Getting Started with the DA16200 FreeRTOS SDK
Introduction
Note: Before getting started with this tutorial, users should familiarize themselves with the DA16200 FreeRTOS Getting Started Guide for the DA16200MOD.
This tutorial is meant to supplement the DA16200 FreeRTOS Getting Started Guide and adapt the information specifically, to our DA16200 boards. The majority of the material in this tutorial, including the installation and examples, are derived from that manual.
Additionally, users should note that the information in this tutorial may become depricated and hyperlinks may break as Dialog/Renesas provides new software releases. Please, refer to the DA16200 product page for the latest updates and resources.
Advanced Software: Novice users, may find the amount information contained in this tutorial somewhat daunting. The SDK and IDE are relatively complex.
- For beginners, who have never programmed; we highly recommend that these users begin with a simpler microcontroller learning kit; such as the SparkFun Inventor's Kit (SIK). The kit utilizes a simpler development and programming platform called the Arduino IDE.
System Requirements: The minimum system requirements for the DA16200 FreeRTOS SDK are:
- Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
- Users may need administrative privileges to install some of the following software.
- xPack Project Manager:
- GNU Arm GCC 10.2.1
- Windows: Windows Build Tools
- Eclipse 2020-09
- DA16200 FreeRTOS SDK
- Serial Terminal with Y-Modem support
- Windows: Tera Term (Recommended)
- Linux: minicom (Recommended)
*For more information on the required software, please refer to the DA16200 FreeRTOS Getting Started Guide.
Manufactured by Dialog (a subsidiary of Renesas), the DA16200MOD is a highly integrated ultra-low power Wi-Fi system on chip (SoC). The DA16200 contains a 802.11b/g/n radio (PHY), a baseband processor, a media access controller (MAC), on-chip memory, and a host networking application processor, all on a single silicon die. With multiple sleep modes (down to 0.2 - 3.5 µA), the DA16200MOD perfect for your next IoT project. Additionally, the SoC has full offload capabilities to run the entire networking OS and TCP/IP stack on chip; therefore, an external network processor, CPU, or microcontroller are not required.

FreeRTOS and SDK
To understand what is a FreeRTOS and how it is involved in the SDK for the Dialog DA16200 module, users will need to familiarize themselves with the fundamentals of operating systems (OS), schedulers, and real time operating systems (RTOS). In this section, a brief overview of these topics is presented below. However, for a more in-depth introduction to real time operating systems and some of the features of FreeRTOS, please check out the Digi-Key video series on RTOS presented by Shawn Hymel (former SparkFun personality):
Digi-Key video series on RTOS (Source: Youtube)
OS Scheduler
For any operating system (OS), an individual processor core is capable of running only one thread at a time. However, some operating systems implement a scheduler to control its processing resources; where, the scheduler allocates the processing time and priority of tasks executed on the processor's core(s). This allows the OS to create the illusion of running multiple programs simultaneously (i.e. multi-tasking) when the scheduler rapidly switches between the individual processes for each program.
Real Time Operating System (RTOS)
An operating system can be defined by how its scheduler prioritizes program execution. In a real time operating system (RTOS), the scheduler is designed to operate in a deterministic (i.e. predictable) execution pattern. This is ideal for embedded systems, which require a response to events within a specific time frame.
FreeRTOS
FreeRTOS is a prevalent real-time operating system that is distributed freely under the MIT open source license. It includes a kernel and a growing set of IoT libraries, which are designed to be light enough to run on a resource constrained processor; such as a microcontroller. Currently, the project is maintained by Amazon Web Services (AWS).
FreeRTOS was built with an emphasis on reliability and ease of use.
- Within their code, users assign priorities to each task or thread of execution. The kernel then automatically handles all the real time scheduling, inter-task communication, and the timing and synchronization primitives. Therefore, allowing the scheduler to operate in a deterministic manner, executing tasks based on the assigned priority.
- Additional functionality, such as a command console interface, or networking stacks, can then be included with add-on components.
DA16200 FreeRTOS SDK
The DA16200 FreeRTOS SDK is provided and maintained by Renesas. It is a port of FreeRTOS, built specifically to operate on the DA16200 module. Unfortunately, due to the depth of information that can be covered, we won't go into details about the SDK operation beyond basic examples we provide.
