Chapter 1 Introduction Chapter 1 Introduction The V850E2/Px4 Starter Kit is Renesas’ new evaluation platform for the latest 32-bit microcontroller V850E2/Px4. The board is designed for engineers starting software development with the V850E2/Px4 device e.g. with the Renesas’ AUTOSAR compliant MCAL.
The 1.2 V overvoltage LED is an indicator for overvoltage on the 1.2 V line, thus the non-glowing of this LED is not a malfunction. The V850E2/Px4 is available for two different I/O voltages, 3.3 V or 5 V. As the Starter Kit Board supports both types, the I/O voltage can be chosen by CN18.
For additional information please consult the Data Sheet of the reset controller (Texas Instruments, TLC7701ID). 2.4 Nexus connection The 20-pin Nexus debug cable from Renesas’ debug tool (e.g. MiniCube) can be connected to the Nexus Connector on the board. 2.5 E1 connector The board is equipped with a 14-pin connector.
Chapter 3 Communication Chapter 3 Communication The Starter Kit Board is equipped with five D-Sub connectors, mounted at the left and right side. On the left side you can find the two female connectors for FlexRay and one shared male connector for UART and LIN. On the right side the two female connectors for CAN are located.
Chapter 3 Communication 3.1.2 LIN-Transmission For LIN transmission some jumper settings have to be done to disconnect the UART signals and connect the LIN signals to the microcontroller and the D-sub connector. To set/clear all needed connections please use the jumper settings of Table 3-3. Table 3-3 LIN bus signal jumpers Signal...
Chapter 3 Communication 3.1.3 UART/LIN connectors The signal layout of the UART/LIN D-Sub connector can be seen in Table 3-5. Table 3-5 UART/LIN D-Sub layout Male D-SUB, Function 9pin RS-232 TxD RS-232 RxD or GND +12 V Figure 1 UART/LIN D-Sub connector R20UT0883ED0100 Rev.
The signal layout of the female D-Sub connectors can be seen in the below table. Table 3-6 CAN D-Sub connectors Female D-SUB, Function 9pin CANL CANH Table 3-7 shows the hard-wired interconnection between the V850E2/Px4 and the CAN transceivers. Table 3-7 CAN transceiver connection Channel Function Transceiver PJ4 pin (port)
VCC15. Note Bus Driver control signals (i.e. EN, STBN etc.) are also directly connected to the V850E2/Px4 port pins. For further information, please take a look into the schematics. Note The two FlexRay channel names FRA and FRB are written as FR0 and FR1 in the schematics.
Chapter 3 Communication 3.4 CSI interface The mounted CSI (SPI) interface provides access to two instances of each kind of CSI (CSIG and CSIH) and four chip select signals. Figure 2 CSI 20-pin interface Note The chip select signals of the two CSIH instances are multiplexed to the same port, so CSIH1CSx means also chip select signal for CSIH0.
Figure 3-2 shows a proposal of possible pin function configuration for a motor control application and it shows the shared onboard functions. Figure 3 Motor control 40 pin interface The outputs of the mounted V850E2/Px4 are multiplex with different functions. Note This port configuration is only a proposal. R20UT0883ED0100 Rev. 1.00...
