Design and Integration Files
Programming Environment
The firmware for the EVAL-ADXL362Z-DB was developed for the Renesas RL78/G13 microcontroller using the Renesas Electronics CubeSuite+ environment. The links below offer downloads and installation instructions for these tools:

Getting Started
Using the Board
Firmware Options
Analog Devices has developed firmware for implementing the following functions via the EVAL-ADXL362Z-DB:
- Datalogger and GUI (includes real-time data viewer and tilt sensor): logs data onto (supplied) microSD card. ZIP (includes .hex firmware and .exe GUI)
- Tilt Sensor: shows tilt measurement on E-Ink display. HEX | Source Code
- Ultralow Power Motion switch: turns display icons on or off based on presence or absence of motion. HEX | Source Code
- Pedometer & fall detector coming soon
Reconfiguring the Board
The EVAL-ADXL362Z-DB firmware can be rewritten using the Renesas Flash Programmer (click here for download links). Instructions for rewriting the firmware are as follows:
- Download the desired firmware .hex file from here. Save it in a known location.
- Set jumpers: J6, J7, J8, and J9 (between the USB connector and the switch) to the 1-2 position. Set jumper J2 (near the display connector) to the 2-3 position for USB power.
We know the jumpers are a pain and we apologize in advance.
Jumper Position 
J2 1 2 3 J6 1 2 3 J7 1 2 3 J8 1 2 3 J9 1 2 3 - Plug the USB cable in to the computer and to the USB port on the board.
- Launch the Renesas Flash Programmer V1.03 (download here)
- Choose “Create new workspace”
- Input RL78/G13 in the Filter text box. Select the entry with Device Name “R5F100LJ”, and enter a workspace name. Click Next.
- In the “Select Communication Interface” screen, use the pull-down menu next to “Select Tool” to choose the appropriate COM port for the board. Click Next.
- On the “Setting Power Supply” screen, leave the default settings and click Next.
- On the “Setting Oscillator” screen, and select the corresponding COM port for the board. Click Next.
- The “Information Settings” screen shows a summary of inputted settings. Click Complete.
- The Workspace is now set up. Next to “User/Data area”, browse to the desired .hex file (that you downloaded and saved in step 1.)
- Click “Start”.
- When flashing is complete, disconnect the USB cable (to power the board off) and set jumpers J6 - J9 back to the 2-3 position. Leave J2 where it is to USB power, or move it to the 1-2 position to power the board from the coin cell.
Jumper Position J2 1 2 3 J6 1 2 3 J7 1 2 3 J8 1 2 3 J9 1 2 3 - Reconnect the USB cable OR plug in the battery and turn on the switch to begin using the board.
