MCK‐RA8T1 Sample and Demo hardware configuration - renesas/zephyr GitHub Wiki

Followings are hardware connection and test samples for MCK-RA8T1, for more detail on 1st setup hardware connection, please visit MCK-RA8T1 - Quick Start Guide and MCK-RA8T1 - User's Manual

Default HW configuration

Use Debug On-Board mode: MCK-RA8T1 board require to configure the jumper for serial communication with host.

Jumper configuration:

Jumper Configurations
JP6 Open

Hardware connection for UART samples

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

    • Hardware configuration: No additional connection.

    • Build command:

      west build -p always -b mck_ra8t1 samples/drivers/uart/echo_bot/

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

    • Hardware configuration: No additional connection.

      RXD4_C P715 Loopback to RXD4_C pin

    • Build command:

      west build -p always -b mck_ra8t1 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/mck_ra8t1.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/mck_ra8t1.overlay

     spibb0: &spi0 {
   		rx-dtc;
   		tx-dtc;
   		pinctrl-0 = <&spi0_default>;
   		pinctrl-names = "default";
   		cs-gpios = <&ioport4 13 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; // dummy config
   		status = "okay";
   	};

 &ioport4 {
   		status = "okay";
 };
