[Renesas Electronics 200MHz Cortex-M33 RA6E2 Evaluation Board] Unboxing and Development Board Resources Detailed Introduction [Copy link]

Preface

The RA6E2 rapid prototyping board is equipped with the R7FA6E2BB3CFM microcontroller and is an evaluation board specifically designed for prototyping of various applications. The onboard SEGGER J-Link emulator circuit allows programming/debugging of programs without the need for additional tools. In addition, the Arduino Uno and Pmod interfaces are standard, and all pins of the microcontroller can be connected via through-holes, making it highly expandable.

Possess the following basic characteristics:

• Equipped with RA6E2 32-bit microcontroller (64-pin, ROM: 256KB, RAM: 40KB)
• Onboard SEGGER J-Link emulator circuit, no additional tools are required to program/debug
• All pins of the microcontroller can be connected via through-holes
• Arduino Uno and Pmod interfaces are standard
• Supports various RA6E2 software and tools

There was a chance I could get this board as well.

But I missed it because of the nth round of COVID-19 positive~~

Renesas has a lot of board activities. Pay more attention to the official account and forums and there are many opportunities.

Renesas' ARM chips seem to pay more attention to GNU support and are not very fond of Keil. However, the GNU development environment is based on eclipse, which is really annoying.

Renesas' own e2Studio is based on Eclipse+GCC, and I personally feel that eclipse is not very easy to use.

MDK+RASC is still easy to use and is no different from other ARM chip development.

However, Renesas's underlying driver code is indeed too complicated and messy, and is not as concise as STM's standard peripheral library.
