Understanding the MYD-YG2LX Industrial Development Board

Today, we will introduce an industrial-grade development board.

MYD-YG2LX

It uses an industrial-grade SoC.

Renesas RZ/G2L

Renesas is a Japanese semiconductor chip supplier.

In 2003, Hitachi and Mitsubishi Electric Semiconductor Division merged to form Renesas Technology, which was second only to Intel and Samsung at its inception.

In 2010, NEC and Renesas Technology merged to form Renesas Electronics, bringing in investments from three giants: NEC, Hitachi, and Mitsubishi. In the Japanese electronics field, after Sony and Toshiba Kioxia, Renesas is likely next.

Recently, Renesas also invested in the well-known maker platform Arduino. The recently released Arduino UNO R4 uses Renesas chips, and more Arduino development boards based on Renesas will steadily increase.

The SoC from Renesas has decent performance, using a dual-core ARM Cortex-A55 with a frequency of up to 1.2GHz. It features a Mali-G31 GPU and an ARM Cortex-M33 real-time CPU. It supports 1080P encoding and output.

Understanding the MYD-YG2LX Industrial Development Board

It comes in two models: core board and development board.

All come with 8GB eMMC. The memory is DDR4.

1GB memory version priced at 198

2GB memory version priced at 218

1GB memory version priced at 588

2GB memory version priced at 618

According to the manual, there is also a commercial-grade development board version, which should be cheaper, but it is currently not for sale.

There is also a 4GB memory option, with eMMC options of 4GB/16GB/32GB, but currently, no packages are available for sale.

This development board is designed to industrial-grade standards, allowing it to operate in temperatures ranging from -40 to 80℃, which is very important in the automotive field. Many commercial-grade development boards only operate between 0 to 70℃, and cars can stall in the northeast, which designers may encounter.

Its core board MYC-YG2LX measures 43x45mm.

It uses a 10-layer high-density PCB design, gold immersion process, lead-free solder, and has an independent ground signal layer. The core board pin interface uses a stamped hole + LGA design. There are a total of 222 pins.

When designing the PCB, be careful to make a square hole in the development board to avoid certain components, otherwise, it won’t be soldered properly.

MYB-YG2LX baseboard dimensions are 142.4x120mm.

The interface configuration is shown in the following image.

It features dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, a 12V DC power supply interface, an onboard Wi-Fi module, and compatible with the Raspberry Pi 40-pin expansion interface, with other interfaces also being complete.

However, it is important to note that

The 5G/4G communication module interface and Wi-Fi module both use the USB2.0 protocol.

The display interface is converted from MIPI-DSI to one HDMI interface and one LVDS interface.

One RGB display interface is derived from GPIO.

Unfortunately, there is no CAN interface available, which needs to be implemented through expansion pins.

On the software side, the official provides a Yocto system-based image without GUI and a full-featured image.

There is also a familiar version of Ubuntu 20.04 Core with the XFCE graphical interface.

Mil also developed a human-machine interface framework based on QT5 for this development board, MEasy HMI V2.0, using a mix of QML and C++ programming. It can be applied in fields such as multimedia, smart home appliances, healthcare, and public services.

The official has provided three industry demos, demonstrated in charging piles, PLC controllers, and engineering machinery.

In terms of quality, this development board has undergone signal quality tests, high and low-temperature tests, aging tests, anti-static tests, EMC tests, and software stress tests to ensure stable performance.

This has always been a strong point for Mil.

Overall, this development board is very suitable for use in industrial control, public services, and other fields, especially for technical personnel from companies that provide equipment and technical support for these fields. Because in enterprises, stability and safety are the top priorities, everything else can be put aside. This is exactly the development board designed for these fields.

Some may feel this development board is expensive or has poor performance, which is normal because its main selling points are stability and industrial-grade applications, both of which come at a cost. Whether one needs these features completely depends on personal choice.

If you want to understand the development model in the industrial field and learn development technology in industrial control, you can also purchase this to learn relevant knowledge.

That’s all for now. If you have anything to say, remember to comment in the comment section. See you next time.
