SW Setup

Prepare SD card

1. Insert SD card to Host PC
2. Install Win32 Disk Imager and 7-Zip
3. Extract core-image-weston-release-h3ulcb.wic.xz using 7-Zip

   note: If you use R-Car Starter Kit Pro(M3), please use core-image-weston-release-m3ulcb.wic.xz

4. Flash .wic file to SD card using Win32 Disk Imager.
5. Open drive which name is 'data' using windows explorer.
6. Copy gfx_mp.tar.bz2 to 'data' drive.

Flashing IPL(Firmware)

1. Install Teraterm
2. Power off the Boards
3. Connect Host PC and the Board with Micro-USB cable.
4. Open Teraterm.

   Configure serial port

   Open "Serial port" which is located in "Setup" menu, and configure such as following:

   Port: COMx can be checked using Windows Device Manager.
   Baud rate: 115200
   Data: 8bit
   Parity: none
   Stop: 1bit
   Flow control: none
   

   Power on the board and interrupt autoboot on U-boot by pressing any key.

   If interrupting autoboot is succeeded, "=>" is shown in minicom.

5. Open "Macro" which is located in "Control" menu.

   select "binary\ipl\renesas-bsp-rom-writer\starterkit\windows\rom_writer.ttl"

6. Follow the instruction shown in console.

   Select Full Auto, then click "OK"

   Select SoC which is equipped on your board, then click "OK".

   Select Yocto version(v5.1.0), then click "OK"

   Select binary/ipl folder, then click OK.

   Click Yes.

   Please wait that writing U-boot is done.

Booting Yocto

1. power off the board
2. Insert Micro SD card to the board
3. Power on the board and interrupt autoboot on U-boot by pressing any key.
4. Execute following command for set up U-boot:

   setenv ethaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
   setenv bootargs 'rw root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 rootwait'
   setenv dtb 'r8a77951-ulcb-ccpf-sk.dtb'
   setenv load_kernel_sd 'ext2load mmc 0:1 0x48080000 /boot/Image'
   setenv load_dtb_sd 'ext2load mmc 0:1 0x48000000 /boot/${dtb}'
   setenv bootcmd 'run load_kernel_sd; run load_dtb_sd; booti 0x48080000 - 0x48000000'
   saveenv
   

   Note:

   Input your board's mac address instead of "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ".

   dtb is changed by Starter Kit version. Please refer to following table.

   Please refer to the following page to check your Starter kit version:

   • https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/H3SK#Hardware
   • https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/M3SK#Hardware

5. Execute "reset" command on U-boot to reset the board
6. Yocto will be booted automatically

   Note:

   The board reboots automatically for the first booting Yocto.

   This is caused by installing GFX/MMP package.

   After the second boot, automatic reboot is not occurred.

Combination of the board and dtb file

R-Car Starter Kit	dtb file
Premier(H3) v2.0/v3.0	r8a77951-ulcb-ccpf-sk.dtb
Pro(M3) v1.0	r8a77960-ulcb-ccpf-sk.dtb
Pro(M3) v3.0	r8a77961-ulcb-ccpf-sk.dtb

U-boot doesn't boot.

• Please check the Dip switch(SW1=ON, SW6=All ON) on R-Car Starter Kit(Not CCPF-SK board).

• https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/M3SK#Flashing_firmware

• If U-Boot doesn't boot in spite that SW1/SW6 is correct, please flash the IPL(firmware) again.

• If U-Boot doesn't boot after following above instruction, the board may be broken.

So please try other board.
