R-Car M3 SoC Documentation

Official board documentation

Kingfisher(R-Car Starter kit extension board)

Instruction of using M3SK with the Kingfisher board located here http://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/Kingfisher

Quick Start How To

This sections describes steps that are necessary to run a "Hello, World!" application using Yocto build. Only Wayland is supported.

Build Yocto image

Refer to Yocto for steps necessary for making a Yocto image.

Connect 5 V power supply to the board

Use 5 V power supply with a 5.5 mm barrel plug. The power supply should be able to provide 4(Min) ~ 8(Max)Amps.

Note

  • The recommended value is 8 Amps. But, user can use 4 Amps. and 6 Amps. (depends on the use case).

Connect to serial console

Use a microUSB cable to connect the PC to R-Car Starter Kit Pro (M3ULCB) board. CN12 ("CPLD/DEBUG") must be used on Starter Kit side. It is routed to SCIF2 in the R-Car M3 via a FT232 interface converter chip.

On Linux, FT232 driver is included with kernel versions >=2.6.12. Windows driver and sources can be found on FTDI Chip website.

Serial settings are 115200 8N1. Any standard terminal emulator program can be used.

On Linux:

picocom

sudo picocom -b 115200 DEVICE

replace DEVICE with the proper tty device name, for example /dev/ttyUSB0. Running dmesg | tail can help locating proper device. After the successful connection, picocom should display:

picocom v1.7
port is  : /dev/ttyUSB0 flowcontrol  : none baudrate is  : 115200 parity is  : none databits are  : 8 escape is  : C-a local echo is  : no noinit is  : no noreset is  : no nolock is  : no send_cmd is  : sz -vv receive_cmd is : rz -vv imap is  : omap is  : emap is  : crcrlf,delbs,
Terminal ready

Use Ctrl+A, Ctrl+Q to exit picocom.

minicom

sudo minicom -b 115200 -D DEVICE

replace DEVICE with the proper tty device name, for example /dev/ttyUSB0. Running dmesg | tail can help locating proper device. After the successful connection, minicom should display:

Welcome to minicom 2.6.2
OPTIONS: I18n Compiled on Aug 7 2013, 13:32:48. Port /dev/ttyUSB0
Press CTRL-A Z for help on special keys

Use Ctrl+A, Q to exit minicom.

If you encounter problems, make sure that minicom is configured with hardware flow control off. To check this, start minicom with 'minicom -s' then select "Serial port setup" and set 'F - Hardware Flow Control' to 'No'.

Power on the board and go to U-Boot prompt

Short-press SW8 "Power" to switch the board on. Then you should see the following output in the terminal:

Welcome to minicom 2.7

Quickly hit any key to get into U-boot command prompt. Use SW9 ("Reset") to reboot the board when necessary.
You should see the following:

Change/update MAC address for Ethernet interface

In U-boot command line type:

=> setenv ethact ravb
=> setenv ethaddr aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
=> saveenv

The original (board default) MAC address can be found on the label on top of RJ45 connector.

A user who purchased M3SK board must set the above by himself.

Configure U-Boot to boot over TFTP + NFS or from a micro SD card

Refer to Yocto page for steps necessary for running Yocto.

Serial Console

Use a micro-USB cable to connect to "Debug Serial-0" (CN10 for ws1.0, CN12 for ws1.1). Serial settings are 115200 8N1.
