| 5 | + |
| 6 | +Overview |
| 7 | +******** |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +The Renesas RA6E1 group uses the high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M33 core with |
| 10 | +TrustZone®. The RA6E1 is suitable for entry IoT applications requiring streamlined |
| 11 | +feature and connectivity integration including Ethernet, and unprecedented performance |
| 12 | +with 790.75 CoreMark, which are 3.95CoreMark / Mhz. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +The key features of the FPB-RA6E1 board are categorized in three groups as follow: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +**MCU Native Pin Access** |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +- 200MHz Arm Cortex-M33 based RA6E1 MCU in 100 pins, LQFP package |
| 19 | +- Native pin access through 2 x 50-pin male headers (not fitted) |
| 20 | +- MCU current measurement point for precision current consumption measurement |
| 21 | +- Multiple clock sources - Low-precision (~1%) clocks are available internal to |
| 22 | + the RA MCU. RA MCU oscillator and sub-clock oscillator crystals, providing |
| 23 | + precision 24.000 MHz (not fitted) and 32,768 Hz reference clocks are also available |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +**System Control and Ecosystem Access** |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +- Two 5V input sources |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + - USB (Debug, Full Speed, High Speed) |
| 30 | + - External power supply (using 2-pin header) (not fitted) |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +- Built-in SEGGER J-Link Emulator On-Board programmer/debugger (SWD) |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +- User LEDs and buttons |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + - Two User LEDs (green) |
| 37 | + - Power LED (green) (not fitted) indicating availability of regulated power |
| 38 | + - Debug/power LED (yellow) indicating power and the debug connection |
| 39 | + - One User button |
| 40 | + - One Reset button |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +- Two popular ecosystems expansions |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + - Two Digilent PmodTM (SPI, UART) connectors (not fitted) |
| 45 | + - Arduino (Uno R3) connector |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +- MCU boot configuration jumper |

| 89 | +Programming and Debugging |
| 90 | +************************* |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +Applications for the ``fpb_ra6e1`` board target configuration can be |
| 93 | +built, flashed, and debugged in the usual way. See |
| 94 | +:ref:`build_an_application` and :ref:`application_run` for more details on |
| 95 | +building and running. |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +Flashing |
| 98 | +======== |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +Program can be flashed to FPB-RA6E1 via the on-board SEGGER J-Link debugger. |
| 101 | +SEGGER J-link's drivers are avaialbe at https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/ |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +To flash the program to board |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | + 1. Connect to J-Link OB via USB port to host PC |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | + 2. Make sure J-Link OB jumper is in default configuration as describe in `FPB-RA6E1 - User's Manual`_ |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | + 3. Execute west command |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | + .. code-block:: console |
| 112 | +
|
| 113 | + west flash -r jlink |
| 114 | +
|
| 115 | +Debugging |
| 116 | +========= |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +You can use Segger Ozone (`Segger Ozone Download`_) for a visual debug interface |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +Once downloaded and installed, open Segger Ozone and configure the debug project |
| 121 | +like so: |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +* Target Device: R7FA6E10F |
| 124 | +* Target Interface: SWD |
| 125 | +* Target Interface Speed: 4 MHz |
| 126 | +* Host Interface: USB |
| 127 | +* Program File: <path/to/your/build/zephyr.elf> |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +**Note:** It's verified that we can debug OK on Segger Ozone v3.30d so please use this or later |
| 130 | +version of Segger Ozone |
