Overview
Description
The RZ/G2L-SBC board is a power-efficient, graphics-enabled development board in a popular single board computer (SBC) format with well-supported expansion interfaces. This Renesas RZ/G2L processor-based platform is ideal for developing cost-efficient HMI, industrial, robotics, and a range of energy-efficient design applications. The RZ/G2L processor has two 1.2GHz Arm® Cortex®-A55 cores, a 200MHz Cortex-M33 core, an Arm Mali 3D GPU, and an image scaling unit. This processor SoC is equipped with an on-chip plus H.264 video (1920 x 1080) encode/decode function in silicon, making it ideal for implementing cost-effective embedded vision and display applications.
RZ/G2L-SBC is engineered in a compact Raspberry Pi form factor with a versatile set of expansion interfaces, including Gigabit Ethernet, 801.11ac Wi-Fi, four USB 2.0 host ports, a MIPI DSI display with touch and CSI camera interfaces, a CAN FD interface, a Pmod™ interface, a Pi Hardware Attached on Top (HAT) compatible 40-pin expansion header, and two expansion sockets for a daughter card.
The board supports analog audio applications via audio codec and stereo headphone jack. It also pins out five 12-bit ADC inputs for interfacing with analog sensors through an expansion module (not included). The 5V input power is sourced via a USB-C connector and managed via a single-chip Renesas RAA215300 PMIC device.
The onboard memory includes 1GB DDR4, 64 MiB QSPI NOR flash memory, and a microSD slot for removable boot media. Software enablement includes CIP Kernel-based Linux BSP (maintained for 10 years+) plus reference designs that highlight demo implementations of HMI applications. Onboard 10-pin JTAG/SWD mini-SMT header (unpopulated) and 40-pin GPIO header enable the use of an external debugger and USB-serial cable.
