 25 insertions.

The following are step by step instructions for setting up the hardware.

1.  Make sure you have a SOMDIMM board plugged into the CARRIER board at J1.
2. Verify the LCD Interface ribbon cable connects the LCD CARRIER board to the CARRIER (J7) board.
3. With the power off, plug the 5V center-positive Power Supply into 5V (P5) of the CARRIER board.
4.  Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the ETHERNET (J5) interface of the CARRIER board.
5. Plug in a female-to-female DB9 serial cable between PC and RS232 (P4) on the CARRIER board.
6. Insert a USB drive.

Demonstration Software

Insert a formatted USB drive into the ΣYG-S7G2-MDK boards and connect them to your PC using an Ethernet cable. In your PC, set a static IP address on the PC to be on the same network
(IP=192.168.0.x with Subnet mask=255.255.255.0). Once connected, the ΣYG- S7G2-MDK demonstration software will deliver you to a web page at the address https://192.168.0.180. Thread counts will automatically update or you can click on “System Variables” to force an immediate update. Use the 7 ThreadX tasks outlined on the web page to update the system variables.

ΣyG-S7G2 SOM System on Module Board Components

ARM Mini-JTAG J2
The ΣyG-S7G2 SOM uses a JTAG connector based on a 2mm header. This smaller connector provides 100% of the functionality of the standard 20-pin JTAG connector, but utilizes 70% less board space.

Tag-Connect J7

• Use the Tag Connect 10-pin cable to program and JTAG the ΣyG-S7G2 SOM using a Segger J-Link device.
• Cable: https://www.tag-connect.com/tc2050-arm2010
• Cable: https://www.tag-connect.com/TC2050-IDC-NL

MicroSD Socket J1
The ΣyG-S7G2 SOM utilizes a microSD for flexible mass storage. MicroSD flash cards are common, cost effective, and provides a large amount of user- changeable memory.

The microSD card must be removed using the spring loaded “push-pull” mechanism on the microSD socket. Forceful removal of a microSD card will result in permanent damage to the socket that is not covered under warranty. To insert the card, push it into the socket until a
“click” sound is heard. Similarly, to remove the card, push the card into the socket. The push-pull mechanism will “click” again and eject the card from the socket. The card is now available for safe removal.

Ethernet PHY U5
The ΣyG-S7G2 SOM provides an Ethernet PHY from SMSC, LAN8720. The LAN8720 is a single chip solution for a 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T physical layer transceiver. It has support for reduced MII (RMII), and HP MDI-X auto crossover allowing for any standard Ethernet cable to be used, even a crossover cable. The LAN8720 is fully compliant to IEEE 802.3u with support for auto-negotiation and manual selection of 10/100Mbps speed as well as full and half-duplex modes.

Carrier Board Components

DC Power Input
The Touch Screen Kit utilizes a 5VDC 2.3A Power Supply. The connector is 2.1mm with center positive.

Alternate Power Input
The CARRIER Board includes an optional alternate power input connector, J8. This connector provides an optional input connection for the on-board DC-DC regulator.

USB Power Device
The CARRIER Board includes one USB Device Interface allowing the unit to be connected to a USB Host, such as a PC. Through this connection, the CARRIER represents a peripheral to the USB Host. The operational mode of the port is dependent on the software utilized (i.e. Mass Storage or Human-Interface).
The CARRIER Board may also be powered via the USB Device connector. Care must be taken to not overload the USB Host since 500mA is the maximum current allowable via USB. The LCD Backlight may be disabled or the brightness dimmed to facilitate this USB Powered mode. When D1 is on it indicates a “good link” on the USB Device port. When D2 is on it indicates that the USB Device port is enabled. D2 will also blink during re-enumeration.

| Pin Number| Description
---|---|---
1| USB 5V
2| D-

USB Power Host
The CARRIER Board includes one USB Host Port allowing the unit to interface to various USB peripherals such as a USB Flash Drive (Thumb Drive). The operational mode of this port is dependent on the software utilized (i.e. driver support)
Please refer to the specific details of the processor module being utilized for support of the USB Host function.
D3 indicates VBUS power is good for the USB Host port.

Ethernet
The CARRIER Board includes one 10/100 Ethernet Port to interface to a local area network via CAT5 cable.
Please refer to the specific details of the processor module being utilized for support of the Ethernet Port function.

| Pin Number| Description
---|---|---
1| Tx+

CAN/RS485
The CARRIER Board includes one Male DB9 Interface Connector that supports either CAN or RS485 (Rev 2 and later) depending on the configuration of jumpers JP4 – JP7. The CAN interface utilizes an NXP TJA1040TD high speed transceiver IC to provide fully ISO 11898 standard interface at up to 1MBaud. The TJA1040 allows up to 110 nodes and very low electromagnetic emissions.
Note: Rev 1 PCB only supports CAN on P3
Please refer to the specific details of the processor module being utilized for support of the CAN interface function. RS232
The CARRIER Board includes one RS232 Serial Port Connector. This connector is a Male DB9 configured as either DCE or DTE (Rev 2 and later only) depending on the configuration of jumper block JP3. The interface includes optional RTS & CTS handshaking signals that are brought to test points that the user may connect as needed (see page 5 of the schematic). Please verify proper connectivity of this connector to the proper TXD<>RXD orientation. TXD is an OUTPUT from the CARRIER Board and RXD is an INPUT to the CARRIER Board.
Note: Rev 1 PCB only supports DCE on P4
Please refer to the specific details of the processor module being utilized for support of the RS232 Serial Port function.

External I2C
The CARRIER board provides an external I2C connector for users to connect to the I2C bus of the microprocessor.

CARRIER Rev 1

CARRIER Rev 2 and later

Please refer to the specific details of the processor module for connectivity details.

External I2S Audio
The Rev 1 CARRIER board provides an external I2S Audio Expansion Connector. Please refer to the specific details of the processor module for connectivity details.
