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.

You will need a USB serial converter connected to the device (header J5). UART speed is 115200 baud. After bootup of the device you will have the possibility to enter the uboot boot loader. From there the following steps can be executed.
Please refer to the documentation from emtrion (sbc-rzn1d-yocto-manual_v005en.pdf) on how to update the uboot boot loader (u-boot.img). This is possible using a NFS or a TFTP server. The correct version shown should be “U-Boot 2017.01 sbc-rzn1d v01.0xp (Feb 02 2021 - 11:46:11 +0000)
”.
Now you need to boot into linux (power cycle or u-boot command "boot"). The device is initially configured to use DHCP. Ethernet ports J1 and J2 are used by the linux system. To login into linux, use the account root with no password (default settings).
Please place the dtb into the /boot folder of the filesystem accessible within linux.
This step is done from the u-boot bootloader. Following commands show the procedure. Update is done using tftp here:
# set cm3_max_fw_size env set cm3_max_fw_size 0xC0000 env set CM3 yes env save # load scripts run import.uboot_script # set mode to tftp setenv lmode tftp # set ip mode to dhcp setenv ip-method dhcp # get ip address dhcp # set server ip address setenv serverip 192.168.178.103 # set nfsroot to anything, even required of tftp is used setenv nfsroot "/System/Volumes/Data/Users/Shared/nfs" # set boot for tftp mode setenv bootdir /private/tftpboot # update the cm3 run update_cm3 |
If successful, following log messages are shown:

The port SDK can be be used on any linux machine capable of cross compiling for the arm platform (see compiler requirements). To install the SDK create a folder and unpack the delivered archive (2021015_20210816_2_22_1_port_emtrion_sbc_CCM_ci968.zip).

If you need to specify the cross compiler, you can do so by calling make in the following way:

The resulting binary is located in the sub folder build/emtrion_sbc_rzn1d_a7. It can be transfered to the device using scp:

The Industrial Communication Explorer is a management tool including PLC capabilities for EtherCAT, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP. Please refer to it’s documentation for installation and usage:
https://portgmbh.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ICE
The currently delivered CM3 firmware has following restrictions:
time limited to 180 minutes
EtherCAT support is missing
LED support not fully implemented, LED colors on the hardware limit possible protocol conformance (EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP)
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
How to configure static IP configuration for the linux ethernet interface? | The initial ip configuration of the interface eth0 is configued in u-boot (see emtrion manual).
If IP configuration shall be done through linux, clear all uboot variables related to IP address:
If done so, a static IP address or DHCP can be enabled through an init script. | ||
How to automatically start an application. | Put application into home folder /home/root under name goal_rzn1d_a7_linux.bin. After a reboot the application will be started automatically. | ||
How to disable waiting for network connection during startup of the device. | Once all IP address related variables in uboot are deleted, this check is disabled. |
