Precautions This Renesas Synergy Development Kit is only intended for use in a laboratory environment under ambient temperature and humidity conditions. A safe separation distance should be used between this and any sensitive equipment. Its use outside the laboratory, classroom, study area or similar such area invalidates conformity with the protection requirements of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive and could lead to prosecution.

Provides all support circuitry to convert serial data to displayed data 1.7 Usage Models The DK-S124 is designed as a hardware design kit platform as well as software development platform for OEM applications requiring some Human Machine Interface (HMI) and communications capabilities. The platform has some direct machine-control-support GPIO available through the PMOD and Seeed Grove ports, although the platform may also be used in conjunction with an OEM’s intelligent I/O and power subsystem, possibly...
Getting Started The DK-S124 includes the Main Board assembled with bumper feet and an acrylic cover over the touch region, a PMOD serial LCD daughter card, a 3-foot (91-cm) USB Type A to Micro-B adapter cable, and a Quick Start Guide.
USB port, both LED4 LEDs are lit on J-Link MCU commands making LED4 appear orange. LED4 is located in the box labeled “POWER” on the DK-S124. LED4 is not powered by the coin cell with jumpers properly installed.
The DK-S124 is delivered preloaded with a demonstration program. The demonstration program shows several features of the DK-S124 and source code is available as a programming example for developers. See the Quick Start Guide delivered with the DK-S124 for details of use of and expected board behavior when running the demonstration program.
This switcher, using a tiny inductor, creates 3.3 V at up to 2 A to the DK-S124. It can operate with +5-V rail voltage between about 5.8 V and about 2 V. The variant of the switcher shown is internally set for FB pin voltage of 3.3 V.
DK-S124 User’s Manual Power Supplies Therefore, LED4 orange indicates both J-Link MCU activity and 3.3-V Main Power available, and LED4 green indicates 3.3-V Main Power available, implying the availability of either 5 V from barrel jack J1 or 5 V from the J- Link USB connector J14.

PC or other USB Host jack. The connector on the second is Micro-B for insertion into either the J10 USB Device or the J14 J-Link jack on the DK-S124 main board. If both connections are needed simultaneously, a second cable will be needed.
4.6 External Power Supply The DK-S124 is intended to be used with the USB cable providing power, but a barrel jack is also provided on the main board for an external 5V source. A wall-mounted AC-to-DC power converter may be used with the DK-S124, plugged into J1 near the upper left corner of the main board.

DK-S124 User’s Manual Connectivity be chosen to have less than a 0.1-V drop at maximum expected load. With a resistor installed at R4, the jumper may be removed, since the connection will always be made. J19 will normally have a jumper installed across its pins. Removing the jumper will remove power from the light sensor, the temperature sensor, and sensor portions of the 3-axis accelerometer.
The RS-232/485 and CAN connector header connects the ISL41387 RS-232/485 transceiver and the IFX1050 CAN transceiver to the mating screw-terminal-block adapter supplied with the DK-S124 kit. The S124 MCU interfaces with the ISL41387 RS-232/485 transceiver are shown in Table 7.

Farad 8.2 Port Numbering Renesas datasheets for MCUs generally refer to ports with numbers like “P001”, “P110”, and similar. This document generally refers to these ports as “P0_1” and “P1_10” respectively to add clarity. Port 5 bit 15 would be referred to in the datasheet as “P515”, in this manual as “P5_15”. The two forms should be considered identical in meaning.
