Overview
Description
RZ Smart Configurator is a tool that automatically generates initial-setting programs for MPUs.
It provides a quick and smart way of combining and configuring software to meet your needs, such as by configuring pins for peripheral functions of RZ Family MPUs and importing middleware and drivers.
We provide Linux users of RZ Family devices with a standalone version of RZ Smart Configurator. It runs under Linux and includes features such as configuring pins and setting the DTS output and DDR memory.

Videos & Training
This video introduces Smart Configurator for the RZ Family. Smart Configurator (SC) is a GUI-based tool that can easily configure pins.
Additional Details
Pin Settings
The assignments of pins can be set up through a GUI, which also checks and offers solutions for cases of contention for the same pin by multiplexed functions.
The [Pins Configuration] window (displayed per peripheral module)
Specifying a peripheral module in the [Pins Configuration] window displays the pin functions for use by the module and allows you to set the assignment of the functions to pins.
[MCU/MPU Package] window
The [MCU/MPU Package] window displays a symbolic view of the pins, indicating by colors which pins are and are not in use, which have been assigned contending multiplexed functions, and so on. This makes it easy to check the overall situation.
Automatic resolution of contention between pin functions
In cases of contention for a pin, clicking on the pin brings up a list allowing automatic changing of the assignment of the pin to resolve the contention.
Output a Device Settings File for Linux (Note1)
Output a DTS file that contains pin settings. You can readily apply device settings to Linux.
DDR memory setup and optimization (Note2)
You can use the GUI to configure DDR memory settings, resolve parameter conflicts, apply changes to the hardware, and perform tuning easily.
Configuration of DDR memory-related pins and parameters (DDR Configurator)
It allows seamless setup of DDR memory pins. All entered parameters are automatically validated and if any conflicts with other parameters are detected, the tool will display a warning to ensure proper configuration integrity.
Applying DDR memory configurations to the bootloader and OS disk image files (Install Utility)
It provides a GUI that applies configurations by DDR Configurator to the bootloader and operating system disk image files for RZ Family devices and enables writing these configured images to the development board, ensuring a streamlined deployment process.
Tuning and Validating DDR memory parameters
This offers a GUI that enables parameter modification, writing updated parameters to the actual hardware, and performing load tests to ensure system stability and performance.
Note
- The Smart Configurator only generates Device Tree Specification (DTS) include files (dtsi), which are only usable in the development environment of the Linux platform. Manually merge the device-setting code in the generated dtsi files with the default dtsi files included in your source code produced under Linux. For details of the DTS, refer to the links on https://www.devicetree.org .
- For supported devices, please refer to the release notes for the latest version of RZ Smart Configurator.
