J-Link RX Adapter

The J-Link RX Adapter maps from the standard J-Link 20-pin 0.1" connector to the standard 14-pin 0.1" connector defined by Renesas and allows JTAG + FINE connections to Renesas RX devices.

When using the J-Link RX Adapter, please make sure that you are using the latest revision of this adapter, since on older revisions specific features like FINE interface support may not be supported. The back-side of the adapter shows the revision of it. The current revision is 5. Older revisions may not show a revision on the back-side but a production date only. Please replace these adapters by a one with min. revision 5.

Supported Cores

The J-Link RX Adapter supports connecting via JTAG to the following cores:

  • RX610
  • RX621
  • RX62G
  • RX62N
  • RX62T
  • RX630
  • RX631
  • RX63N
  • RX63T
  • RX64M
  • RX65N
  • RX66T
  • RX71M

It can also be used for connecting via FINE to the following cores:

  • RX111
  • RX210
  • RX21A
  • RX220

Note: For connecting to RX63x devices via FINE, the J-Link RX FINE Adapter is required.

The FINED Signal

Since the FINE interface is a open-drain specified interface, there is always a pull-up necessary on the target hardware. Pull-up recommendation is 1k Ohm.

CPU Signal <-> J-Link RX Adapter Connection

TDTDI In the following, for the different Renesas RX CPUs the CPU signal <-> J-Link RX Adapter signal mapping is described.

Powering the Target System Via J-Link RX Adapter

The J-Link RX adapter is able to optionally power the connected target hardware. 3.3V or 5V supply voltage can be selected using a Jumper. The target is supplied via the VTref connection (pin 8) when the supply option is jumpered. The J-Link RX Adapter is shipped with option "do not power target" (jumper open)
