Quick Start Guide • Purpose This product is an evaluation tool for a Renesas MCU. This user’s manual describes the hardware specifications, the method of setting the switches on the board, and the basic procedures for setting this product up.
Emulator reset headers* Headers: 2 pins x 2 Notes: 1. The intended power supply for the RL78/G1N on the board as shipped is VBUS (5 V). For details, refer to Chapter 5, User Circuits. 2. This part is not mounted.
RL78/G1N Fast Prototyping Board 1. Overview Block Diagram Figure 1-1 shows the block diagram of this product. Arduino Nano connectors connector multiplexed with the MCU headers Evaluation MCU Emulator circuit (RL78/G1N) Emulator reset Power Reset switch headers User LED (EJ1 and EJ2)

RL78/G1N Fast Prototyping Board 4. Operating Environment 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.
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/G1N Fast Prototyping Board 5. User Circuits Arduino Nano Connectors Multiplexed with the MCU Headers 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.

The emulator is placed in the forced reset state by short-circuiting the emulator reset header (EJ2). At this time, remove SS5 and make EJ1 open-circuit. This allows stand-alone operation of the RL78/G1N independently of control by the IDE while the IDE is applying a forcible reset. Figure 5-2 shows the position of the emulator reset headers (EJ2, EJ1, and SS5) (only through-holes are provided;...
Power-Supply Selection Header The operating voltage of the RL78/G1N can be changed to VBUS (5 V) or 3.3 V with the use of this header (J5). Figure 5-3 shows the connection of the header for VBUS (5-V) output, and Figure 5-4 shows the connection of the header for 3.3-V output.
5.11 External Power-Supply Header When operating the RL78/G1N 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 2.25 V to 5.5 V.
RL78/G1N Fast Prototyping Board 5. User Circuits 5.12 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.
5.5 V)* Notes: 1. Connecting the RL78/G1N Fast Prototyping Board to a board supported by an Arduino Nano shield shall be conducted at the user’s own responsibility and should only proceed after confirming the specifications of the power supply and interfaces.
