4. Operating Environment Figure 4-1 shows the operating environment of this product. Install the IDE from the following URL on the host PC. The installer automatically installs all required drivers along with the IDE. https://www.renesas.com/development-tools USB cable RL78/G1P Fast Prototyping Board...
USB Connector The connector shape is micro-USB Type-B for the IDE and for the Renesas Flash Programmer (RFP). Connect the USB connector to the computer by a USB cable. If the power supply on the host side is on, the power is supplied to this product at the same time as connection of the cable.
RL78/G1P Fast Prototyping Board 5. User Circuits Pmod Connector A Pmod connector can be connected to the RL78/G1P via type 2A or type 6 Pmod interface. Figure 5-1 and Table 5-1 show the pin assignments of the Pmod connector. Power Pin No.
RL78/G1P Fast Prototyping Board 5. User Circuits Arduino Nano Connector The specification of the Arduino Nano connector is on the assumption that Arduino Nano shields are to be connectable. However, we do not guarantee connection to all types of Arduino Nano shield.

RL78/G1P Fast Prototyping Board 5. User Circuits MCU Headers In this product, through-holes having a pitch of 2.54 mm are assigned to six pins and connected to the RL78/G1P separately from the MCU headers which are also for use as an Arduino Nano interface. For the connections of the RL78/G1P pins to the headers which are also for use as an Arduino...
RL78/G1P Fast Prototyping Board 5. User Circuits 5.11 Emulator Reset Header The emulator is placed in the forced reset state by short-circuiting the emulator reset header (EJ1). This allows stand-alone operation of the RL78/G1P independently of control by the IDE while the IDE is applying a forcible reset.
RL78/G1P Fast Prototyping Board 5. User Circuits 5.12 External Power-Supply Header When operating the RL78/G1P at a desired external input voltage, or when more current is required than the USB is capable of supplying, use the external power-supply header (J4) to supply power. The usable voltage range is from 2.7 V to 3.6 V.
RL78/G1P Fast Prototyping Board 5. User Circuits 5.13 Current Measurement Header The current measurement header (J3) is used to measure the current drawn by the evaluation MCU (the J3 header component is not mounted). The current drawn can be measured by connecting an ammeter to the evaluation MCU.
6. Handling Precautions Power to be Supplied The maximum current that the power-supply IC (ISL9005AIRNZ-T from Renesas) can supply is 300 mA during operation at 3.3 V. If power is to be supplied to this product via the USB, take care with the regard to the load that the USB-power source is capable of driving.
