The emtrion SBC is a platform based on the Renesas RZN1D cpu. It consists of a CM3 core and a A7 core. For the CM3 core a firmware containing PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT stack is available. Ethernet ports J8 and J9 are exclusively used by the CM3 core. Ethernet ports J1 and J2 are exclusively used by linux.

Features

  • features on par with port’s SoM module, while providing better performance due to parallel connection between host CPU (A7/Linux) and CM3 core

  • full featured embedded linux system with additional communication core (SoM like)

  • PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT support

Limitations

The currently delivered CM3 firmware has following restrictions:

  • firmware update functionality from A7 or over Ethernet (HTTP, EtherCAT) not implemented, required to do using u-boot

  • Exception Log not supported

  • CM3 reset not possible, a restart of the A7 application requires reboot of the whole system

Required resources

  • Emtrion SBC

  • 24 V power adapter

  • USB Serial converter

  • Network cables

  • a ARM (arm-none-eabi) gcc compiler (e.g. version 9.2.1 20191025)

  • optionally the Emtrion SBC SDK: https://cloud.emtrion.de/index.php/s/Fd7XWdmjZrBlOhI

  • Emtrion hardware documentation (SBC-RZN1D-Hardware_Manual_v008en.pdf)

  • Emtrion SDK and software documentation (sbc-rzn1d-yocto-manual_v005en.pdf)

  • updated device tree

  • updated uboot
