MCU clocks, refer to the RL78/G22 User’s Manual: Hardware. For details on the clock circuit of this product, refer to the circuit schematics of the RL78/G22 Fast Prototyping Board. Table 5-10 shows the details of the clocks on the RL78/G22 Fast Prototyping Board.
RL78/G22 Fast Prototyping Board 5. User Circuits 5.11 Reset Switch Pressing the reset switch (RST) applies a hardware reset to the evaluation MCU. 5.12 User Switch An optional user switch (SW) is mounted. It is connected to pin 43 of the evaluation MCU, which operates as pin function P137.
RL78/G22 Fast Prototyping Board 5. User Circuits 5.14 USB-to-Serial Converter Reset Header The USB-to-serial converter is placed in the forced reset state by short-circuiting its reset header (J15). If the evaluation MCU alone is to operate without the use of the RL78 COM port debug tool, place the USB-to-serial converter in the reset state.
RL78/G22 Fast Prototyping Board 5. User Circuits 5.15 Power-Supply Selection Header The operating power (VDD) of the evaluation MCU can be changed to supply from the emulator or external power, and to 5 V or 3.3 V with the use of a header (J17). Only change the jumper setting of J17 while power is not being supplied.

RL78/G22 Fast Prototyping Board 6. Handling Precautions (2) Not using the serial connection function of QE After the changes to the circuit have been made as described under “(1) Usage with the serial connection function of QE”, if you want to restore the settings to those for COM port debugging (including the case of the usage described under note above), make the following change of setting as follows.
UART transmission to the P12/TxD0 line is written to the target MCU before the host PC recognizes the USB-to-serial converter as the COM port, the operation of the USB-to-serial converter may be unstable and prevent connection to the Renesas Flash Programmer or terminal software.
