RZ/G2L Group and RZ/V2L SMARC EVK
Start-up Guide
Introduction
This document provides a guide to prepare RZ/G2L Group and RZ/V2L reference boards to boot up with the Board
Support Package of RZ/G2L Group and RZ/V2L Group. Especially, procedures to write the bootloaders to each board
are explained.
Bootloaders are written to the Flash ROM on the board using the Flash Writer tool provided by Renesas through the
minimonitor utility. This document explains the way to write these files using the Flash Writer.
