Overview
4+
********
5+
6+
The EK-RA4C1, an Evaluation Kit for the RA4 Series, enables users to seamlessly evaluate
7+
the features of the RA4C1 MCU group and develop embedded systems applications using
8+
Zephyr OS. The users can use rich on-board features along with their choice of
9+
popular ecosystems add-ons to bring their big ideas to life.
10+
11+
The key features of the EK-RA4C1 board are categorized in three groups (consistent with
12+
the architecture of the kit) as follows:
13+
14+
**Renesas RA4C1 Microcontroller Group**
15+
16+
- R7FA4C1BD3CFP MCU (referred to as RA MCU)
17+
- 80 MHz, Arm® Cortex®-M33 core
18+
- 512 KB Code Flash, 96 KB SRAM
19+
- 100 pins, LQFP package
20+
- Native pin access through 3 x 26-pin headers (not populated)
21+
- Tamper Detection embedded into J4
22+
- Segment LCD Board Interface
23+
- MCU current measurement points for precision current consumption measurement
24+
- Multiple clock sources – RA MCU oscillator and sub-clock oscillator crystals,
25+
providing precision 8.000 MHz and 32,768 Hz reference clocks. Additional low-precision
26+
clocks are available internal to the RA MCU
27+
28+
**System Control and Ecosystem Access**
29+
30+
- Two 5 V input sources
31+
32+
- USB (Debug)
33+
- External Power Supply 2-pin header (not populated)
34+
35+
- Three Debug modes
36+
37+
- Debug on-board (SWD)
38+
- Debug in (SWD)
39+
- Debug out (SWD, SWO and JTAG)
40+
41+
- User LEDs and buttons
42+
43+
- Three User LEDs (red, blue, green)
44+
- Power LED (white) indicating availability of regulated power
45+
- Debug LED (yellow) indicating the debug connection
46+
- Two User buttons
47+
- One Reset button
48+
49+
- Five most popular ecosystems expansions
50+
51+
- Two Seeed Grove® system (I2C/Analog) connectors (not populated)
52+
- SparkFun® Qwiic® connector (not populated)
53+
- Two Digilent PmodTM (SPI, UART and I2C) connectors
54+
- Arduino™ (UNO R3) connector
55+
- MikroElektronikaTM mikroBUS connector (not populated)
56+
57+
- MCU boot configuration jumper
58+
- Low Voltage Mode voltage input and operation
59+
60+
**Special Feature Access**
61+
- 32 MB (256 Mb) External Quad-SPI Flash
62+
- CAN-FD (3-pin header)
63+
- External Battery Connector
64+
- Configuration Switch
65+
66+

82+
83+
Flashing
84+
========
85+
86+
Program can be flashed to EK-RA4C1 via the on-board SEGGER J-Link debugger.
87+
SEGGER J-link's drivers are avaialbe at https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/
88+
89+
To flash the program to board
90+
91+
1. Connect to J-Link OB via USB port to host PC
92+
93+
2. Make sure J-Link OB jumper is in default configuration as describe in `EK-RA4C1 - User's Manual`_.
94+
Note: SW4-4 needs to be set to OFF
95+
96+
3. Execute west command
97+
98+
.. code-block:: console
99+
100+
west flash -r jlink
101+
