Renesas Starter Kit+ for RZ/N2L

RZ/N2L is an Ethernet communication microprocessor (MPU) that enables customers to easily implement industrial Ethernet and TSN in various IoT and industrial applications like drives, gateways, remote IO and more. RZ/N2L has functions such as an advanced 3-port Gigabit Ethernet switch with TSN, EtherCAT® slave controller, and supports major industrial Ethernet protocols such as EtherCAT.

RZ/N2L is optimized for network companion chip. It easily connects to existing systems through its parallel or serial host interface without requirement of major changes. The real-time protocol is managed by its Arm® Cortex®-R52 core with a maximum operating frequency of 400MHz and large on-chip RAM with ECC, unloading the application CPU. Thanks to its rich peripheral functions such as PWM timer, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) interface, ADC, and more the device also realizes applications like remote I/O, sensor-hub systems, inverter and gateway as a single chip.

Renesas Starter Kit+ for RZ/N2L is for evaluation or development using RZ/N2L MPU. With on-board emulator, you can start evaluation by connecting the bundled cable with your PC. This product has rich functional ICs such as Gigabit Ethernet PHY and Octal Flash, you can fully evaluate functions.

Features

• On-board RZ/N2L MPU 225-pin (R9A07G084M04GBG)
• Rich functional ICs such as Gigabit Ethernet PHY and Octal Flash are mounted, so functions of target MPU can be fully evaluated
• Generic interfaces such as Pmod™/Grove®/Qwiic®/mikroBUS™
• Pin headers for external extension enable you to evaluate many use cases
• Emulator circuit is mounted, and program debugging can be started by simply connecting USB cable to PC (two USB cables are included, one for emulator and the other for power supply)
• Renesas IDE e² studio and Flexible Software Package (FSP) for RZ/N2L are available
