R-IN32M3 Module

1.3 Software Requirements

1.3.1 Integrated Software Development Environment "Renesas Synergy"
The environment for developing software for the Synergy SK-S7G2, which acts as the application controller,
requires the following elements.
 Renesas e2-studio version 7.5.1 or later
 Renesas Synergy software package (SSP) version 1.7.0 or later
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.
1.3.2 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 the 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 the R-IN32M3
Module and on the application controller (AC) to control the module. In this configuration with the Renesas
Synergy board and the R-IN32M3 Module board, the S7G2 MCU on the Renesas Synergy board acts as the
AC. For details, refer to the r17us0001ed**** User's Manual for the Software API.
1.3.3

Management Tool

The Management Tool is software which simulates a PROFINET master as well as an EtherNet/IP scanner
on a Windows PC and is a product of Renesas' partner port industrial automation GmbH in Germany.
(https://www.port.de/ ).
The Management Tool is available on R-IN32M3 Module product web.
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, that is installed with
WinPcap/Npcap. For details, see next chapter.
Additionally, the Management Tool requires certain settings in the Windows firewall to receive data. If some
software (such as antivirus) restricts the firewall of the Network to communication with the R-IN32M3 Module,
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".
