DECT (Dialog) SC14CVMDECTDEVKT example code and software download?

Anders

Hi there,

I have a client who needs a DECT handset built, but I'm having trouble finding the firmware/software portion of the development kit anywhere. Also I can't seem to find the serial API documentation. Where can I find this?

Any help is appreciated!

    Hi Anders,

    Thank you for posting your question online.
    Please refer on Technical Support Services | Support Forums & Ticket Assistance - Renesas | Renesas

    Please create a private ticket and share any necessary information for this.

    The answer I got from the support team is this:

    "The DECT Documentation and SDK are available in DECT Modules | Renesas 
    You will need to send a request to your access granted by the Audio Support Team."

    I now have the SDK. Most of the 600MB download is Windows-based software, but there are two PDFs that cover the PP and FP serial APIs.

    The package contains an SDK for the SC14 itself, so if you want the SoC to run your application, this should work for you. This package does NOT contain source code for a host-side application that speaks through the SC14CVM's external serial channel (UART or USB-CDC). For external control, the package contains a pre-compiled Windows application that uses the host-side API, but re-writing it from scratch would take a very long time. I got this from tech support:

    "In "SC14CVMDECTDEVKT-SF02" package, you can find two archive files:

    File "Porting to another Host example.rar" file

    This is a porting example to Energy Mico M3 board showing the communication between the host and the CVM module using "SendMail" driver.

    File "SC14CVMDECTDEVKT_v3.1.1_Examples.zip"file

    This file includes examples running as a CVM resident Cola application or host application on window platform.

    For example:

    "CvmCola_FpConfDemo" is the CVM resident Cola application.

    "CvmCon_FpConfDemo" is the host application running on window platform based on the "Sendmail" Example driver."

    Unfortunately searching for "SC14CVMDECTDEVKT-SF02" on the Renesas website yields no download link so I'm stuck. I will share any updates here.

    TL;DR: You must submit a support ticket to get SDK materials for use in building an application that uses the serial host API for this series of DECT parts. The "-SF02" package contains what you need and is not available elsewhere.

    Looking into the first SDK package the user OV_Renesas provided, I found a Windows-based host API application but there was no source code for it. After submitting a tech support ticket, I was sent a secure FTP link to download an additional SDK package (SC14CVMDECTDEVKT-SF02, not included in the first SDK link) that contains source code for a microcontroller-based host API example.

    The Sendmail protocol used in the host API is very complicated. You may have better luck using the SC16 SDK to build your application on the SC16 device itself.
