| 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. |
