- The Smart Configurator for the RZ/G groups only generates Device Tree Specification (DTS) include files (dtsi), which are only usable in the development environment of the Linux platform. Manually merge the device-setting code in the generated dtsi files with the default dtsi files included in your source code produced under Linux for an RZ/G device. For details of the DTS, refer to the links on https://www.devicetree.org/specifications/.
- Smart Configurator of RZ V1.11.0 and later will support the 64-bit versions of Windows® only.
End of Support for Windows 32-Bit Versions
Smart Configurator released after Dec. 2021 will support the 64-bit versions of Windows® only.
Microsoft® Windows® has shifted to the 64-bit environment. Therefore, Renesas will focus on supporting Smart Configurator for the 64-bit environment.

Additional Details
Pin Settings
The assignments of pins can be set up through a GUI, which also checks and offers solutions for cases of contention for the same pin by multiplexed functions.
The [Pins Configuration] window (displayed per peripheral module)
Specifying a peripheral module in the [Pins Configuration] window displays the pin functions for use by the module and allows you to set the assignment of the functions to pins.
[MCU Package] window
Image
The [MCU Package] window displays a symbolic view of the pins, indicating by colors which pins are and are not in use, which have been assigned contending multiplexed functions, and so on. This makes it easy to check the overall situation.
Automatic resolution of contention between pin functions
Image
In cases of contention for a pin, clicking on the pin brings up a list allowing automatic changing of the assignment of the pin to resolve the contention.
Output a Device Settings File for Linux (Note1)
Output a DTS file that contains pin settings. You can readily apply device settings to Linux.
Note
- Only for the devices supported by the Verified Linux Package (RZ/G1, RZ/G2, RZ/V2L)
Importing Middleware/Drivers
Flexible Software Package（FSP）(Note1)
Image
You can change the settings of FSP pins and components by using the Smart Configurator GUI.
Note
- Available only for the RZ Family devices supported by the FSP.
RZ/A2M Software Package (Note1)
The RZ/A2M Software Package consists of a range of middleware and drivers, which you can import and then modify settings such as pin assignments as required.
Details of the RZ/A2M Software Package >>
Note
- We currently support version 2.0.0 and later versions of the RZ/A2M Software Package.
