PE-HMI1 Product Example

AI-generated Summary: The document provides a comprehensive look-up table for Synergy MCU Kits, listing current and new orderable part numbers to assist customers in ordering through distributors. It emphasizes precautions for handling microprocessing and microcontroller units, including electrostatic discharge prevention, power-on processing, signal input during power-off, unused pin handling, clock signal stability, and voltage waveform considerations. It also covers prohibitions on accessing reserved addresses, product differences, and safety and legal disclaimers. The document includes URLs for support, software, and additional resources related to the Synergy Platform. It highlights quality grades and usage restrictions for Renesas products, emphasizing user responsibility for safety and compliance.

AI-generated Summary: The Wi-Fi application project on the PE-HMI1 board demonstrates client mode connectivity to an Access Point using user credentials and DHCP for IP address assignment, displaying the IP on the LCD. It integrates with ThreadX RTOS, NetX, GUIX, and SSP frameworks. The Wi-Fi Framework provides vendor-independent APIs for configuration and control, interfacing with the GT202 Wi-Fi module via SPI drivers. Hardware requirements include the PE-HMI1 board, Mini USB Cable, J-Link Lite, and power supply. The project can be extended by modifying the existing Synergy Thermostat application to add Wi-Fi features using GUIX Studio and ISDE configurator.

AI-generated Summary: The document explains how to use the Audio Player application on supported Renesas Synergy boards, including S7G2 and PK-S5D9. It details connecting the board, importing the project into e² studio, and running the application. Supported audio files are mono, signed, 16-bit, 44.1 kHz PCM WAVE files. The UI includes splash, USB, and main screens, with volume control via buttons or GUI. It notes a current limitation in smooth audio switching, recommending stopping playback before changing tracks.

AI-generated Summary: The document details the setup and configuration of the PE-HMI1 and DK-S7G2 boards for running the Weather Panel application, including specific DIP switch settings and J-Link programming interface connections. It highlights the application’s use of complex HMI designs with GUIX Studio, multi-threading with ThreadX RTOS, and Synergy messaging for inter-thread communication. The Weather Panel leverages Synergy S7G2 or S5D9 MCUs based on ARM Cortex-M4, utilizing various peripherals and drivers to streamline embedded application development.

AI-generated Summary: This document explains how to connect and configure a target board for use with the NetX Web Server on the Renesas Synergy Platform. It details setting up the SEGGER J-Link debugger, enabling Ethernet ports via DIP switches on specific DK-S7G2 board versions, and connecting the board to a PC using an Ethernet cable. It also guides configuring a static IP address on the PC and selecting a unique IP address for the board. Instructions for running the command prompt as an administrator and using the ipconfig command to verify network settings are included.

AI-generated Summary: The USBX Host Class Hub Module manages USB hubs, supporting stand-alone or compound devices, self-powered or bus-powered modes, and cascading of up to five hubs. It requires defining USB host controllers and device classes for operation. The module uses USB controller interrupts and transfer module interrupts, with priority settings configurable in the Synergy Configuration tool. Integration involves adding the module to a thread stack via the SSP configurator, which automatically includes necessary lower-level modules. The module itself has no user APIs or configurable properties; configuration occurs through associated modules.

AI-generated Summary: The document explains how to create and migrate custom Board Support Packages (BSPs) for Renesas Synergy SSP versions 1.1.z and 1.2.0. It details the use of the Custom BSP Creator and Custom Pack Creator tools to generate, modify, and package BSPs. Custom BSPs mainly require changes in the board folder, including essential files like bsp.h and bsp_init.c. The process involves creating a base BSP, making a template pack for modifications, editing in e2 studio, and finalizing a standard pack for distribution. An example using the DK-S7G2 board illustrates these steps.

AI-generated Summary: Connect the J-Link Lite for Cortex M to the PC using the supplied USB cable and ensure the LED shows solid green for proper communication. Attach the provided Ethernet cable from the PE-HMI1 board to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) supply. Run the “Program PE-HMI1 OOB Demo.bat” file to program the PE-HMI1 with the demo application, updating the J-Link firmware if prompted. The demo displays a weather pane on the LCD, allowing interaction with graphics effects like alpha-blending by pressing different days of the week. Support and technical contact details are provided online.
