AI-generated Summary: The guide explains how to import and build projects using IAR Embedded Workbench (EW) for Renesas Synergy. It details opening the workspace file from an extracted example project, viewing the project structure, and configuring settings for the Synergy Standalone Configurator (SSC) and Synergy Software Package (SSP). It also covers setting the SSC/SSP path and license file, and launching the Synergy Standalone Configurator within the IDE to generate project files.
Application Note PDF 439 KB
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.

  1. CAN bit rate on TB-S3A6

    Hi, We would like to evaluate the CAN communication between the SK-S7G2 card (which we already have) and the TB-S3A6 card (to be purchased) with high bit rates (500KBits and 1 MBits). Does the basic X2=32 KHz quartz on the TB-S3A6 board allow these tests or ...
