| 6 | +Overview |
| 7 | +******** |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +R-Car S4 enables the launch of Car Server/CoGW with high performance, high-speed networking, high security and high functional safety levels that are required as E/E architectures evolve into domains and zones. |
| 10 | +The R-Car S4 solution allows designers to re-use up to 88 percent of software code developed for 3rd generation R-Car SoCs and RH850 MCU applications. |
| 11 | +The software package supports the real-time cores with various drivers and basic software such as Linux BSP and hypervisors. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +The Renesas R-Car Spider board is the Renesas R-Car S4 reference board and is designed for evaluating features and performance of this SoC. |

| 36 | +Supported Features |
| 37 | +================== |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Here are the current supported features when running Zephyr Project on the R-Car S4 Spider CR52: |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | ++-----------+------------------------------+--------------------------------+ |

| 55 | ++-----------+------------------------------+--------------------------------+ |
| 56 | +| PWM | pwm | All channels | |
| 57 | ++-----------+------------------------------+--------------------------------+ |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +It is also currently possible to write on the ram console. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +More features will be supported soon. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Connections and IOs |
| 64 | +=================== |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +The "Spider board" consists of a CPU board and a Breakout board. The CPU board is stuck on top of the Breakout board. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +Here are the official IOs figures from eLinux for S4 board: |

| 71 | + |
| 72 | +`S4 Spider breakout board IOs`_ |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +GPIO |
| 75 | +---- |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +By running Zephyr on S4 Spider, the software controllable LED 'LED8' can be used as output. |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +UART |
| 80 | +---- |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +Here is information about both serial ports provided on the S4 Spider board : |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | ++--------------------+-------------------+--------------------+-------------+------------------------+ |
| 85 | +| Physical Interface | Physical Location | Software Interface | Converter | Further Information | |
| 86 | ++====================+===================+====================+=============+========================+ |
| 87 | +| CN20 USB Port | CPU Board | SCIF0 | FT232HQ | Default Zephyr serial | |
| 88 | ++--------------------+-------------------+--------------------+-------------+------------------------+ |
| 89 | +| CN21 USB Port | CPU Board | SCIF3 | FT2232H-56Q | Used by U-BOOT & Linux | |
| 90 | ++--------------------+-------------------+--------------------+-------------+------------------------+ |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +.. note:: The Zephyr console output is assigned to SCIF0 (CN20 USB Port) with settings 115200 8N1 without hardware flow control by default. |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +I2C |
| 95 | +--- |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +I2C is mainly used to manage and power-on some onboard chips on the S4 Spider board. |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +Embedded I2C devices and I/O expanders are not yet supported. The current I2C support therefore does not make any devices available to the user at this time. |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +Programming and Debugging |
| 102 | +************************* |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +Build and flash applications as usual (see :ref:`build_an_application` and |
| 105 | +:ref:`application_run` for more details). |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +Supported Debug Probe |
| 108 | +===================== |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +The "Olimex ARM-USB-OCD-H" probe is the only officially supported probe. This probe is supported by OpenOCD that is shipped with the Zephyr SDK. |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +The "Olimex ARM-USB-OCD-H" probe needs to be connected with a "Coresight 20 pins" adapter to CN1 connector on Spider board. |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +Configuring a Console |
| 115 | +===================== |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +Connect a USB cable from your PC to CN20 USB port of your Spider board. |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +Use the following settings with your serial terminal of choice (minicom, putty, |
| 120 | +etc.): |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +- Speed: 115200 |
| 123 | +- Data: 8 bits |
| 124 | +- Parity: None |
| 125 | +- Stop bits: 1 |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +Flashing |
| 128 | +======== |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +First of all, open your serial terminal. |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +Applications for the ``rcar_spider_cr52`` board configuration can be built in the usual way (see :ref:`build_an_application` for more details). |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +.. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| 135 | + :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world |
| 136 | + :board: rcar_spider_cr52 |
| 137 | + :goals: flash |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +You should see the following message in the terminal: |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +.. code-block:: console |
| 142 | +
|
| 143 | + *** Booting Zephyr OS build v3.3.0-rc2 *** |
| 144 | + Hello World! rcar_spider_cr52 |
| 145 | +
|
| 146 | +Debugging |
| 147 | +========= |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +First of all, open your serial terminal. |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application. |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +.. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| 154 | + :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world |
| 155 | + :board: rcar_spider_cr52 |
| 156 | + :goals: debug |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +You will then get access to a GDB session for debugging. |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +By continuing the app, you should see the following message in the terminal: |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +.. code-block:: console |
| 163 | +
|
| 164 | + *** Booting Zephyr OS build v3.3.0-rc2 *** |
| 165 | + Hello World! rcar_spider_cr52 |
