: This Quick Start Guide covers version 3.0 of the DK-S7G2 Development Kit.
Prerequisites
Required software and tools
• Minimum PC Requirements: Microsoft® Windows® 7 with Intel® Core™ family processor running at 2.0 GHz or higher (or equivalent processor), 8 GB memory, 250 GB hard disk or SSD, USB 2.0, Connection to the Internet
• e 2 studio Integrated Solution Development Environment (ISDE) from Renesas
• Renesas Synergy TM
Software Package (SSP)
Installation
Tools are available for download at: https://synergygallery.renesas.com
NOTE:
Version numbers of the tools may change. Below we show the versions that were available when this document was developed.
1) Download and install the latest revision of the Development Tool - e
2 studio (ISDE) following the below instructions:
(NOTE: Unless informed otherwise below, use the default options.) a) You must select at least the Renesas Synergy™ Family when the below dialog box appears.

2) Download and install the latest revision of the Synergy Software Package using the default options.
Connecting the board components
1) Set the JTAG DIP switch 6 on S5 to ON (toward the LEDs).
2) Verify all of the S101 DIP switches on the Breakout Board are set to OFF.
3) Using the power supply provided with the DK-S7G2 kit, apply power through the 5V barrel connector (J1) on the Main Board. LED3 will turn on Green with a flashing-Red below it. The solid-Green/flashing-Red LED3 informs the user that the kit cannot communicate with the PC on the debug port.

4) Connect the USB cable provided with the DK-S7G2 J-Link OB (J17) on the Main Board.
5) Connect the other end of the USB cable to a USB port of the PC. Now LED3 will turn solid-Green, indicating a good connection.
Out-of-Box Demo
1) During initialization, the S7G2 will turn Red and Green the LEDs that it can control and it will turn on and off the Red
LEDs inside the Ethernet connectors so you can verify those work. At the end of initialization, LED1 and LED2 are off while the Configuration LEDs, LED6 to LED12 will be green.
2) A splash screen will be displayed on the LCD showing a date and time.

Running Blinky
The Blinky Project is included in the SSP. To run the Blinky Project, you must first create a Renesas Synergy Project in the e
2 studio ISDE; you can then debug and run the project on the DK-S7G2.
Creating the Blinky Project
To create a project:
1) Start the e
2 studio ISDE. Click <e2 Studio> under Windows Start Menu -> Renesas Electronics e2studio -> e2 studio
NOTES: a) The e
2 studio ISDE confirms the installed tool chain(s) the first time it is started after installing the toolchains. b) If the e
2 studio ISDE displays the Welcome to e
2
studio screen, review and click the [X] (it will not be
displayed again).
c) If you do not have a compatible tool chain installed, see section Prerequisites .
2) If the Workspace Launcher Dialog box is displayed, click <OK>.
NOTE: Until you select “Use this as the default (workspace) and do not ask again”, the Workspace Launch window will be displayed when
e
2 studio is started.

4) Enter “Blinky_DK_S7G2” as the Project name.
5) The first time you configure a project you need to load a license file. Click on the browse icon of the License
File and if needed browse to C:\Renesas\e2_studio\internal\projectgen\arm\Licenses\ (if you installed to the default locations).
NOTE: After you have loaded the license file it will be loaded and displayed in License window by default.
6) Click Next.
The ISDE displays the Project Configuration (Synergy Project) window with the Device Selection options.
7) Select S7G2 DK and leave all other options in this window at their default settings.
