Environment

/media/uploads/RyoheiHagimoto/e2studio-jlink-component.png
You need following components:

  • GR-PEACH
  • USB micro-B cable
  • J-Link series
  • J-Link 9-pin Cortex-M Adapter or equivalent
  • Cortex 9-pin header (1.25mm pitch 2x5)

If you do not have them, goto Exporting to e2studio (CMSIS-DAP debug).

Setup

Mount Cortex 9-pin header to GR-PEACH

Mount Cortex 9-pin header to "JTAG" of GR-PEACH.
Note: 7th pin is not used (without header).

Install Windows serial driver

Install latest Windows Serial Port Driver to setup CMSIS-DAP from the link below:
https://mbed.org/handbook/Windows-serial-configuration

Install e2studio

Download e2studio 5.0.0 or lator, and install

Build of e2studio environment

  5. Expand zip file.

import project to e2studio

  1. Launch e2studio.
  2. Specify workspace directory. Workspace directory must be placed in the upper directory of the directory that includes .project file.
    In this document, project file is placed in C:\WorkSpace\GR-PEACH_blinky_e2studio_rz_a1h\GR-PEACH_blinky, and the workspace is placed in C:\WorkSpace\GR-PEACH_blinky_e2studio_rz_a1h.

  2. Select the [Window] menu -> [Show View] -> [Project Explorer].
  3. Select the project to build.
  4. Click build icon. /media/uploads/RyoheiHagimoto/e2studio-build.png

  e.g.) The folder structure when making the work folder "C:\Workspase". Export project is GR-PEACH_blinky.
    C:
    +-- Workspace
        +-- GR-PEACH_blinky_e2studio_rz_a1h
            +-- .metadata
            +-- GR-PEACH_blinky
                |   .cproject
                |   .gdbinit
                |   .hgignore
                |   .project

                |   mbed.bld
                |   SoftPWM.lib
                +-- .hg
                +-- .settings
                +-- Debug <- When clicking [Build Project], ".bin" and ".elf" file will be created here.
                +-- mbed
                +-- SoftPWM


Troubleshooting!

There is a problem with Exporter currently, the compile can not success if you export with e2 studio. However, you can avoid build errors by doing the following procedure.

  1. Right-click on the project name and select "Property".
  2. Select "C / C ++ Build" - "Settings".
  3. Select "Tool Settings" tab.
  4. Select "ARM C++ Compiler" - "Includes".
  5. Add ""${workspace_loc:/${ProjName}/mbed_config.h}"" to the "Pre-include" column.
  6. Press "OK" button at the bottom of "Property".


The way to debug

  1. Connect your PC and GR-PEACH via J-Link.
  2. Turn on GR-PEACH (by connecting USB cable).
  3. Select project to debug.
  4. From menu in C/C++ perspective or DS-5 debug perspective , select [Run] [Debug Configurations...]
  5. Select [Renesas GDB Hardware Debugging]<i>
  6. Click <New> icon <ii>
  7. Confirm a new configuration of your project has been generated.<iii>
  8. Click Debugger tab.<iv>
  9. Select [J-Link ARM] of [Debug hardware]. <v>
  10. Select [...] - [RZ] - [RZ/A1] - [R7S721001] of [Target Device]. <vi>
  11. Click [Startup] tab. <vii>
