Hi Kulkarni A1) You can find the difference between H3/M3 SoC specification from the following PDF. https://www.renesas.com/us/en/doc/products/rcar/R-Car_StarterKit_Gen3_H3_M3_DEV_Rev.053.pdf For example, H3 has 8CPU core (A57 x 4 and A53 x4), M3 has 6CPU cores (A57 x 2 and A53 x4). H3 has 4 channels of Bus Controller, M3 has 2 channel, etc... & H3 Starter Kit has 4GB memory of DDR, M3 has 2GB DDR. A2) YES! Notice: If you have H3 ws1.1, it is not support latest AGL(https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/H3SK#Limitation) A3) YES. Starter Kit is default board and AGL support it. Kingfisher is optional board. No mandatory if you use simple application. A4) YES. Be careful, you should be enable kernel config for your USB dongle, like as it. https://git.automotivelinux.org/AGL/meta-agl/tree/meta-agl-bsp/recipes-kernel/linux/linux/ath9k_htc.cfg?h=eel A5) YES. You can find license terms and conditions page when you download graphics binary and driver. Please observe the license agreement. Best regards Kurokawa.

On Behalf Of P M Kulkarni via automotive-discussions Hi all,
I have recently joined AGL and gone through some of its documentation. I would like to know some information about
the Renesas M3 starter Kit which is being used as a Reference BSP by AGL. 1. Other
than the h/w feature and performance superiority of Renesas H3 over Renesas M3 starter Kit, are there any specific advantages of using the H3 over M3 from AGL’s
perspective considering ease of support for h/w, ease of supporting future high end applications etc.
2. I presume that both of
these kits shall be supported by AGL for their future releases. 3. Other
than supporting in-vehicular network (CAN, MOST etc.) + WiFi + FM radio support + camera features which is possible through using the Kingfisher extension board, I presume both the M3 and H3 starter kits should suffice for a simple, standalone Infotainment
application with reasonably good audio o/p (HP) and audio i/p (microphone). Is this understanding correct?
4. Do the latest AGL releases,
EE onwards support Wi-Fi using WiFi-USB dongles on M3 and H3 starter kit boards?
5. The AGL WiKi documentation
“agl-distro” mentions about a “Note
1 : …… A full M3 ULCB binary is unavailable due
to Renesas License restrictions on the graphics driver……”. Other
than the need to register to Renesas web-site to download these drivers, are there any License restrictions for its use in development on M3, H3 starter kit platforms? Can you please elaborate on the same?
Regards, P. M. Kulkarni |
