Overview
This kit and the associated development tools allow you to evaluate the Renesas Synergy
TM
S7G2 IoT Enabler platform. This Quick Start Guide shows you how to run the pre-loaded
SmartWine demonstration software. These instructions are condensed. For full instructions for
Lab 1 and how to run the additional lab procedures included with the SK-S7G2 IoT Enabler Kit,
please see the IoT_Enabler_Kit_Labs sub-directory on the included USB drive. The Lab 1
document is called SmartWine.pdf. Lab 2 is called RemoteSongPlayer.pdf and lab 3 (in three
parts) is called FunWithSensors.pdf.
SK-S7G2Kit
NOTE: This Quick Start Guide is for the S7G2 IoT Enabler Kit, which is based on theSK-S7G2
rev3.0 board.
Prerequisites
Required infrastructure
•
PC with one free USB 2.0/3.0 port. No drivers are required for Lab 1.
•
802.11b/g/n Wireless Access Point (WAP) with Internet connection.
Wireless Access Point (WAP) Settings
The GT202 WiFi PMOD board requires the SSID, security setting and shared passphrase from
the external wireless access point (WAP) in order to send its data to the dashboard. This
information is located in a file named wifi.txt. This file is read from the root directory of the
USB thumb drive when the SmartWine software is started. The WAP must provide DHCP
service to the GT202 WiFi board and be connected to the Internet. Below is the content of the
default wifi.txt file on the USB drive.
mode=client
encryption=ccmp
security=wpa2
ssid=TP-LINK_4C50B6
key=pennygetyourownwifi

Make sure that the first three lines appear exactly as shown. Set the ssid value on the fourth
line to the SSID of the Access Point that you are using (or set the WAP to this SSID). Set the key
to the passphrase that your WAP is expecting (or set the passphrase in the WAP to match what
is in the file). The WAP should be set to 802.11g mode, use wpa2 wireless security, have a
DHCP server running on the WiFi side and have access to the Internet on the WAN side.
NOTE: The software looks for wifi.txt by name in the root directory of the USB drive. Do not
change the name of the wifi.txt file or move it from the root directory of the USB drive.
Connecting the board components
Connect the components as shown below to run the Lab 1 SmartWine demonstration.
Running the Out-of-Box Demo
To power up the board and get started with the pre-loaded Out-
of-Box SmartWine Demo, connect the SK-S7G2 board J19
(DEBUG_USB) micro USB connector to a USB port on your PC using
the supplied cable. Green LED4 lights, indicating power. Wave your
hand over the AMS PMOD sensor board and you will see a
proximity alert pop up on the LCD screen. Touch the AMS button
on the LCD touch-screen to view the temperature and humidity
readings from the sensors on the AMS PMOD board.
Make sure that your LCD is showing an SSID and IP address and
green LED1 is lit. This indicates that you have a WiFi connection to
the AP and received a DHCP address. Go to the ThingSpace
Dashboard located at freeboard.thingspace.io/board/0ZwMxr and enter your ThingName
(shown on the LCD screen in the format SKS7-xxxx, where xxxx is a unique hex number) in the
box at the upper left. The Dashboard should now be updating with data from your sensors. Try
waving your hand over the AMS PMOD sensor board to see what happens on your Dashboard.

CAT1 Modem Provisioning
The CAT1 Modem PMOD board requires provisioning before it will transmit and receive data. A
Verizon data account is required. A 30-day, 1GB account is included with your SK-S7G2 IoT
Enabler Kit. The CAT1 modem is not used for Lab 1, but provisioning information is included
here (as well as in the instructions for Lab 2). If you are attending a class, the provisioning will
be done for you in advance and your Verizon data account will be active at class time. If you are
not attending a formal class, send an activation request email to iotdeveloper@verizon.com
containing the following information:
Name
Company
Title
e-mail address
20-digit SIM Card ID
15-digit modem IMEI
Reloading the Out-of-Box Demo
If you want to reload the original Out-of-Box SmartWine application, you can find it and the
instructions to reload it on the USB drive in the file IoT_Enabler_Kit_Labs/SmartWine.pdf.