- For topics such as interrupt service routines and peripheral pin functions, users should refer to the SDK documentation for the DA16200 module.
- For information related to the RTOS, such as task management, users can refer to the FreeRTOS API documentation.

Build an Example Project
Each of the example project directories contain a folder structure, which includes a project
folder with the DA16200 (or DA16600) target folder(s).
GPIO
example application contains both the DA16200
and DA16600
target folders in the example's projects
folder:
/apps/common/examples/Peripheral/GPIO/projects/da16200 /apps/common/examples/Peripheral/GPIO/projects/da16600
Import a Project
To build an example application (or project), users must import them into the Eclipse Project Explorer. Navigate to the specific example project directory, right-click on the DA16200
folder in the project directory, and then select Import as Project.

folder. (Click to enlarge) Build a Project
Once the target project is imported, it will appear in the Eclipse Project Explorer. To build the project, right-click on the imported project folder and select Build Project.
Initial Build
The first time a build process is performed in the SDK, a Generate Configuration window will be displayed automatically to select the flash memory type. Users will need to select the flash memory type and press the Generate button to create the appropriate flash configuration file required to build the firmware.
- If the pop-up window is closed without selecting and generating a configuration file, a warning pop-up is displayed.
- A flash configuration file is required to build the firmware, so the step cannot be skipped.
For the DA16200MOD, users will need to select:
- Flash Memory Type:
W25Q32JV
- Size of the Flash Memory:
4MB
- Partition Size:
4MB
Project - Firmware Images
While the project builds, the following output is displayed in the Eclipse IDE's Console window:
Once complete, there are two firmware images that are generated:
- FBOOT -
DA16200_FBOOT-GEN01-01-XXXXXXXXX_W25Q32JW.img
- FRTOS -
DA16200_FRTOS-GEN01-01-XXXXXXXXX-XXXXXX.img
The files are stored in the <sdk_root_directory>/<project_path>/img/
directory.
FBOOT
is the bootloader image which is used to initialize the DA16200 and launch the main firmware.- The bootloader image must be the first thing loaded into flash for a new device.
- Since the bootloader image contains SFDP (flash specific) information, the bootloader must be loaded into flash before other images are loaded.
- When the SDK is updated, always load the bootloader image first.
FRTOS
is the main firmware image which includes the RTOS and user applications.
Configure the WiFi Connection
To configure the settings of the WiFi connection, users will need to modify the sample_preconfig.c
file of the SDK from the apps > common > examples > common_config directory.
sample_preconfig.c
WiFi configuration file for the DA16200 FreeRTOS SDK. (Click to enlarge) Users will need to modify the following lines in the file to configure and enable the WiFi connection of the board:
- Line 41 -
#define SAMPLE_AP_SSID "sparkfun-guest"
- Line 42 -
#define SAMPLE_AP_PSK "sparkfun6333"
- Line 63 -
#if 1 // Example ...
Modify the Build Version
To configure the settings of the build version, users can modify the 2nd_major_number.c
file of the SDK from the tools > version directory.
Programming and Debugging
There are two primary methods to update the main firmware (FRTOS
) image, with Y-Modem through the serial debug interface or with a J-Link programmer (debugging probe).
Serial Terminal (Y-Modem)
Before proceeding further, users will need to update the firmware for the DA16200MOD.
- There are two firmware images for the DA16200 FreeRTOS SDK:
- FBOOT is the bootloader image which is used to initialize the DA16200 and launch the main firmware.
- File Name:

Debug
To start debugging an application, right-click on the project in the Project Explorer and select Debug As > Debug Configurations.
Open the GDB SEGGER J-Link Debugging entry in the list and select one of the three debugging
modes (reboot
, attach
, attach with RTOS info
) and then select Debug.
There are three debug methods supported by J-Link: "reboot", "attach" and "attach with RTOS info" which are defined as follows:
DA16x_Main_Debug (Reboot)
/Linux_DA16x_Main_Debug(reboot)
- In this mode, the debugger is executed after rebooting the image stored in SFLASH.
