RA4E2 Evaluation Kit
|
|
####################
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
The RA4E2 Group delivers up to 100 MHz of CPU performance using an Arm® Cortex®-M33 core
|
|
with 128 KB of code flash memory, 4 KB of data flash memory, and 40 KB of SRAM. RA4E2 MCUs
|
|
offer high-performance and optimized peripheral functions along with the smallest package
|
|
options, including space-saving 36-pin BGA and 32-pin QFN packages. The RA4E2
|
|
Group offers a wide set of peripherals, including USB Full Speed, CANFD, I3C, and ADC.
|
|
|
|
The MCU in this series incorporates a high-performance Arm Cortex®-M33 core running up to
|
|
100 MHz with the following features:
|
|
|
|
**MCU Native Pin Access**
|
|
- R7FA4E2B93CFM MCU (referred to as RA MCU)
|
|
- 100 MHz, Arm® Cortex®-M33 core
|
|
- 128 kB Code Flash, 40 kB SRAM
|
|
- 64 pins, LQFP package
|
|
- Native pin access through 2 x 14-pin and 1 x 40-pin male headers
|
|
- MCU current measurement points for precision current consumption measurement
|
|
- Multiple clock sources - RA MCU oscillator and sub-clock oscillator crystals, providing precision
|
|
20.000 MHz and 32,768 Hz reference clock. Additional low-precision clocks are available internal to the
|
|
RA MCU
|
|
|
|
**System Control and Ecosystem Access**
|
|
- USB Full Speed Device (micro-AB connector)
|
|

|
|
|
- Three Debug modes
|
|
|
|
- Debug on-board (SWD)
|
|
- Debug in (SWD)
|
|
- Debug out (JTAG, SWD)
|
|
|
|
- User LEDs and buttons
|
|
|
|
- Three User LEDs (red, blue, green)
|
|
- Power LED (white) indicating availability of regulated power
|
|
- Debug LED (yellow) indicating the debug connection
|
|
- Two User buttons
|
|
- One Reset button
|
|
|
|
- Five most popular ecosystems expansions
|
|
|
|
- 2 Seeed Grove® system (I3C/Analog) connectors
|
|
- SparkFun® Qwiic® connector
|
|
- 2 Digilent PmodTM (SPI and UART) connectors
|
|
- ArduinoTM (Uno R3) connector
|
|
- MikroElektronikaTM mikroBUS connector
|
|
|
|
- MCU boot configuration jumper
|
|
|
|
**Special Feature Access**
|
|
|
|
- CAN FD (3-pin header)

Programming and Debugging
|
|
*************************
|
|
|
|
Applications for the ``ek_ra4e2`` board target configuration can be
|
|
built, flashed, and debugged in the usual way. See
|
|
:ref:`build_an_application` and :ref:`application_run` for more details on
|
|
building and running.
|
|
|
|
Flashing
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Program can be flashed to EK-RA4E2 via the on-board SEGGER J-Link debugger.
|
|
SEGGER J-link's drivers are avaialbe at https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/
|
|
|
|
To flash the program to board
|
|
|
|
1. Connect to J-Link OB via USB port to host PC
|
|
|
|
2. Make sure J-Link OB jumper is in default configuration as describe in `EK-RA4E2 - User's Manual`_
|
|
|
|
3. Execute west command
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
west flash -r jlink
|
|
|
|
Debugging
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
You can use Segger Ozone (`Segger Ozone Download`_) for a visual debug interface
|
|
|
|
Once downloaded and installed, open Segger Ozone and configure the debug project
|
|
like so:
|
|
|
|
* Target Device: R7FA4E2B9
|
|
* Target Interface: SWD
|
|
* Target Interface Speed: 4 MHz
|
|
* Host Interface: USB
|
|
* Program File: <path/to/your/build/zephyr.elf>
|
|
|
|
**Note:** It's verified that we can debug OK on Segger Ozone v3.30d so please use this or later
|
|
version of Segger Ozone
