R30AN0244EU0107
Rev.1.07
Sep 27, 2017
Introduction
This application note describes how to install, build, and run a simple web server application on a Renesas Synergy development board using the Renesas e
2
studio or IAR Embedded Workbench
®
for Renesas Synergy™ (IAR EW for
Synergy) Integrated Solutions Development Environment (ISDE), the Synergy Software Package (SSP), and the
Express Logic NetX network stack.
The example application supports IPv4. Using your PC, you can view the web server application running on your board in a browser and watch the application run by observing variables being updated when you refresh the browser window.
Prerequisites
As the user of this application note, it is assumed that you have some experience with the Renesas e
2
studio ISDE, IAR
EW for Synergy and SSP. For example, before you perform the procedure in this application note, you should follow the procedure in the Quick Start Guide for your board to build and run the Blinky project. By doing so, you will become familiar with e
2
studio and SSP, and ensure that the debug connection to your board is functioning properly.
Required Resources
This application example targets Renesas Synergy S7G2/S5D9 devices. To build and run the example, you need:
• One of the following Renesas Synergy boards:
DK-S7G2 v2.0 or later
SK-S7G2 v2.0 or later
PE-HMI1 v2.0
PK-S5D9 v1.0 or later.
• A PC running Microsoft
®
Windows
®
7, with a USB 2.0 port and connection to the Internet, and the following
Renesas software installed:
e
2
studio ISDE v5.4.0.023 or later
SSP v1.2.0 or later
IAR EW for Synergy v7.71.2 or later
SSC v5.4.0.023 or later.
You can download the required Renesas software from the Renesas Synergy Gallery at https://synergygallery.renesas.com
.
Time Required
You can install, build, and run the example application in under 30 minutes. The key steps require you to:
1. Connect to your target board.
2. Select an IP address for the board.
3. Import, configure, and build the project.
4. Run the NetX Duo™ web server demonstration.

1. Connecting to the Board
To configure and connect your target board:
1. Follow the procedure in the Quick Start Guide for your target board to set up the SEGGER J-Link
®
debugger connection from your PC to the JTAG connector on the target board and power up the board.
Note: On the DK-S7G2 board, set DIP switch 3 (ENET1) on S5 to ON. Use the Main Board Ethernet 1 port only. For other boards, there is no need to have any DIP switch settings.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the target board.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the PC through a switch, crossover cable, or straight through to the PC using an Auto MDI-X capable port.
2. Selecting an IP Address for the Board
Use Figure 1 and Figure 2 to configure the static IP address for the Ethernet port of your PC.
In this example, the IP address for the PC is configured as 192.168.0.200.

3. Importing, Configuring, and Building the Project
Before you can run the example application, you must change the default IP addresses for the application in the ISDE configurator to IP addresses that are appropriate for your network and PC. The following steps describe how to import, configure, change the default IP address in the application to an IP address appropriate for your network, and then build the project:
1. Follow the procedure in the Importing a Renesas Synergy Project (r11an0023eu0117_synergy_ssp.pdf) to import the project into the e
2
studio ISDE. Do not build the project.
2. Open the configuration.xml for the project, select the Threads tab, and choose HTTP Server Thread.
3. Click the g_ip0, NetX IP instance, on the Properties window, and change the IPv4 address to the one selected in
section 2, step 3 (for example, 192.168.0.2).
Note: The IPv4 address may vary depending on your network settings.
4. Follow the procedure in, Importing a Renesas Synergy Project (r11an0023eu0117_synergy_ssp.pdf), to build and debug the project. When prompted to select the debug configuration, select NETX_Webserver_V120_XX_XXXX
Debug in Renesas GDB Hardware Debugging.
4. Running the Example Application
To run the application on your Synergy board, insert the USB drive into the USB connector (USB mass storage) as
shown in Figure 5 (DK-S7G2), Figure 6 (PE-HMI1), or Figure 7 (SK-S7G2 or PK-S5D9).
Figure 5 USB Drive and Ethernet Connection for DK-S7G2 Board
Note: On the DK-S7G2 board, set DIP switch 3 (ENET1) on S5 to ON. Use the Main Board Ethernet 1 port only. For other boards, there is no need to have any DIP switch settings.

If you have properly configured, built, and ran the application, you should see the orange light constantly illuminated on
the board near the Ethernet connector. A flashing green light on the same connector indicates data traffic. Figure 8
shows the orange and green Ethernet status LEDs on the DK-S7G2 board. The other kits function the same way.

To run the example web server application:
1. In a Command Prompt window on your PC, enter the ping command with the IP address that you specified for the board (for example, 192.168.0.2). In the following example, the ping result for the board address is shown in
Figure 9. If the connectivity and configurations are properly set up, you will see the ping working.
