====== HopeRun HiHope RZ/G2M ======
The HiHope RZ/G2M (hihope-rzg2m) is manufactured by Jiangsu HopeRun Software Co., Ltd. and uses the Renesas RZ/G2M SoC. More information about the platform can be found on the [[https://www.devestimator.com/hihope/product/hihope-rz-g2m/|HiHope RZ/G2M product page]].
{{:civilinfrastructureplatform:ciptesting:cipreferencehardware:hihope-rzg2m.jpg?400 |}}
The HiHope RZ/G2M platform consists of three parts:\\
1) Renesas RZ/G2M (r8a774a1) SoC\\
2) HopeRun HiHope RZ/G2M platform\\
3) HopeRun expansion board for HiHope RZ/G2 platforms (optional)
From [[https://www.devestimator.com/hihope/product/hihope-rz-g2m/|HopeRun:]]
> The HiHope RZ/G2M microprocessor (MPU) features a 64-bit multi-core architecture with advanced graphics capabilities and a high-bandwidth memory interface to support systems with enhanced human-machine interfaces.
More information about the Renesas RZ/G2M SoC can be found on the [[http://renesas.com/rzg2|Renesas website]].
===== Building for the hihope-rzg2m Platform =====
Instructions on building the CIP SLTS Linux Kernel, the Renesas Yocto BSP and the Renesas SDK for the hihope-rzg2m platform can be found [[civilinfrastructureplatform:ciptesting:cipreferencehardware:hihope-rzg2m:hihope-rzg2mbuildinstructions|here]].
===== Using the hihope-rzg2m Platform =====
This section provides information on using this reference platform.
The instructions assume that you are using the optional expansion board. If you are not, please use change the device tree you use accordingly:
^Device Tree Blob ^Platform Makeup ^
|r8a774a1-hihope-rzg2m.dtb |r8a774a1\\ hihope-rzg2m |
|r8a774a1-hihope-rzg2m-ex.dtb |r8a774a1\\ hihope-rzg2m\\ hihope-rzg2-ex |
==== Switch Settings ====
On the hihope-rzg2m there are three sets of switches - SW1001, SW1002 and SW1003 (BOOT CONFIG SW).
Switch positions for SPI Flash boot are as follows:
^SW Bits^SW1001 ^SW1002 ^SW1003 ^
^1 |OFF |ON |OFF |
^2 |ON |ON |ON |
^3 |ON |ON |ON |
^4 |ON |ON |ON |
^5 |ON |ON |ON |
^6 |ON |OFF |ON |
^7 |ON |ON |ON |
^8 |ON |ON |ON |
Switch positions for SCIF download are as follows:
^SW Bits^SW1001 ^SW1002 ^SW1003 ^
^1 |OFF |ON |OFF |
^2 |ON |ON |ON |
^3 |ON |ON |ON |
^4 |ON |ON |ON |
^5 |ON |OFF |ON |
^6 |ON |OFF |ON |
^7 |ON |OFF |ON |
^8 |ON |OFF |ON |
==== Connect to the board ====
{{:civilinfrastructureplatform:ciptesting:cipreferencehardware:hihope-rzg2m_connections.png?400|}}
=== Power Supply ===
Use the 12V power supply ?which has a 1.65 mm center pin positive jack and connect it to J2401 (POWER JACK).
hihope-rzg2m is 96boads CE specification compatible and you can find suitable power supply or plug converter [[https://?www.96boards.org/?product/?power/?|96boards Power Accessories]].
=== Serial Console ===
Use a microUSB cable to connect the host PC to the hihope-rzg2m, using CN2201 (DEBUG PORT). It is routed to SCIF2 on the RZ/G2M via UART to USB convertor CP2102.
Virtual COM port (VCP) Windows drivers are available from the [[https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers|Silicon Labs website]]. Unless using a very old Linux distribution, CP210x should be supported.
Serial settings:\\
- Baud rate: 115200\\
- Data: 8 bit\\
- Parity: None\\
- Stop: 1 bit\\
- Flow control: None
Any standard terminal emulator program can be used.
=== Notes ===
J8 (SATA connector) on the expansion board is not supported on hihope-rzg2m because of RZ/G2M specification. This is reserved for other SoC.
==== Flashing the loader and U-Boot ====
If the SPI flash memory on hihope-rzg2m platform is blank, flash the loader and U-Boot.
=== Required images ===
Following images in S-record format are required. How to build them are [[civilinfrastructureplatform:ciptesting:cipreferencehardware:hihope-rzg2m:hihope-rzg2mbuildinstructions|here]].
* images
* bootparam_sa0.srec
* bl2-hihope-rzg2m.srec
* cert_header_sa6.srec
* bl31-hihope-rzg2m.srec
* u-boot-elf-hihope-rzg2m.srec
* the RZ/G2 flash writer
* AArch64_Flash_writer_SCIF_DUMMY_CERT_E6300400_hihope.mot
=== How to writer the images with the RZ/G2 flash writer ===
Set BOOT CONFIG SW (SW1001, SW1002 and SW1003) to SCIF download positions and flip SW2402 (next to DC Jack) to the 'ON' position (1-pin side, outside of the board). The following output should be seen on the debug serial console:
SCIF Download mode (w/o verification)

please send !
Transfer S-record file after the log output.
S-record file:
- AArch64_Flash_writer_SCIF_DUMMY_CERT_E6300400_hihope.mot
After the transfer has suceeded, the following log will be shown.
