Connect the 5V Power Adaptor to the RX62N Board

The Power LED glows The LCD Module displays

“Searching for APs” The Starter Kit is programmed

to connect to an Open Access Point with the strongest signal strength

After connection, the LCD Module displays the AP’s SSID and acquired IP Address

If connection fails, the LCD Module displays, “NO OPEN AP FOUND” or “IP CONF ERROR”.

RS-RX62N-2201 – Demonstration (Contd.)

If the connection is successful, connect the Laptop to the same Access Point over WLAN or using an Ethernet cable

Double-click on the RX62NGUI.jar file in the Software->Demo->Applications folder.

* Sold and Supported by Redpine Signals, Inc.

2323


Enter the IP Address of the Starter Kit in the “Device IPv4 Address” field and click on “Connect”

Doing this, opens a TCP connection between the Starter Kit and the Laptop through the Access Point

If the connection is successful, the App LED glows

Click on the positions of LED0, LED1, LED2 on the application to toggle the corresponding LEDs on the MCU board

2424


If the connection to the Access Point is unsuccessful because it’s not configured in Open Mode or not DHCP enabled or it’s too far away…

Execute steps 1 to 16 (Installation and Connection) of the “Quickstart – Renesas Starter Kit for RX62N” document to First install all the latest Renesas software Then connect the RS-RX62N-2201 kit to the Laptop through the

Debugger Note: This step has been taken care of in advance

Double-click on “RSRX62N2201DEMO.hws” file present in Software->Demo->RX62N_App_SW->RSRX62N2201DEMO folder

2525


The HEW starts. Click “Yes” if asked

2626


Double-click on “network_config.h” on the left side panel

RS-RX62N-2201– Demonstration (Contd.)

Change the following values: AUTO_CONNECT_OPEN_AP

to DISABLE SSID PSK (Pre-Shared Key) DHCP IP_ADDRESS SUBNET_MASK GATEWAY_ADDRESS

Click File->Save All Click Build->Build All Click Debug->Debug

Settings and select SessionRX600_E1_E20_SYS

In the same Debug Settings window Select the file under “Download Modules” and click on Modify In the dialog box that opens, navigate to the Software->Demo-

>RX62N_App_SW->RSRX62N2201DEMO->RSRX62N2201DEMO->release folder and select the RSRX62N2201DEMO.mot file

Click the Select and OK buttons to close all dialog boxes Click Debug->Connect. In the dialog box that opens, select

“Program Flash” and “Execute the user program after ending the debugger”. Wait for connection to board to be established (click OK when asked).

In the dialog box that asks for Power Supply details, select “Power Target from Emulator…” and “5.0V”.

Once the “Connected” message is displayed in the Debug window, right-click on RSRX62N2201DEMO.mot file in the left side panel.

Click Download (click OK when asked) Click Debug->Disconnect

2929


You have successfully programmed the Starter Kit to connect to the Access Point of your choice

Disconnect the Debugger, power off/on the Starter Kit The Kit will automatically connect to the programmed Access

Point You can then control the LEDs as explained earlier

3030


Once connected to the Kit either out-of-the-box or by manually changing parameters, you can reconfigure the Kit’s connection parameters through the Wireless connection

Click on the “Wi-Fi” tab of the Demo App
