Renesas Koelsch

Introduction

This is the Wiki for the Renesas R-Car M2-W Koelsch board (RTP0RC7791SEB00010S). Refer to the R-Car page for information about Renesas' R-Car SoC family.

Serial Console

Use a micro-USB cable to connect to "Debug Serial 0". Serial settings are 115200 8N1.

Booting Linux

 * Kernel config: shmobile_defconfig
 * Kernel image: arch/arm/boot/zImage
 * DTB: arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7791-koelsch.dtb

U-Boot boot command:

tftp 41000000 zImage
tftp 40f00000 r8a7791-koelsch.dtb
bootz 41000000 - 40f00000

Bootloader

Updating U-Boot

You may want to update U-Boot in case of upgrade or if the board you received does not have the U-Boot flashed. Follow these steps carefully to flash U-Boot:

  1. Set SW17 to pin 3 side. This selects 4MB SPI Flash with MiniMonitor as a boot device.
    Switch pin layout
    MiniMonitor is loaded via SPI boot interface of R-Car M2.
  2. Connect to serial console over microUSB.
    minicom -b 38400 -D DEVICE
    
  3. Switch the board ON or reset it.
    You should see the following output on the console (version numbers can be different):

    Now you need to send the new U-Boot image in srec format over the serial console. There are different ways of doing this in in different terminal applications, here minicom is used.

    Use Ctrl+A, S, choose ascii, then locate u-boot.srec file and hit <enter>. Transmission should start immediately and the progress counter should be displayed, once the transmission is finished you should be able to see the following:

    U-Boot is now updated, reset the board and try it out!

    Remember to change baud rate if you are using something different then 38400.

  13. If you are updating from a old U-Boot version which already had a environment present make sure that the following variables are present in your new U-Boot environment (values for variables are the default ones but might be different on other systems?).
    bootm_low=0x40e00000
    bootm_size=0x100000
