HDMI (CN6)

The digital RGB888 signal from the RZ/G1E SoC DU0 is connected to Analog Devices ADV7511 HDMI transmitter. The internal registers of ADV7511 are accessible via I²C interface (slave addresses: 0x72 for writring, 0x73 for reading).

The following displays have been tested with the RZ/G1E Starter Kit board:

Gechic On-Lap1502I Touch Monitor (Don't forget to set CONFIG_HID_MULTITOUCH and connect USB touchscreen)
Lilliput 10' with capacitive touch screen (NOTE: picture quality is not good due to limited native resolution]
Xenarc 7' capacitive touch

VGA (CN9)

The digital RGB666 signal from the RZ/G1E SoC DU1 is connected to Analog Devices ADV7123 video D/A converter. This signal is then feed to the CN9 VGA connector.

The following displays have been tested with the RZ/G1E Starter Kit board:

Analog In/Out

AKM AK4643 audio codec is integrated on the Renesas RZ/G1E Starter Kit board.

AK4643 is in slave mode after reset and can be switched to master by writing to a special register via the I²C interface. It is assumed that SSI_DATA0 is set to transmit mode and SSI_SDATA1 is set to receive mode.

HDMI (CN6)

TBD Describe Audio Out through HDMI connector

Debug Interface (CN1)

Pinout of ARM JTAG connector

The Renesas RZ/G1E Starter Kit board includes a 20-pin header for attaching a ARM JTAG debugger. TCK, TDI and TMS have internal 1.8V pull-up resistors. An additional resistor can be soldered to the board to add 1.8V pull-up to the ASEBRK pin. Refer to File:RZG1E Starter Kit BoardHardwareManual.pdf for more information.

MicroSD card slot

The MicroSD card slot (CN4) is connected to the SD card host interface SDHI1 of the RZ/G1E SoC. When GP4_26 is set to 1, power is supplied. When GP4_26 is set to 0, power is shut off.

eMMC

8GB eMMC MTFC8GLWDQ-3M AIT Z (U5) is installed on the Renesas RZ/G1E Starter Kit board. It is connected to the SoC via 8-bit MMC interface.

eMMC is governed by JESD84-B50 standard.

Ethernet

The RZ/G1E Starter Kit board has one 10/100 Ethernet port compliant with IEEE 802.3u. Micrel KSZ8041 (U13) PHY is used, in RMII mode. The port is Auto MDI/MDI-X Since Ethernet AVB and EthetMAC use same pins of the SoC they cannot be used simultaneously. EtherMAC_B can be used with Ethernet AVB.

Video In

The Video Input interface on the RZ/G1E Starter Kit board can be used with misc. sources of standard analog baseband television signals compatible with NTSC, PAL. (For example: traditional analog CCTV or car front/rear cameras, media players)

The video signal from the Video In connector is converted with Analog Devices ADV7180 into 4:2:2 component 8-bit ITU-R BT.656 video data and passed to the RZ/G1E SoC VIN0 interface

USB

USB connector on the Renesas RZ/G1E Starter Kit board

The CN2 USB type A connector has two ports. The upper port is Ch 0 and the lower port is Ch 1. USB 2.0 mode is supported to the corresponding USBx_OVC pin.

In host mode, each port is current-limited at 2.4 A by ROHM BD82065FVJ. Overcurrent is reported to the Renesas RZ/G1E SoC.

USB Host

USB host mode is possible for both Ch 0 and Ch 1. For Ch0, SW10 should be switched to pin 1 side.

USB Function

USB function mode is possible for Ch0 when SW10 is set to pin 3 side. VBUS from CN2/lower is routed to USB0_OVC/VBUS pin of the Renesas RZ/G1E SoC.

Refer to File:RZG1E Starter Kit BoardHardwareManual.pdf for more information.

Debug Serial (CN13)

The Renesas RZ/G1E SoC debug interface SCIF2 is exposed to the microUSB connector (CN13) via Silicon Labs CP2102. Refer to RZ-G/Boards/SK-RZG1E#Booting_over_TFTP_from_U-Boot for configuring and using the interface.

CP2102 is self powered and requires no power over USB. Keep in mind that CP2102 will not be detected by the host PC until the Renesas RZ/G1E Starter Kit board is connected to 5 V power source.
