introduction to SK-S7G2

The SK-S7G2 is a single-board starter kit for the Renesas Synergy S7G2 microcontroller in a 176-pin LQFP package. The board provides easy-to-access interfaces to the peripherals of the S7G2 microcontroller for application development. The SK-S7G2 includes four header connectors for direct access to the S7G2 microcontroller I/O pins. Additionally, the board includes connectors for USB, Ethernet, RS-232/485, CAN, and JTAG J-Link interfaces. The SK-S7G2 includes a 2.4-in. QVGA (240 x 320) TFT display with capacitive touch screen.
