Overview
Description
The Renesas Starter Kit+ for RX63N is intended as a user-friendly introductory and evaluation tool for the RX63N microcontroller. The board also provides a useful platform for evaluating the Renesas suite of development tools for coding and debugging, using High-performance Embedded Workshop as well as programming the device using E1 emulator and/or Flash Development Toolkit.
The Renesas Starter Kit+ for RX63N has been developed speed up code development and reduce time to market. An Renesas Starter Kit+, as the name suggests, is a complete development kit for Renesas microcontrollers.
Product Limitation
Renesas Starter Kit+ for RX63N Product Limitation (19 Nov 2012)
A limitation exists with the board used on a batch of Renesas Starter Kit+ for RX63N Products.
Serial Numbers Affected: 00039142 to 00039393 and 00038254 to 00038313 inclusive.
Limitation:
After the RSK+RX63N board is turned on without connecting with an E1 debugger, Ethernet communication may not work properly.
Explanation:
The Ethernet PHY device does not receive a correct reset signal after the board is turned on unless the E1 is connected or the reset switch is pressed. This results in the PHY device being incorrectly configured preventing Ethernet communication.
Work-around:
After turning ON the board, press the 'RES' reset switch on the board to reset the PHY device.
Layout and Specification
The LCD display module is supplied as a detachable sub-board. The board dimensions are 150 mm by 180 mm, detailed dimensions are available in the user manual.

AI-generated Summary:
The RX100 Series Flash Programmer operates on the Renesas Starter Kit+ for RX63N, rewriting the user area of the RX100 Series MCU via asynchronous serial communication (SCI). It uses Channel 0 (SCIO) for communication with a data format of 1 start bit, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit, initially at 19,200 bps and switching to 1 Mbps after status transition. The flash programmer program and data reside in the RSK+RX63N user area, with a detailed memory map provided for different ROM sizes.

AI-generated Summary:
The flash programmer operates on the Renesas Starter Kit+ for RX63N, rewriting the user area of the RX63N Group MCU via asynchronous serial communication using SCIO channel 0. Communication uses an 8-bit data format at 19,200 bps initially, switching to 1.5 Mbps after programming commands. The RSK+RX63N user area stores the flash programmer program and data, with memory maps varying by ROM size. Operation confirmation includes MCU specifications, clock frequencies, voltage, and development environment details. Reference application notes provide initial settings and debug functions.

AI-generated Summary:
The RX63N RSK sample code provides source files for high-performance embedded development using the Renesas RX Toolchain. It includes example projects demonstrating peripheral initialization, such as ADC one-shot mode, with source files accessible via the HEW workspace. The sample code configures the ADC to perform 12-bit single-shot conversions and displays results on an LCD. Users can compile, download, and run the code, adjusting inputs to observe ADC readings. Support and inquiries are available through Renesas websites.
