Quick Start Guide DK-S3A7 v2.0 In the box The following components are included in the DK-S3A7 Development Kit: * * * * * * DK-S3A7 Main Board (DK-S3A7M V2.0) DK-S3A7 Breakout Board (DK-S3A7B V2.0) DK-S3A7 Segment LCD panel (DK-S3A7LCD V2.0) One USB Type A to Micro-B cable Multi-region 5V, 2.0A power supply Quick Start Guide Overview This kit and the associated development tools provide the user with a platform to develop products with the Renesas SynergyTM S3 microcontrollers. This Quick Start Guide will walk the user through using the Out-of-Box Demo then give step by step directions to develop, configure, generate, build, download and execute the "Blinky" SSP project. DK-S3A7 Kit NOTE: This Quick Start Guide covers version 2.0 of the DK-S3A7 Development Kit. DK-S3A7 v2.0 Quick Start Guide Prerequisites Required software and tools * Minimum PC Requirements: Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 7 with Intel(R) CoreTM family processor running at 2.0 GHz or higher (or equivalent processor), 8 GB memory, 250 GB hard disk or SSD, USB 2.0, Connection to the Internet * e2 studio Integrated Solution Development Environment (ISDE) from Renesas * Renesas SynergyTM Software Package (SSP) Installation Tools are available for download at: https://synergygallery.renesas.com NOTE: Version numbers of the tools may change. Below we show the versions that were available when this document was developed. 1) Download and install the latest revision of the Development Tool - e2 studio (ISDE) following the below instructions: (NOTE: Unless informed otherwise below, use the default options.) a) You must select at least the Renesas SynergyTM Family when the below dialog box appears. b) You must select the additional software "GCC ARM Embedded 4.8.2014q3" when the following dialog box appears. 2) Download and install the latest revision of the Synergy Software Package using the default options. R12QS0003EU0100 Rev1.00 October 9, 2015 Page 2 of 11 DK-S3A7 v2.0 Quick Start Guide Connecting the board components To power the boards and connect the boards to the PC, follow these steps: 1) Set the JTAG DIP switch 7 on S5 to ON (toward the LEDs). 2) 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. R12QS0003EU0100 Rev1.00 October 9, 2015 Page 3 of 11 DK-S3A7 v2.0 Quick Start Guide 3) Connect the USB cable provided with the DK-S3A7 to the J-Link OB (J15) on the Main Board. 4) Connect the other end of the USB cable to a USB port of the PC. Now LED13 will turn show Green (no flashingRed), 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. Ambient Light Sensor Light Scale 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. R12QS0003EU0100 Rev1.00 October 9, 2015 Page 4 of 11 DK-S3A7 v2.0 Quick Start Guide 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: 1) 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. 2) 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. 3) Start a new Synergy Project by clicking on File > New > Synergy Project. R12QS0003EU0100 Rev1.00 October 9, 2015 Page 5 of 11 DK-S3A7 v2.0 Quick Start Guide 4) The ISDE displays the Project Configuration (Synergy Project) dialog box. 5) Enter "Blinky_DK_S3A7" as the Project name. 6) 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. 7) Click Next. The ISDE displays the Project Configuration (Synergy Project) window with the Device Selection options. 8) Select S3A7 DK and leave all other options in this window at their default settings. R12QS0003EU0100 Rev1.00 October 9, 2015 Page 6 of 11 DK-S3A7 v2.0 Quick Start Guide 9) 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: 2 The e 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! R12QS0003EU0100 Rev1.00 October 9, 2015 Page 7 of 11 DK-S3A7 v2.0 14) Generate the project content by clicking on the < Quick Start Guide > button. 15) Build the project by selecting Project -> Build Project or clicking on the Build icon . The Blinky Project should build with no errors. Debugging and running the Blinky Project To debug and run the project, follow these steps: 1) Configure the debugger by selecting the drop-down menu next to the debug icon and select <Debug Configurations...> R12QS0003EU0100 Rev1.00 October 9, 2015 Page 8 of 11 DK-S3A7 v2.0 Quick Start Guide 2) Select your Blinky Project <Blinky_DK_S3A7 Debug> 3) Click Debug. NOTE: IF asked to Confirm Perspective Switch, click <Yes>. (If you click the <Remember my decision> check box before clicking <Yes> you will not see this selection again.) NOTE: If the update J-Link firmware dialog box is displayed, we highly recommend that you click <Yes>. R12QS0003EU0100 Rev1.00 October 9, 2015 Page 9 of 11 DK-S3A7 v2.0 Quick Start Guide The ISDE downloads the project onto the board. 4) Click on the Resume icon, , and the software will run till hal_entry (). 5) Click on the Resume icon, , and the software will run turning LED1 on and off.
