Overview

The Renesas Starter Kit for RX130-512KB is the perfect starter kit for developers who are new to the RX130 (Program Flash 512KB, Pin Count 100-pin), which operates at up to 32 MHz and is based on the RXv1 core architecture, making it suitable for various embedded applications

MCU Native Pin Access

The RSKRX130-512KB includes:

  • 32-MHz, 32-bit RX MCUs in 100 pins LFQFP package, Micon Pin Headers
  • Direct MCU pin access through standard headers for easy peripheral integration
  • Internal high-speed oscillator and low-speed on-chip oscillators
  • Three low power consumption modes

System Control and Debugging

  • USB Full-Speed Device (mini-B connector) for communication and power

  • Power source options:

    • USB-powered (debug port)
    • External power supply via standard input

  • Debugging support:

    • Via Jlink debugger with RX adapter boards.

  • User LEDs and buttons:

    • Four User LEDs (red x2, yellow, green)
    • Power LED (green) indicating availability of regulated power
    • One Reset button, three User buttons

  • Ecosystems expansions:

    • Two Digilent Pmod (LCD and Spare) connectors
    • 2Kbit I2C EEPROM

Special Feature Access

  • IEC60730 compliance
  • Capacitive touch sensing unit
  • LCD drive capability for displaying data or status in real-time applications

Hardware

Supported Features

.. zephyr:board-supported-hw::

Programming and Debugging

.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

Applications for the rsk_rx130@512kb board target can be built, flashed, and debugged in the usual way. See :ref:build_an_application and :ref:application_run for more details on building and running.

Flashing

Program can be flashed to RSKRX130-512KB using Jlink with RX adapter boards, by connecting the board's debug connector port to the host PC. Here's an example for building and flashing the :zephyr:code-sample:hello_world application.

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :board: rsk_rx130@512kb :goals: build flash

Debugging

You can use Renesas Debug extension_ on Visual Studio code for a visual debug interface. The configuration for launch.json is as below.
