Mar 10, 2014 1. Overview Purpose This RSK is an evaluation tool for Renesas microcontrollers. This manual describes the technical details of the RSK hardware. The Quick Start Guide and Tutorial Manual provide details of the software installation and debugging environment.
When the RSK is purchased, the RSK board has the ‘Release’ or stand-alone code from the example tutorial software pre-programmed into the Renesas microcontroller. On powering up the board the LEDs will start to flash. After 200 flashes or after pressing any switch, the text on the LCD display will change and the LED’s will begin to flash at a rate controlled by the potentiometer.

RSKRL78L13 User Circuitry 5. User Circuitry Reset Circuit A reset control circuit is fitted to the RSK to generate the required reset signal, and is triggered from the RES switch. Refer to the RL78L13 hardware manual for details regarding the reset signal timing requirements, and the RSK schematics for information regarding the reset circuitry in use on the board.
RSKRL78L13 User Circuitry Potentiometer A single-turn potentiometer is connected as a potential divider to analog input ANI0, pin 79. The potentiometer can be used to create a voltage between Board_VDD and ground. The potentiometer is fitted to offer an easy method of supplying a variable analog input to the microcontroller. It does not necessarily reflect the accuracy of the controller’s ADC.
RSKRL78L13 User Circuitry Debug LCD Module A debug LCD header is fitted to the RSK; however the two-line debug LCD is not supplied with this kit. It is not possible to use the debug LCD and the LCD panel at the same time, and they should not both be fitted to the RSK.
RSKRL78L13 User Circuitry RS232 Serial Port An RS232 serial port is fitted to the RSK and connected via a level shifter to the microcontroller Serial Array Unit (SAU). Connections between the RS232 header and the microcontroller are listed in Table 5-6 below.
RSKRL78L13 Configuration 6. Configuration Modifying the RSK This section lists the option links that are used to modify the way RSK operates in order to access different configurations. Configurations are made by modifying link resistors or headers with movable jumpers. Table 6-1 below shows the RSKRL78L13 default configuration with respect to the peripheral functionality.
