Hardware connection for UART samples

  • echo_bot (samples/drivers/uart/echo_bot):

    • Hardware configuration: No additional connection.

    • Build command:

      west build -p always -b ek_ra4w1 samples/drivers/uart/echo_bot/

  • zTest uart_basic_api (tests/drivers/uart/uart_basic_api):

    • Hardware configuration: No additional connection.

    • Build command:

      west build -p always -b ek_ra4w1 tests/drivers/uart/uart_basic_api/

  • zTest uart_async_api (tests/drivers/uart/uart_async_api):

  • Hardware configuration: Loopback for TXD and RXD

    Board Channel Pin function Pin Connect to
    EK-RA4W1 SCI1 TXD1 P213 Loopback to RXD1 pin
    RXD1 P212 Loopback to RXD1 pin

    • Build command:

      west build -p always -b ek_ra4w1 tests/drivers/uart/uart_async_api/

Hardware connection for SPI samples

  • spi_bitbang (samples/drivers/spi_bitbang): Loopback for MISO and MOSI

  • Note: The purpose of testing sample spi_bitbang on RA boards is to provide users with an understanding of the RA SPI driver. To test this sample using the SPI hardware IP, you can configure it by adding the overlay and configuration files with the following content:

    samples/drivers/spi_bitbang/boards/ek_ra4w1.conf

    CONFIG_STDOUT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_SPI=y
CONFIG_SPI_B_INTERRUPT=y
CONFIG_SPI_B_RA_DTC=y
CONFIG_LOG=y
CONFIG_SPI_BITBANG=n

    • Note: We have to disable the CONFIG_SPI_BITBANG since we use SPI hardware IP to test spi_bitbang.

      samples/drivers/spi_bitbang/boards/ek_ra4w1.overlay

     spibb0: &spi1 {
   		rx-dtc;
   		tx-dtc;
   		pinctrl-0 = <&spi1_default>;
   		pinctrl-names = "default";
   		cs-gpios = <&ioport4 13 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; // dummy config
   		status = "okay";
   	};

 &ioport4 {
   		status = "okay";
 };
