RZA3M‐EK Sample and Demo hardware configuration

Followings are hardware connection and test samples for RZ/A3M-EK, for more detail on 1st setup hardware connection, please visit EK-RZ/A3M v1 User's Manual and RZ/A Getting Started with Flexible Software Package

Default HW configuration

HW	Configurations	Remark
SW5[1:5]	OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF	Boot from 3.3V QSPI NOR flash
SW4-5	OFF	NOR Flash Selected

Board set-up

EK-RZ/A3M uses Initial Program Loader (IPL) to perform initial settings and copy the Zephyr image from flash to DDR SRAM for execution. It only needs to be written to flash at least once before running Zephyr. Follow "3. Set Up a Target Board" and "4. Tutorial: Your First RZ MPU Project - Blinky" of RZ/A Getting Started with Flexible Software Package to set up the board and write the first blinky project, the IPL rza3m_ek_nor_ipl.srec will be downloaded at debug step.
