Linux Package (VLP)

Renesas provides the basic software required for the industrial segment as the verified software package. Renesas also provides the multimedia package for installing H.264/H.265 Video codec and graphics (OpenGL ES) function into the RZ/G BSP (Board Support Package).
Please go to the page from the link that indicates the version of VLP in the table below, download the package and use it.

* Each VLP maintenance will be finished when the maintenance of corresponding CIP Linux Kernel version is completed.
   Use of the latest version VLP is recommended.
   Please refer to CIP Wiki for CIP Linux kernel maintenance periods.

RZ/G Linux HMI Software Development Kit

The RZ/G HMI Software Development Kit (HMI SDK) provides a Linux HMI application development environment for the RZ/G Evaluation Board Kit (EVK). The HMI SDK is a one-package solution that includes necessary software for developing HMI application programs, such as Verified Linux Package (VLP), graphics library, video codec library, and HMI framework/libraries.

Advantages of HMI SDK

• Easy-to-Use
  The HMI SDK provides a quick and easy development environment, lowering the barrier to entry for beginners to Linux to using a Linux MPU.
  • As long as you create a bootable SD card by using an image file in the SDK and put the SDK card on the board, an HMI demo starts on Linux.
  • You can start developing your application program easily since the SDK provides an installer for a toolchain of cross-development. And some application programs that run on HMI SDK Linux are available on our GitHub.
• Free of Charge
  All software in the HMI SDK is available for free.
  • The HMI SDK consists of open-source software and libraries from Renesas, and they are provided for free.
  • As long as you have a supported RZ/G series EVK, you can start developing your HMI application program using the SDK.
• Ready-to-Use
  The HMI SDK provides following GUI framework and libraries that are appropriate for HMI.
  • LVGL (Light and Versatile Graphics Library), which is a lightweight, free, open-source embedded graphics library. It does not use the GPU in the application program.
  • Chromium, which is a free and browser-based framework for application programs with GPU.

Target

The HMI SDK covers the EVK for RZ/G2L, RZ/G2LC and RZ/G2UL. In addition, we plan to expand support to other RZ/G series EVKs in the future.

For more details about the HMI SDK, please see:
https://renesas-rz.github.io/rzg_hmi_sdk/latest/

AOSP-based Package

The software package based on Android™ Open Source Project (AOSP) is a collection of the board support package (BSP) to run AOSP on RZ/G, the GPU middleware for graphic acceleration and the middleware for hardware video codecs.

To use the Software Package based on Android Open Source Project, please contact your local sales representative or distributor.

Ubuntu/Debian Solution

Ubuntu and Debian are free, open-source Linux distributions widely used not only for desktops and servers, but also in embedded systems. This solution provides a guide on how to install Ubuntu/Debian on the RZ/G evaluation board kit, along with Renesas software and scripts to help you build a working Ubuntu/Debian environment.

Key Features

• This solution provides information for building an Ubuntu/Debian evaluation environment. Ubuntu/Debian can be evaluated free of charge and without any licensing contracts on the RZ/G Evaluation Kit (EVK).
• This solution provides a guide, Renesas-developed software, and scripts to help you build an Ubuntu/Debian environment with ease. The provided scripts simplify complex processes, making setup straightforward and efficient.

The Ubuntu/Debian environment built with this solution consists of both Ubuntu/Debian software and Renesas software. Additional software can be installed on the EVK as needed using the apt command.

Target Device

This solution currently supports the RZ/G2L Evaluation Kit (EVK). Support for additional EVKs in the RZ/G series is planned for future release.
