MCK‐RA8T1 Sample and Demo hardware configuration

Followings are hardware connection and test samples for MCK-RA8T1, for more detail on 1st setup hardware connection, please visit MCK-RA8T1 - Quick Start Guide and MCK-RA8T1 - User's Manual

Default HW configuration

Use Debug On-Board mode: MCK-RA8T1 board require to configure the jumper for serial communication with host.

Jumper configuration:

Jumper	Configurations
JP6	Open

Hardware connection for UART samples

• echo_bot (samples/drivers/uart/echo_bot):

  • Hardware configuration: No additional connection.

  • Build command:

    west build -p always -b mck_ra8t1 samples/drivers/uart/echo_bot/
    

• zTest uart_basic_api (tests/drivers/uart/uart_basic_api):

  • Hardware configuration: No additional connection.

  • Build command:

    west build -p always -b mck_ra8t1 tests/drivers/uart/uart_basic_api/
    

• zTest uart_async_api (tests/drivers/uart/uart_async_api):

  • Hardware configuration: Loopback for TXD and RXD

    Board	Channel	Pin function	Pin	Connect to
    MCK-RA8T1	SCI4	TXD4_C	P714	Loopback to RXD4_C pin
    		RXD4_C	P715	Loopback to RXD4_C pin

  • Build command:

    west build -p always -b mck_ra8t1 tests/drivers/uart/uart_async_api/
    

Hardware connection for SPI samples

• spi_bitbang (samples/drivers/spi_bitbang): Loopback for MISO and MOSI

• Note: The purpose of testing sample spi_bitbang on RA boards is to provide users with an understanding of the RA SPI driver. To test this sample using the SPI hardware IP, you can configure it by adding the overlay and configuration files with the following content:

  samples/drivers/spi_bitbang/boards/mck_ra8t1.conf

  CONFIG_STDOUT_CONSOLE=y
  CONFIG_SPI=y
  CONFIG_SPI_B_INTERRUPT=y
  CONFIG_SPI_B_RA_DTC=y
  CONFIG_LOG=y
  CONFIG_SPI_BITBANG=n
  

  • Note: We have to disable the CONFIG_SPI_BITBANG since we use SPI hardware IP to test spi_bitbang.

    samples/drivers/spi_bitbang/boards/mck_ra8t1.overlay

   spibb0: &spi0 {
     		rx-dtc;
     		tx-dtc;
     		pinctrl-0 = <&spi0_default>;
     		pinctrl-names = "default";
     		cs-gpios = <&ioport4 13 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; // dummy config
     		status = "okay";
     	};
  
   &ioport4 {
     		status = "okay";
   };
