ΣyG-S7G2 Modular Development Kit (MDK) Overview
1.1 Introduction
The Future Designs, Inc. ΣyG
TM
Family provides a complete and qualified Graphical User
Interface (GUI) / Human Machine Interface (HMI) platform for the rapid release of customer
products. The core of ΣyG (pronounced, “sig”) is Renesas Synergy
TM
– a comprehensive and
integrated software-based microcontroller platform. FDI adds the Synergy platform to its GUI
hardware, systems and production expertise. The end result is a sum of high-quality products that
provide a robust and proven source for GUI and HMI solutions:
ΣyG = Renesas Synergy+ GUI
The ΣyG-S7G2 Modular Development Kit for the System on Module is the gateway for beginning
Renesas Synergy
TM
projects. The ΣyG-S7G2 Modular Development Kit is compatible with FDI’s
ΣyG Modular Development LCD Kits but can be used independently as a lower cost option for those
embedded applications without the need for a touch screen display. FDI offers low cost customization
services for customer specific hardware, software or packaging applications at volumes of 500 units
or more.
1.2 ESD Warning
The ΣYG-S7G2-43C-MDK is shipped in a protective anti-static package. Do not subject the
module to high electrostatic potentials. Exposure to high electrostatic potentials may cause damage
to the boards that will not be covered under warranty. General practice for working with static
sensitive devices should be followed when working with the kit.

1.5 Requirements
The ΣYG-S7G2-43C -MDK requires a carrier board with a 200-pin SO-DIMM socket. The
socket should have the key at the 1.8V location. The CARRIER Board from Future Designs
provides this socket and should be utilized to develop your application for initial verification.
Each yG development kit includes:
•ΣyG-S7G2 System on Module (SOM)
•Renesas Synergy Software Platform
•Carrier Board
•5 VDC, 2.3A North American Power Supply
•USB and Ethernet Cables
•Segger ARM Cortex-M Mini-JTAG debugger and cables
•Optional LCD Carrier Board
•Optional 4.3” or 7.0″PCAP Touch Screen LCD
1.6 ΣyG-S7G2 SOM Power Requirements
The power requirement for the ΣYG-S7G2-43C-MDK is 5V DC Center Positive 2A Power
Supply.
Getting Started
2.1 Setting up the Hardware
The SOMDIMM should be inserted into the DIMM Socket as shown below and then
locked into place by pushing down to the Carrier Board. Ensure the SOMDIMM is inserted
completely into the socket prior to locking. The socket utilized on the CARRIER Board is
rated for a minimum of 25 insertions.

Figure 3: SOMDIMM Insertion
The following are step by step instructions for setting up the hardware.
1) Make sure you have a SOMDIMM board plugged into the CARRIER board at J1.
2) Verify the LCD Interface ribbon cable connects the LCD CARRIER board to the CARRIER (J7)
board.
3) With the power off, plug the 5V center-positive Power Supply into 5V (P5) of the CARRIER
board.
4) Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the ETHERNET (J5) interface of the CARRIER board.
5) Plug in a female-to-female DB9 serial cable between PC and RS232 (P4) on the CARRIER board.
6) Insert the microSD card with the demonstration files (included) into microSD connector on the
SOMDIMM.

2.2 Demonstration Software
Once the device is powered on, the demonstration software start menu will appear on the LCD
screen. The software consists of the brewing demonstration and temperature demonstration.


2.2.1 Brewing Demonstration
To launch the Brewing Demonstration tap the “Brewing Demo” button on the
demonstration software start menu. The purpose of the Brewing Demonstration is to
showcase Renesas SSP’s sprite animation capability. Bottles appear to move down the
production line, fill with a liquid, and the man drinks the liquid.
2.2.2 Temperature Demo
To launch the Temperature Demonstration, tap the “Temperature” button on the
demonstration software start menu. This interactive demonstration displays the temperature
of the processor and the temperature measured by an optional external sensor. Clicking on
the “Deg. C” or “Deg. F” button will change the degree scale in which the temperatures are
