AN0505 - Communicating with a SIM using SCM117

If you’d like to use the SCM117 as a protocol translator or intermediary between the SIM535 and your system you will need to ensure that DIP switch position S1.5 (BOOT) is in the OFF position.

To use the SCM117 communications example project you will need to first download and install Renesas e2studio , the latest KPIT GNURX Toolchain and the Segger J-Link Software and Documentation Pack. Renesas and KPIT require free account registration to use. Additionally, you will need to download the e2studio SHIPWare Comm Demo  ↴  for SCM117.

To use this project, first launch e2studio. Upon starting, it will ask you to provide a path to your project. This is your e2studio workspace. You will need to extract all files from the SHIPWare Comm Demo ZIP file into a location on your hard drive (NOTE: We recommend placing the folders somewhere with a short file path; long paths can cause complications with the compiler). Now, go back to the e2studios dialogue and click 'Browse'. Navigate to the location of the extracted files and then to SHIPWARE_CommDemo_SCM117/Serious/SCM117/SHIPWare/FreeRTOS/ and click 'OK'. After selecting, e2studio may ask you to update your workspace. You may have to restart e2studio on update completion and repeat the previous step.

Once loaded, you should see four projects:
