Transmission should start immediately and the progress counter should be displayed: Use Ctrl+A, Ctrl+S, then select uboot.srec file and hit Enter. Alternatively, you can download it from this site File:G1E picocom It should be available in the $WORK/build/tmp/deploy/images/skrzg1e/ folder which is generated by bitbake during the Yocto build. Please Input User Program Start Address : This activates 64MB SPI Flash for U-Boot.
MiniMonitor is asking to flip SW9 to 1 pin side. Load Program to Spiflash memory (U6:S25FL512S) You should be able to see the following output:
You should see the following output on the console (version numbers can be different):Ģ015.11.10 Ver0.05a ** Program on DRAM (H'40000000-) **
QUIT MINICOM SERIAL
Refer to " Connect to serial console" section for more information. Sudo picocom -b BAUDRATE -send-cmd "ascii-xfr -vvs" DEVICE If using picocom, start it with the following command line options: MiniMonitor is loaded via the SPI boot interface of RZ/G1E. This selects 4MB SPI Flash with MiniMonitor as a boot device. Follow these steps carefully to flash U-Boot:
QUIT MINICOM UPDATE
You may want to update U-Boot in case of upgrade or if the board you received does not have the U-Boot flashed. In a standard configuration the 4MB Flash S25FL032 stores the original MiniMonitor firmware (for backup/rescue purposes) and the 64 MB FLash S25FL512 stores MiniMonitor (QSPI Loader) and U-Boot (main storage). The board has two SPI Flash memory chips selectable by SW9. The RZ/G1E Starter Kit board is booted from QSPI Flash. The RZ/G1E SoC can be booted from various sources. Refer to Yocto page for steps necessary for running Yocto. Use SW5 Reset to reboot the board when necessary.Ĭonfigure U-Boot to boot over TFTP + NFS or from a micro SD card Quickly hit any key to get into U-boot command prompt. SF: Detected S25FL512S with page size 256 KiB, total 64 MiB Then you should see the following output in the terminal: Orange LED should lit up indicating that board has 3.3V power. Short-press SW11 "Power" to switch the board on. Power on the board and go to U-Boot prompt Running dmesg | tail can help locating proper device.Īfter the successful connection, picocom should display:Īfter the successful connection, minicom should display: Replace DEVICE with the proper tty device name, for example /dev/ttyUSB0. Any standard terminal emulator program can be used. The previous version v6.7 has been verified to work correctly.
QUIT MINICOM DRIVER
NOTE: There have been reports of system freezes caused by the latest version of the driver v6.7.2. Windows driver and sources can be found on the Silicon Labs website. On Linux, CP2102 driver is included with kernel versions >=2.6.12. It is routed to SCIF2 in the RZ/G1E via a CP2102 interface converter chip. The the CN13 ("DEBUG") connector on the board.
QUIT MINICOM PC
Use a microUSB cable to connect the PC to RZ/G1E Starter Kit board. The power supply should be able to provide 4 Amps. Use 5 V power supply with a 5.5 mm barrel plug. Refer to Yocto for steps necessary for making a Yocto image. This sections describes steps that are necessary to run a "Hello, World!" application using Yocto build.
