Overview
The Yocto Project is an open source collaboration project that helps developers create custom Linux-based systems for embedded products, regardless of the hardware architecture.
This article show how to build Yocto Image for RNX-RZG2UL-OSM CPU module using:
| Yocto | Linux Kernel | U-BOOT |
|---|---|---|
| Poky | 5.10.184 | 2021.10 |
Installing required packages
Please make sure your host PC is running Ubuntu 20.04+ 64-bit and install the following packages:
$ sudo apt-get install gawk wget git diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib \ build-essential chrpath socat cpio python3 python3-pip python3-pexpect \ xz-utils debianutils iputils-ping libsdl1.2-dev xterm $ sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool libglib2.0-dev libarchive-dev python-git-doc \ sed cvs subversion coreutils texi2html docbook-utils \ help2man make gcc g++ desktop-file-utils libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev \ mercurial automake groff curl lzop asciidoc u-boot-tools dos2unix mtd-utils pv \ libncurses5 libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev libelf-dev zlib1g-dev bmap-tools
More details about the Yocto Environment Setup can be found on the Yocto official site
Download Yocto based on Renesas Verified Linux Package
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name" $ git config --global user.email "Your Email"
$ mkdir ~/yocto-renesas $ cd ~/yocto-renesas
- Download the Renesas Verified Linux Package
$ git clone https://github.com/ronetix/rzg_vlp.git $ cd rzg_vlp
Setup and build Yocto
$ TEMPLATECONF=$PWD/meta-renesas/meta-rzg2l/docs/template/conf/ source poky/oe-init-build-env build $ MACHINE=rnx-rzg2ul-osm bitbake core-image-bsp
Build Results
The resulted images are located in tmp/deploy/images/rnx-rzg2ul-osm
Programming images
The bootloaders (BL2, BL3 and U-BOOT) and the Linux Kernel can be programmed on the QSPI Flash or on the eMMC.
The RoorFS can be programmed on the eMMC or on a SD card (J41 on the carrier board).
More information can be found in "r01us0616ej0100-rz-g(Linux Start-up Guide RZG2L,LC,UL).pdf" which is part of
the Renesas RZG Verified Linux Package:
or
Serial terminal connection
A serial terminal connection through USB to UART bridge is required. On the carrier board, set the boot mode to "SCIF Download mode".
| J31, pin 1-2 | J31, pin 3-4 | |
|---|---|---|
| SCIF Download mode | close | open |
| QSPI Boot mode | open | close |
| eMMC Boot mode | close | close |
- Connect a USB Type-microAB cable to J3 (UART DBG).
- Start a terminal app (for example minicom) and configure to use the second FTDI port.
- After power up, the CPU reports:
(C) Renesas Electronics Corp. -- Load Program to System RAM --------------- please send !
Programming Bootloaders and Linux Kernel on the QSPI Flash
Download Flash Writer to RAM
In minicom, press Ctrl-A S and then select "ascii" upload protocol.
Select the file tmp/deploy/images/rnx-rzg2ul-osm/Flash_Writer_SCIF_RZG2UL_SMARC_DDR4_1GB_1PCS.mot
After successfully downloading the binary, Flash Writer starts automatically and shows a message
like below on the terminal.
DDR init done.

Pass!
Flash writer for RZ/G2 Series V1.06 Aug.10,2022
Product Code : RZ/G2UL Type1
>
Programming Bootloaders
For the boot operation, two bootloader files need to be written to the target board:
- tmp/deploy/images/rnx-rzg2ul-osm/bl2_bp-rnx-rzg2ul-osm.srec (BL2 bootloader + boot parameters)
- tmp/deploy/images/rnx-rzg2ul-osm/fip-rnx-rzg2ul-osm.srec (BL3 + U-BOOT)
“XLS2” command of Flash Writer is used to write bootloader binary files. This command receives binary data from the serial port and writes the data to a specified address of the Flash ROM with information where the data should be loaded on the address of the main memory.
>xls2 ===== Qspi writing of RZ/G2 Board Command ============= Load Program to Spiflash Writes to any of SPI address. Dialog : AT25QL128A Program Top Address & Qspi Save Address ===== Please Input Program Top Address ============ Please Input : H'11E00

- Send the data of bl2_bp-rnx-rzg2ul-osm.srec from terminal software after the message “please send !” is shown.
After successfully download the binary, messages like below are shown on the terminal.
OK SAVE SPI-FLASH....... ======= Qspi Save Information ================= SpiFlashMemory Stat Address : H'00000000 SpiFlashMemory End Address : H'0000CA38 ===========================================================
Next, write another loader file by using XLS2 command again.

Write Linux Kernel and RootFS to a uSD card
The simplest way to write Linux Kernel and RootFS is using the bmaptool:
$ sudo bmaptool copy tmp/deploy/images/rnx-rzg2ul-osm/core-image-bsp-rnx-rzg2ul-osm.wic.gz /dev/sdX
- Select QSPI Boot mode and reset the board:
