RZ/N2H Evaluation Board Kit
Overview
The Evaluation Board Kit for RZ/N2H is an evaluation and development kit for the RZ/N2H MPU. Since it has an on-board emulator, you can start evaluation by simply connecting the bundled cable with your PC. This board includes rich functional ICs such as Gigabit Ethernet PHY, non-volatile memory and LPDDR4 memory, and you can evaluate various functions of RZ/N2H without an extension board.
In addition, by expanding the inverter board, it is also possible to realize multi-axis motor control.
On-board RZ/N2H MPU 576-pin (R9A09G087M44GBG)
Rich functional ICs such as Gigabit Ethernet PHY, non-volatile memory (QSPI flash, Octa flash, eMMC) and DDR are mounted, functions of target MPU can be fully evaluated
Micro SD card slot, SD card slot and PCIe connector
Generic interface such as Pmod/Grove/QWIIC/mikroBUS
The pin header enables users to freely combine with the user’s hardware system and evaluate RZ/N2H
Emulator circuit is mounted, can start program debugging by simply connecting USB cables: three USB cables are bundled for power supply (Type C, 15V), on-board emulator connection (Micro B) and terminal debugging (Mini B).
Please prepare USB PD power supply (45W = 15V-3A or more) by yourself.
Renesas IDE e² studio and FSP for RZ/N2 are available

Connections and IOs
By default, the board is configured for use with:
UART0 connected to the USB serial port (CN27),
LEDs defined as
led8,led9,led10andled11,
The Zephyr console uses UART0.
Programming and Debugging
The rzn2h_evb board supports the runners and associated west commands listed below.
| flash | debug | debugserver | reset | attach | rtt | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| jlink | ✅ (default) | ✅ (default) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
Applications for the rzn2h_evb board can be
built, flashed, and debugged in the usual way. See Building an Application
and Run an Application for more details on building and running.
To use J-Link OB,
Open the jumper pin (JP40) for switching the debug connection.
Connect the micro-USB type-B to J-Link OB USB connector (CN26), and then the LED12 is lighted.
Console
The UART port is accessed by USB-Serial port (CN27).
Debugging
Here is an example for building and debugging with the Hello World application.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b rzn2h_evb/r9a09g087m44gbg/cr52_0 samples/hello_world
west debug
Flashing
Before using flash command, the board must be set to xSPI boot mode.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b rzn2h_evb/r9a09g087m44gbg/cr52_0 samples/hello_world
west flash
