GR-PEACH

Overview

GR-PEACH is the Gadget Renesas board for the Renesas RZ family's RZ/A1H group of microprocessors (MPU) products. Fully pin-compatible with Arduino UNO, GR-PEACH is an Arm^® Mbed^TM enabled development platform. GR-PEACH takes advantage of web browser-based program development and a robust library selection. With the added appeal of 10MB of built-in RAM and the processing power of Arm Cortex^TM-A, GR-PEACH was created for the developer interested in high-speed prototyping of IoT devices with loads of HMI—graphics, touch panel, camera input, audio, network and more.

In addition, RZ/A1H FreeRTOS^TM Software Package for GR-PEACH has been released.

How to Program

Project File for e² studio

Project file for sketching in Eclipse-based development environment e² studio. For downloading and installing e² studio, please refer to the e² studio product page.

You can import as an archive file (zip) as an existing workspace from the e² studio menu "File" -> "Import".

Do the menu "Project" -> "Update all dependencies" at the initial build. Only sources changed since the next build will be compiled.

Below is an Arduino-like sketch example.

    
    #include <Arduino.h>
    #include <Camera.h>
    #include "DisplayApp.h"
    Camera camera;
    static DisplayApp display_app;
    void setup() {
        camera.begin();
    }
     
    void loop() {
        display_app.SendJpeg(camera.getJpegAdr(), (int)camera.createJpeg());
        delay(10);
    }
    }
