Create a partition on a micro SD-card
Note that you'd better use 8GB SD-card at least. For example, if the micro SD-card is /dev/sdg: Type the commands where you got “Command(m for help):” as below.

$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdg Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.27.1). Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. Be careful before using the write command. Command (m for help): o Created a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x96e5850d. Command (m for help): n Partition type p primary (0 primary, 0 extended, 4 free) e extended (container for logical partitions) Select (default p): Using default response p. Partition number (1-4, default 1): First sector (2048-31291391, default 2048): Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G,T,P} (2048-31291391, default 31291391): Created a new partition 1 of type 'Linux' and of size 14,9 GiB. Command (m for help): w The partition table has been altered. Calling ioctl to

Format the micro SD-card
Initialize the ext4 partition using “mke2fs”; for example, if the micro SD-card is associated with /dev/sdg1: Confirm whether the command is success or not. If you get “done” like following, the command is successful.

$ sudo mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/sdg1 --snip-- Allocating group tables: done Writing inode tables: done Creating journal (32768 blocks): done Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

Extract Emotion Engine SDK
export directory path of micro SD-card

$ SDCARD=

mount your SD to your rootfs

$ mount /dev/sdg1 $SDCARD

remove all data in SDCARD

$ sudo rm -rf ${SDCARD:-bad_dir}/*

Extract the file to $SDCARD

Please download the SDK Image from here: https://www.renesas.com/us/en/solutions/automotive/rcar-download/connected-sdk.html

$ sudo tar xf emotion-sdk-h3ulcb-agl-5.0.3-chromium-m67.tar.xz -C $SDCARD;sync $ sudo tar xf emotion-sdk-m3ulcb-agl-5.0.3-chromium-m67.tar.xz -C $SDCARD;sync

Write IPL to Target
Please download the IPL:

See below to write IPL. https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/H3SK#Flashing_firmware https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/M3SK#Flashing_firmware

Setting U-boot parameters

 * 1) Insert the micro SD-card to the target board. And Boot up.
 * 2) Stop auto boot hitting any key.
 * 3) set u-boot environment variable.

 * 1) systemctl status emotion
 * 1) systemctl stop emotion
 * 1) systemctl start emotion
 * 1) systemctl restart emotion
 * 1) systemctl disable emotion
 * 1) systemctl enable emotion
 * 1) journalctl -xe

Audio volume control
ex.)In case of setting DVC Out 10%.
 * 1) amixer set -Dhw:0 "DVC Out" 10%
 * 2) alsactl store
