Introduction

This page contains how to set up CCPF-SK for the first time.

Required items

  1. CCPF-SK
  2. R-Car Starter Kit Premier(H3) or R-Car Starter Kit Pro(M3)
    See also R-Car/Boards/CCPF-SK/GettingStarted/Linux#Confirmed_Starter_Kit.
  3. Micro SD card(at least 16GB)
  4. Tools for assembly
    • phillips screwdriver, wrench, nut driver
  5. Host PC(Ubuntu 20.04 x64 is recommended as OS)
  6. Write down the MAC Address
    The original (board default) MAC address can be found on the label on top of RJ45 connector.
  7. Prebuilt Yocto BSP binary
    • Download Yocto BSP binary and GFX/MMP package from following page:
      Binary: Download for H3 Download for M3
      GFX/MMP: Download for H3 Download for M3
      18px <translate> Note:</translate> Source code is not needed for this guide. But, if source code is required, please refer to following:
      Source: Download for H3 Download for M3
    • Extract downloaded files
      ex.) R-Car Starter Kit Premier(H3)
      Unzip Yocto-v5.9.0-ccpfsk-h3ulcb-binary.zip -d <working directory>
      Unzip Yocto-v5.9.0-ccpfsk-h3ulcb-gfx_mmp.zip -d <working directory>
      Expected Directory Structure is following:
      <working directory>
          |-- binary      
          `-- gfx_mmp

SW Setup

Prepare SD card

  1. Insert SD card to Host PC
  2. Install bmaptool
    sudo apt install bmap-tools
    
  3. Check SD card device file path(ex. /dev/sdb, /dev/mmcblk0 and so on)
    sudo fdisk -l
    
  4. Flash image to SD card using bmaptool
    cd <working directory>
    sudo umount /dev/sdx*
    sudo bmaptool copy ./binary/rootfs/core-image-weston-release-h3ulcb.wic.xz /dev/sdx
    # note: If you use m3 starter kit, please use core-image-weston-release-m3ulcb.wic.xz
    
  5. Copy GFX/MMP package to 2nd partition of SD card
    sudo mount /dev/sdx2 /mnt
    sudo cp ./gfx_mmp/gfx_mmp.tar.bz2 -t /mnt
    sudo umount /mnt
    

Flashing IPL(Firmware)

  1. Install required application and setup serial device.
    sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
    pip3 install pyserial
    sudo gpasswd -a $USER dialout
    
  2. Power off the Boards
  3. Connect Host PC and the Board with Micro-USB cable.
    1. /dev/ttyUSBx is checked by using "dmesg" command
      dmesg | grep /dev/ttyUSB
      
  4. Run the script to flash IPL(firmware)
    1. Execute following command
      cd binary/ipl
      ./renesas-bsp-rom-writer_64bit/starterkit/linux/yocto_writer
      
    2. Follow the instruction shown in console.
    3. Wait for script is finished.

Booting Yocto

  1. power off the board
  2. Insert Micro SD card to the board
  3. launch minicom
    minicom -D /dev/ttyUSBx
    
  4. Power on the board and interrupt autoboot on U-boot by pressing any key.
  5. Execute following command for set up U-boot:
    setenv ethaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
    setenv bootargs 'rw root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 rootwait'
    setenv dtb 'r8a77951-ulcb-ccpf-sk.dtb'
    setenv load_kernel_sd 'ext2load mmc 0:1 0x48080000 /boot/Image'
    setenv load_dtb_sd 'ext2load mmc 0:1 0x48000000 /boot/${dtb}'
    setenv bootcmd 'run load_kernel_sd; run load_dtb_sd; booti 0x48080000 - 0x48000000'
    saveenv
    
    Note:
    Input your board's mac address instead of "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ".
    dtb is changed by Starter Kit version. Please refer to following table.
    Please refer to the following page to check your Starter kit version:
  6. Execute "reset" command on U-boot to reset the board
  7. Yocto will be booted automatically
    Note:
    The board reboots automatically for the first booting Yocto.
    This is caused by installing GFX/MMP package.
    After the second boot, automatic reboot is not occurred.

FAQ site

U-boot doesn't boot.

  • Please check the Dip switch(SW1=ON, SW6=All ON) on R-Car Starter Kit(Not CCPF-SK board).
See also :
  • If U-Boot doesn't boot in spite that SW1/SW6 is correct, please flash the IPL(firmware) again.
See also:
  • If U-Boot doesn't boot after following above instruction, the board may be broken.
So please try other board.
