Management Tool - Renesas R-IN32M3 Quick Start Manual

R-IN32M3 Module
2.3 Software Requirements
2.3.1 Integrated Software Development Environment "Renesas Synergy"
The development of software for the Synergy MCU – which here acts as application controller - requires an
environment consisting of:
⎯ Renesas e2-studio Version 7.5.1
⎯ Renesas Synergy Software Package (SSP) Version 1.7.0
The e2-studio is an Integrated Software Development Environment (ISDE). The ISDE is available on the
webpage of Renesas as seen in the Quick Start Guide of the MCU board. A free Synergy license is required
to use the SSP. The evaluation license is included with SSP installer, that can be downloaded after creating
a Synergy account.
2.3.2 R-IN32M3 Module SW files
Two files are available:
•
Goal Library and Headers
•

Management Tool

2.3.3 GOAL and Project Files
Unpack the goal headers and library to a local folder. This folder contains the goal library and the associated
headers for the Synergy required to build an application for R-IN32M3 Module. In addition, example projects
for each protocol are included to be processed via e2-studio.
The GOAL is part of the OSAL interface (API) which is used on the embedded MCU of R-IN32M3 Module
and on the application controller (AC) to control the module. In this configuration with Renesas Synergy
board and R-IN32M3 Module board the S7G2 MCU on the Renesas Synergy board acts as AC. For details
please refer to the User's Manual for the API.
2.3.4 Management Tool
The Management Tool is a software which simulates a PROFINET master as well as EtherNet/IP scanner on
a Windows PC and is a product of Renesas' cooperation partner port industrial automation GmbH in
Germany. A detailed manual is available from company port
Here are some major hints for the installation of the Management Tool:
The file "Management Tool-*-win32.win32.x86_64.zip" has to be unpacked to a local folder. The resulting
folder contains the executable mantool.exe, which can be started without an installation.
The Management Tool requires the NPF (NetGroup/Npcap Packet Filter) driver, it is installed with
WinPcap/Npcap, see next chapter.
Additionally, the Management Tool requires certain settings in the Windows firewall to receive data. To allow
the communication to R-IN32M3 Module. And also, if some software (such as antivirus) restricts the firewall
of the Network, have to allow(open) the port limitation of the Management tool.
Open "Allow an app through Windows Firewall" from windows search with search word "through Windows
Firewall".
