Description

This evaluation is a high-function version of the R0K578L1CD000BR RL78/L1C HMI Evaluation Kit.

Example

(1) System Demo close to the actual product is available.

  • Combination of HMI such as Touch switch, sensor input, LCD display, voice sound record and playback, etc.
  • Sensor application waking up MCU by a sensor input trigger.

⇒ Reducing the period for planning and specification developing

(2) Utilize this product as a reference for user's development.
Reducing the number of external components and peripheral IC and the dimension size of the PCB by integrated functions of "RX231" and "SAIC101".

  • RX231: Touch sensor IC and sound playback IC, USB I/F IC can be reduced.
  • SAIC101: The discreet components such as an operation amplifier and a resister can be reduced.

⇒ Reducing the development time and resource, a system cost

(3) Reducing software development period by utilizing sample software as the reference.
⇒ Reducing 20% of Software development period.

(4) The development of power saving and M2M application is ready.
Smart Analog IC automatic calibration by MCU is available.
⇒ Realizing sensor controlling system with high reliability.

  • Sample software

This software has developed by Firmware Integration Technology (FIT) module which Renesas developed and inherited FIT features. It is easy to develop user application program when user uses this software as the base program.

Features

  • HMI Evaluation board
    • High power efficiency 32-bit MCU "RX231" built-in Capacitive Touch detection and USB Host I/F.

AI-generated Summary: The USB functionality of the RX231 supports isochronous data transfer, enabling fixed-interval data transmission without retries, ideal for real-time audio or video applications. The USB Speaker Demo Software for RX231 HMI Kit implements speaker functionality using isochronous out transfer as per USB audio device class 1.0. When connected to an amplifier-equipped speaker or headphones, it outputs audio from the USB host. The document includes related terms, abbreviations, and references to USB standards and Renesas firmware integration technologies.