- In this mode, watchdog is turned off and wdt_kicking thread is not executed
DA16x_Main_Debug (Attach)
/Linux_DA16x_Main_Debug(attach)
- This mode executes the debugger in attach mode without rebooting the image currently stored in SFLASH.
Note: Before using
Attach
mode, first turn off the watchdog using thesys.wdog off
command as follows:[/DA16200] # sys.wdog off
- This mode executes the debugger in attach mode without rebooting the image currently stored in SFLASH.
DA16x_Main_Debug (attach_with_rtos_info)
/Linux_DA16x_Main_Debug(attach_with_rtos_info)
- Same as attach mode but displays thread information when in the debugger suspend state
Note: The current FreeRTOS SDK does not support automatic downloading of the firmware image into flash through the Eclipse debug interface. Therefore, the firmware must be loaded into SFLASH before starting to debug the application.
- Same as attach mode but displays thread information when in the debugger suspend state
OTA Update
There is a third option, however, it does require that the DA16200MOD module be preprogrammed to update its firmware over the air (OTA). Additionally, the firmware updates
Example: GPIO Control
This example will demonstrate how to import and build one of the example projects from the DA16200 FreeRTOS SDK. This example will utilize the GPIO example project from the <sdk_root_directory>/apps/common/examples/Peripheral
folder of the SDK (apps > common > examples > Peripheral > GPIO). The example project is written to read and toggle certain GPIO pins.
The
projects
folder for the GPIO example, from the Peripheral
examples folder of the DA16200 FreeRTOS SDK. (Click to enlarge)
By default, the example project will:
- Toggle the
GPIOA0
andGPIOA4
high and low. - Read the state of
GPIOA1
. - The
GPIOA2
andGPIOA3
pins will be configured as interrupts:GPIOA2
will be active low.GPIOA3
will be active high.
Below are the prebuilt images for the GPIO example project, using version 3.2.4.0 of the SDK:
Build Project
Users with the DA16200 Thing Plus, can blink the STAT
LED by modifying the following lines in the peripheral_sample_gpio.c
file in the <sdk_root_directory>/apps/common/examples/Peripheral/GPIO/src
folder:
- Replace
GPIO_PIN0
withGPIO_PIN11
on lines: 97, 162-163, 170, and 177 - Replace
GPIOA[0]
withGPIOA[11]
on line: 176
Users can also make the print outs in the serial debug interface easier to read by replacing low
with low
(add a extra space) to lines 177-179.
peripheral_sample_gpio.c
file and most of the lines to modified in the Eclipde IDE. (Click to enlarge) Once the peripheral_sample_gpio.c
file has been modified to suit the users needs, the example project can be imported and built in the Eclipse IDE. Users can then use the serial debug interface to upload the new firmware to the board. Once users reboot the DA16200MOD module, the new firmware should run automatically.
Users who have the DA16200 Thing Plus and have modified the code to toggle the STAT
LED will see a blue LED blinking at about 1 second intervals.
Example: I2C
In the DA16200 FreeRTOS SDK, there is an I2C example project (apps > common > examples > Peripheral > I2C) that will write to and read from an EEPROM. This project is compatible with the Qwiic EEPROM. Below are the prebuilt images for the I2C
example project, using version 3.2.4.0 of the SDK:
Build Project
After users have imported and built the project from the SDK, they can connect the Qwiic EEPROM and program their board. (No code modifications are necessary for this example project.)
If connected properly, users should see a success message in the serial debug interface after the FRTOS
image has been uploaded. The DA16200MOD will write 32 bytes to the EEPROM and then read the EEPROM to verify the data. The success message is displayed upon verification of the data.
Example: WiFi
STNP Sever
The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is as an Internet Protocol (IP) used to synchronize the clocks of networks of computers. In the DA16200 FreeRTOS SDK, there is an example project (apps > common > examples > ETC > Cur_Time) to access the Windows SNTP server and return the current time. Below are the prebuilt images for the Cur_Time
example project, using version 3.2.4.0 of the SDK:
Once uploaded, if the WiFi connection has been provisioned, the board will print out the current time at regular intervals. At longer intervals, the current time will be updated from the Windows STNP server.
