Build, flash, and debug the ready-to-use LVGL project of the RX72N Envision Kit with e² studio, the Smart Configurator, and the RXv3 toolchain.

Edit on GitHub

Supported boards in the RX Family:

RX72N Envision Kit

Run the Project

Install e² studio: The official IDE of Renesas is called e² studio. Because it's Eclipse-based, it runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac as well. It can be downloaded here.

Install the debugger driver: Download and install the required driver for the debugger:

for Windows: 64 bit here and 32 bit here
for Linux: here

Install the RXv3 toolchain: RX72 requires an external compiler for the RXv3 core. A free and open-source version is available here after registration.

The compiler must be activated in e² studio:

Go to Help -> Add Renesas Toolchains
Press the Add... button
Select the installation folder of the toolchain

Clone the project: Clone the ready-to-use lv_port_renesas_rx72n-envision-kit repository:

bash

git clone https://github.com/lvgl/lv_port_renesas_rx72n-envision-kit.git --recurse-submodules

Downloading the .zip from GitHub doesn't work as it doesn't download the submodules.

Import the project: Open e² studio, go to File -> Import project and select General / Existing projects into workspace. Select the cloned folder and press Finish.

Generate the code: Double-click on RX72N_EnVision_LVGL.scfg to activate the Configuration Window.

Renesas' Smart Configurator (SMC) includes BSP and HAL layer support extended with multiple RTOS variants and other middleware stacks. The components will be available via code generation, including the entry point of the application.

Press Generate Code in the top right corner.
