Forlinx introduces Renesas RZ/G2L system-on-module and development board

Renesas RZ/G2L or RZ/V2L Cortex-A55/M33 processors have found their way into several system-on-modules and single board computers recently with the likes of Geniatech AHAURA board, Avnet RZBoard, or ARIES Embedded MSRZG2UL OSM module among others.

Forlinx Embedded has joined the fray with the Renesas RZ/G2L-based FET-G2LD-C system-on-module, and a corresponding OK-G2LD-C development board with plenty of I/Os including dual Gigabit Ethernet, RS485 and CAN Bus interfaces, built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, plus an optional EC20 4G mini PCIe module.

FET-G2LD-C system-on-module

Specifications:

  • SoC –  Renesas RZ/G2L (R9A07G044Lxx) dual or single-core Arm Cortex-A55 processor @1.2GHz, with real-tme Arm Cortex-M33 core @ 200MHz, Arm Mali-G31 GPU with OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0/3.1/3.2,Vulkan 1.1, OpenCL 2.0, 1080p30 VPU with H.264 AVC/MVC video encoding/decoding
  • System Memory – 1GB / 2GB DDR4
  • Storage – 8GB or 16GB eMMC flash, 16MB QSPI NOR flash
  • 3x 80-pin B2B connectors with MIPI-DSI and RGB interfaces up to 1920×1080, 2x 1000Mbps Ethernet (GMAC), 2x CAN-FD, 7x UART, USB 2.0, SPI, I2C, ADC, etc…
  • Supply Voltage – DC 5V
  • Dimensions – 60 x 38 mm
  • Temperature Range – -40 to 85°C

The company provides a Linux 4.19 BSP (which should be based on CIP Linux) for the module with source code, root file system, a Ubuntu VM with tools, a firmware flashing tool, and some Qt demos.
