Description

The Spider serves as a dedicated R‑Car S4 reference platform for assessing R‑Car S4–based systems and supporting the development of operating systems, device drivers, and applications. It offers a complete development environment with hardware and software for automotive gateway applications to support the new E/E architecture.

Features

  • Reduces the board size and BOM costs through MCU core integration into R-Car system-on-chip (SoC), and uses a single board to control both MCU domain and application SoC domain, which was previously required separately.
  • The development board consists of a CPU board with core SoC, power management IC (PMIC) and memory, and an interface board, enabling support for a variety of networks.
  • Supports 16 channels of CAN FD (can be used as 16 channels of LIN and 8 channels of SENT by multi-function), 2 channels of FlexRay, 2 channels of PCIe v4.0 x2 lanes, and 3 channels of 5G-USXGMII for Ethernet.
  • The core system is realized by installing the R-Car S4, LPDDR4x-3200 memory, and HyperFlash™ memory on the CPU board, which contributes to shortening the time-to-market by simplifying the design.
  • The combination of pre-regulators and PMICs developed for R-Car S4 can provide various supply voltages to meet functional safety requirements up to ASIL-D in accordance with ISO 26262.

  1. How to enable JTAG

    Hi,     Our product use R-car S4 and whitebox 5.1.       We want to use trace32 or e2 emulator to debug.     Do I need to enable JTAG or add JTAG driver?     Thanks! Best Regards, Johnny

  2. Inbuilt/Onboard sensors in S4

    Hello Renesas, While researching, I learned that the S4 board includes an integrated 12-bit SAR ADC, which can monitor external signals and help track hardware lifespan. Based on this, I would like to know which sensors are embedded in the S4 board itself, specifically excluding network-related sensors. Thank ...