Build Project
To build the project, users should modify the following lines of code from the cur_time_sample.c
file:
- Line 44:
TEST_SNTP_RENEW_PERIOD
- Sets how often the board pulls the current time from SNTP server (seconds)
- Line 45:
TEST_TIME_ZONE
- Sets the user/board's time zone (GMT)
- Example:
(-6 * 3600)
represents GMT-6 or GMT (-6 hrs)
- Line 49:
CUR_TIME_LOOP_DELAY
- Sets how often the current time is reported in the serial debug interface (seconds)
cur_time_sample.c
file and the lines to modify in the Eclipde IDE. (Click to enlarge) Once the cur_time_sample.c
file has been modified to suit the users needs, the example project can be imported and built in the Eclipse IDE. Users can then use the serial debug interface to upload the new firmware to the board. After users reboot the DA16200MOD module, the new firmware should run automatically. However, if the WiFi settings haven't been provisioned, users will need to configure the WiFi connection before the firmware starts outputting time stamps.
Cur_Time
example after the WiFi has been provisioned. (Click to enlarge) OTA Firmware Update
The OTA (over the air) update example, allows users to update the firmware of the board by hosting the FRTOS
image on a server. Through the WiFi connection, the board performs a simple HTTP request for the new firmware image. If the new image meets certain criteria, the board will download the firmware to a FRTOS slot in the SFlash memory and reboot that board to use that image.
Users can find the OTA update example project in the DA16200 FreeRTOS SDK (apps > common > examples > Network > OTA_Update). Below are the prebuilt images for the OTA_Update
example project, using version 3.2.4.0 of the SDK:
Build Project
To build the project, users should modify the following lines of code from the ota_update_sample.c
file:
- Modify line 52 to enable the OTA firmware update
#define SAMPLE_UPDATE_DA16_FW
- Modify line 60 with the address of the new firmware
static char ota_server_uri_rtos[256] = "https://sfecdn.s3.amazonaws.com/DA16200_FRTOS-GEN01-01-48589f13c-005000.img";
- Modify line 115 to reboot with the new firmware
g_ota_update_conf->auto_renew = 1;
ota_update_sample.c
file and the lines to modify in the Eclipde IDE. (Click to enlarge) Once the ota_update_sample.c
file has been modified to suit the users needs, the example project can be imported and built in the Eclipse IDE. Users can then use the serial debug interface to upload the new firmware to the board. After users reboot the DA16200MOD module, the new firmware should run automatically. However, if the WiFi settings haven't been provisioned, users will need to configure the WiFi connection before the new firmware can be downloaded and updated. The new firmware that is uploaded to the S3 bucket, toggles the GPIO pins, including GPIOA11
for the status LED.
Troubleshooting Tips
We have also included some troubleshooting tips, below, for issues that users may come across.
- One of our employees compiled a great list of troubleshooting tips based on the most common customer issues. This is the perfect place to start.
- Users looking for support on general FreeRTOS questions, can click on this link. There users can get started with posting a topic in FreeRTOS forum.
- Users looking for support with the DA16200 SDK specifically, should post their topic on RenesasRulz forum.
MacOSX
Unfortunately, Renesas does not provide support for their SDK on MacOSX computers. Users will need to use a computer with a Windows or Linux operating system.
Serial Terminal Frozen
We have found that users could accidentally upload code, which may not function properly and potentially bog down the serial terminal; impeding it from taking inputs. If this occurs, users will need to use the J-Link programmer to program the module (with "known good" code) through the JTAG pins.
Reset
The reset button on this board doesn't cause the module to restart the firmware operation; it is used to reset the DA16200 module to the factory setting/configuration (when held down for +5 seconds). In order to reset the firmware, users can use the following commands in the serial debug interface:
reboot
- This command will cause the module to restart the firmware execution.reset
/boot
reset
- This command will take users to theMaskROM
mode.boot
- From theMaskROM
command mode, this command will cause the module to restart the firmware execution.
Linux Driver
To get started with the DA16200MOD on RZ/G2L Linux systems using the DA16200/600's Linux driver source code, please refer to the Linux Driver Getting Started Guide
