RZ/T2H Evaluation Board Kit

Overview

The Evaluation Board Kit for RZ/T2H is an evaluation and development kit for the RZ/T2H 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/T2H without an extension board.

In addition, by expanding the inverter board, it is also possible to realize multi-axis motor control.

  • On-board RZ/T2H MPU 729-pin (R9A09G077M44GBG)

  • 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/T2H

  • 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/T2 are available

Connections and IOs

By default, the board is configured for use with:

  • UART0 connected to the USB serial port (CN34),

  • LEDs defined as led0, led1, led2 and led3,

The Zephyr console uses UART0.

Programming and Debugging

The rzt2h_evb board supports the runners and associated west commands listed below.

flash debug debugserver attach reset rtt
jlink ✅ (default) ✅ (default)

Applications for the rzt2h_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,

  1. Open the jumper pin (CN62) for switching the debug connection.

  2. Connect the micro-USB type-B to J-Link OB USB connector (CN14), and then the LED10 is lighted.

Console

The UART port is accessed by USB-Serial port (CN34).

Debugging

Here is an example for building and debugging with the Hello World application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b rzt2h_evb/r9a09g077m44gbg/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 rzt2h_evb/r9a09g077m44gbg/cr520 samples/hello_world
west flash
