Connecting the board components

To power the boards and connect the boards to the PC, follow these steps:

Set the JTAG DIP switch 7 on S5 to ON (toward the LEDs).

Using the power supply provided with the DK-S3A7 kit, apply power through the 5V barrel connector (J1) on

the Main Board. LED13 will turn on Green with a flashing Red beside it. The solid-Green/flashing-Red

LED13 informs the user that the Kit cannot communicate with the PC on the debug port.

Connect the USB cable provided with the DK-S3A7 to the J-Link OB (J15) on the Main Board.

Connect the other end of the USB cable to a USB port of the PC. Now LED13 will turn show Green (no flashing-

Red), indicating a good connection.

Out-of-Box Demo

1) The Out-of-Box Demo starts by flashing the Configuration (Light Scale) and USER LEDs for about 6 seconds. It then

turns on and off all segments of the segment LCD. This is actually a configuration test that is verifying performance of

the hardware. If a problem is found then USER LED 1 and 2 will be Red. If no problems exist then USER LED 3 and

4 are Green.

2) After about 12 seconds the S3 MCU starts sensing the amount of light at the Ambient Light Sensor, U105, using the

S3 MCU’s high-precision 14-bit A/D converter. The demo takes the top 8 bits of the A/D reading and uses it to display

a Light Scale on the Configuration LEDs and as a battery level and digital count on the segment LCD. Finally, the

elapsed time of the demo is shown on the segment LCD.

3) Move a light source closer and farther from the Ambient Light Sensor and observe the LEDs and LCD values.

4) When the light sensors output reaches or exceeds its maximum value, the MCU flashes the LCD segments on and off

quickly.

Running Blinky

The Blinky Project is included in the SSP. Before running the project, ensure that the J-Link On-Board is connected to

the PC (see the above Steps 1-4 in Connecting the Components)

To run the Blinky Project, you must first create a Renesas Synergy Project in the e2 studio ISDE. You can then debug

and run the project on the DK-S3A7.

Creating the Blinky Project

To create a project:

Start the e2 studio ISDE. Click <e2 Studio> under Windows Start Menu -> Renesas Electronics e2studio -> e2 studio

NOTES:

a) The e2 studio ISDE confirms the installed tool chain(s) the first time it is started after installing the toolchains.

b) The e2 studio ISDE displays the Welcome to e2 studio screen. Click the [X] and it will not be displayed again.

c) If you do not

have a compatible tool chain installed, see section Prerequisites.

If the Workspace Launcher Dialog box is displayed, click <OK>.

NOTE: Until you select “Use this as the default (workspace) and do not ask again”, the Workspace Launch window

will be displayed when e2 studio is started.

Start a new Synergy Project by clicking on File > New > Synergy Project.

The ISDE displays the Project Configuration (Synergy Project) dialog box.

Enter “Blinky_DK_S3A7” as the Project name.

The first time you configure a project you need to load a license file. Click on the browse icon of the License

File and if needed browse to C:\Renesas\e2_studio\internal\projectgen\arm\Licenses\ (if you installed to the

default locations).

NOTE: After you have loaded the license file it will be loaded and displayed in License window by default.

Click Next.

The ISDE displays the Project Configuration (Synergy Project) window with the Device Selection options.

Select S3A7 DK and leave all other options in this window at their default settings.

Click <Next>.

The ISDE displays the Project Configuration (Synergy Project) window with the Project Template Selection options.

10)

Select S3A7-DK Blinky

11)

Click <Finish>.

NOTE:

The e2 studio ISDE has built in Perspectives. Until you inform the tool to remember your selection, it

will ask if it can use the Synergy Configuration Perspective as shown below.

12)

If the Open Associated Perspective dialog box appears click <Yes>.

13)

The ISDE automatically configures the SSP to load and generate the necessary

configuration files for the

microcontroller hardware associated with the selected board.

The ISDE displays the Synergy Project Editor where you can see all generated files and configurations by

selecting the Clocks, Pins, Threads, ICU, and Components tabs.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Don’t be afraid to look around and check things out. The most important thing to remember is Edit->Undo will

fix most anything you do that you want to take back!
