Overview
4+
********
5+
6+
The FPB-RX261 is a Fast Prototyping Board for the Renesas RX261 MCU Group, designed to
7+
evaluate features of the RX261 family and accelerate embedded system development. The board
8+
includes native MCU pin access, integrated debugger, power flexibility, and expansion connectors.
9+
10+
The key features of the FPB-RX261 board are categorized in two groups:
11+
12+
**MCU Native Pin Access**
13+
14+
- R5F52618BGFP MCU
15+
- 64 MHz Renesas RXv3-based RX261 MCU in 100-pin LFQFP package
16+
- 512 KB Code Flash, 8 KB Data Flash, 128 KB RAM
17+
- Native pin access through 2 x 50-pin male headers (not fitted)
18+
- MCU current measurement point for precision current consumption measurement
19+
- RX MCU on-chip oscillators as main clock
20+
- Providing 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator as sub clock
21+
22+
**System Control and Ecosystem Access**
23+
24+
- 5V input sources:
25+
26+
- USB (USB DEBUG1 - J5)
27+
- External 5V via 2-pin header (J8)
28+
29+
- On-board debugger via E2 Emulator OB (FINE interface)
30+
31+
- User LEDs:
32+
33+
- 2 Green User LEDs (PJ1, PC5)
34+
- 1 Green Power LED
35+
- 1 Yellow Debug LED
36+
37+
- User Buttons:
38+
39+
- 1 User Switch (S1 - P32)
40+
- 1 Reset Switch (S2)
41+
42+
- Popular expansion connectors:
43+
44+
- 2x Digilent Pmod connectors (J13, J14 - UART/SPI/I2C)
45+
- Arduino Uno R3-compatible header (J9-J12)
46+
47+

Supported Features
55+
==================
56+
57+
.. zephyr:board-supported-hw::
58+
59+
Other hardware features are currently not supported by the port.
60+
61+
Programming and Debugging
62+
*************************
63+
64+
.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::
65+
66+
Applications for the ``fpb_rx261`` board can be built, flashed, and debugged using standard Zephyr workflows.
67+
Refer to :ref:`build_an_application` and :ref:`application_run` for more details.
68+
69+
**Note:** Currently, the RX261 is built and programmed using the Renesas GCC RX toolchain.
70+
Please follow the steps below to program it onto the board:
71+
72+
- Download and install GCC for RX toolchain:
73+
74+
https://llvm-gcc-renesas.com/rx-download-toolchains/
75+
76+
- Set env variable:
77+
78+
.. code-block:: console
79+
80+
export ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT=cross-compile
81+
export CROSS_COMPILE=<Path/to/your/toolchain>/bin/rx-elf-
82+
83+
- Build the Blinky Sample for FPB-RX261
84+
85+
.. code-block:: console
86+
87+
cd ~/zephyrproject/zephyr
88+
west build -p always -b fpb_rx261 samples/basic/blinky
89+
90+
Flashing
91+
========
92+
93+
The program can be flashed to FPB-RX261 via the on-board **E2 Emulator OB**.
94+
95+
- **Renesas Flash Programmer (RFP)** can be used with the on-board debugger
96+
https://www.renesas.com/software-tool/renesas-flash-programmer-programming-gui
97+
98+
1. **Connect the board:**
99+
100+
- Use USB DEBUG1 (J5) to connect the on-board E2 Emulator to the PC
101+
102+
2. **Configure jumpers for flashing:**
103+
104+
- J4: Jumper on pins **2-3** (enable E2 OB)
105+
- J7: Jumper on pins **1-2** (3.3V system voltage)
106+
107+
3. **Run flashing command:**
108+
109+
.. code-block:: console
110+
111+
west flash
112+
113+
Or use Renesas Flash Programmer with settings:
114+
- Debugger: E2 Emulator Lite
115+
- Interface: FINE
116+
- MCU: R5F52618
117+
118+
Debugging
119+
=========
120+
121+
Debugging is supported via:
122+
123+
- **On-board E2 Emulator OB** using USB DEBUG1 (J5)
124+
125+
To use debugger:
126+
127+
- J4: Jumper on pins **2-3** (enable E2 OB)
128+
- J7: Jumper on pins **1-2** (3.3V)
129+
- LED4 (Yellow) indicates debugger status
130+
131+
**Note:** Only one FPB-RX261 board can be debugged per PC at a time using E2 OB.
