EK-RX261

The Renesas EK-RX261 evaluation kit (RTK5EK2610S00001BE) with an R5F52618BGFP: an RX261 MCU (RXv3 core, single-precision FPU, 64 MHz, 512 KiB code flash, 128 KiB RAM). It is LabWired's first Renesas RX part.

LabWired runs it on its RX core (the RXv3 instruction set with the ICU in the core), with SCI6 as the console, CMT0-3 and the SYSTEM/FLASH start-up handshakes. Unmodified upstream Zephyr v4.3.0 images for ek_rx261 start at the fixed reset vector:

Script Firmware Result
zephyr-hello.yaml samples/hello_world banner + Hello World! ek_rx261/r5f52618bgfp on SCI6
zephyr-sync.yaml samples/synchronization thread_a / thread_b alternate on CMT0 tick interrupts
zephyr-kernel-common.yaml tests/kernel/common 12 suites, 61 pass + 1 skip (atomics, irq_offload, clock, …)
zephyr-uart-basic-api.yaml tests/drivers/uart/uart_basic_api 7/7 on the interrupt-driven SCI driver (RXI6/TXI6/TEI6 ICU vectors)

Not claimed yet

PORT/MPC pin control (no LEDs or switches), SCI6 ERI (receive-error interrupt), DTC, group interrupts, IRQ pins, the RXv3 register banks, user-mode privilege checks and FPU exceptions. SIM-DERIVED: no bench part.
