Smart Analog Easy Starter 101 Tutorial (RL78/L13)
Introduction
This application note is a tutorial that explains the setup routine required for enabling transmission between the Smart
Analog Easy Starter 101 (herein referred to as Easy Starter 101), which is the GUI tool for Smart Analog IC101
evaluations, and the CPU board included in the Renesas Starter Kit for RL78/L13, which connects to the Smart Analog
IC RSK Option Evaluation Board.
Note: Smart Analog IC101 is referred to as “SAIC101” throughout this document.

2. Board Soldering
To connect the RSK CPU board and the TSA-OP-IC101 board, the user must attach pin sockets or headers to the
extension board interface (herein referred to as “application header”). This section explains the soldering locations on
both boards.
RSK CPU Board
Solder pin sockets to the RSK CPU board application headers (JA1, JA2, JA5, and JA6). Solder 26 pins (2 x 13)
to JA1 and JA2, and 24 pins (2 x 12) to JA5 and JA6, facing upward. Make sure the pin sockets are mounted
perpendicular to the board.

TSA-OP-IC101 Board
Solder pin headers to the application headers (JA1, JA2, JA5, and JA6) on the TSA-OP-IC101 board. Solder the pin
headers facing downward (facing the board), with 26 pins (2 x 13) to JA1 and JA2, and 24 pins (2 x 12) to JA5 and JA6.
Make sure the pin headers are mounted perpendicular to the board.
Although Easy Starter 101 does not use the LCD extension board, if you are using the LCD Extension Board while it is
connected to the TSA-OP-IC101 board, make sure you solder 50 pin headers (2 x 25) to the application header (JA4)
facing downward (facing the board), and 50 pin sockets (2 x 25) to the application header (JA4_COPY1) facing upward.

3. Jumper Confirmation
Before using Easy Starter 101, you will need to set the jumpers on each board. The following provides instructions on
how to set the on-board thermistor (herein referred to as “thermistor”) mounted on the TSA-OP-IC101 board as well as
the jumpers on each board.
RSK CPU Board
Use the initial settings to set the RSK CPU board jumpers. For details, refer to the User’s Manual (R20UT2125EG) for
the Renesas Starter Kit for RL78/L13.

6.2 Serial Cable Connection
Connect the PC to the RS233 serial connector on the RSK CPU board with a serial cable. If your PC is equipped with a
D-SUB 9 pin connector, you can use the RS-232C cable, as shown in Image 1 of Figure 6-2. If your PC does not have a
D-SUB 9 pin connector, use a serial cable that supports D-SUB 9 pin connectors such as the USB serial conversion
cable shown in Image 2 of Figure 6-2.
Note: Drive installation is required when connecting with a USB serial conversion cable. See cable instructions for
details.
