Would You Be Interested in Writing a Tutorial How To On a Renesas MCU Board?

I already wrote it . As part of EK-RA2L1 RoadTest I wrote step-by-step tutorial how to use basic and advanced peripherals of the MCU and shown practical development of simple application with this MCU.

 Using I2C, SPI and DMA on Renesas RA2L1 (part 1) 

 Using I2C, SPI and DMA on Renesas RA2L1 (part 2) 

Later as part of Summer of Senors I wrote how to very easily use Renesas ZMOD4510 Air Quality Sensor on their MCU platform:

 Blog #4: Tutorial: Using ZMOD4510 with Renesas EK-RA2L1 and FSP 

RA6M3 is more advanced MCU than RA2L1 but Renesas design MCU in very nice compatible way, so everything which works on lower platform (RA2L1) work on higher family (RA6M3) also.

Maybe someone else can provide tutorials showing other peripherals or some different approach of using RA MCUs.

Except RA2L1 I already own RA6M4 which I used in some projects like  Duratool Cabinet Storage Box Upgrade . RA6M4 is slightly more advanced than RA6M3 but M3 have display driver in advanced to newer M4. Do you want to provide standard EK-RA6M3 kit or kit with display (EK-RA6M3G)?

I've been busy too 

So has Andrew J : Renesas Envision Kit RPBRX65N Roadtest

Yes, you have done some excellent work. Thanks! But there is also room for another tutorial.

Randall

You Have!   And Andrew as well.

The reason why I stopped blogging about the Renesas kit, is that the license is time limited. I still have the hardware, but ran out of software license.
Renesas is an outlier here. Their license runs out for everyone. Side effect is that community bloggers have to stop blogging.

They are an exception. Most microcontroller manufacturers don't end date the development suite after a few months. You can keep on investigating and blogging.
Maybe that explains why Renesas bloggers stop after a road test finished.

Dear Jan, i can help you in this. You can use Keil MDK ARM or Segger Embedded Studio. If you have licensing issues with you existing cross compiler. By the way which cross compiler you are using? Anyhow, You can still use Segger Embedded Studio without any license issues.

Please! note carefully: Free version of  Segger Embedded Studio will access to GCC ARM ( this is open source) & paid version of same will give access to Professional version of Segger cross-compiler.

i sincerely think that this should be able to solve your licensing issues. In your case,Free version of  Segger Embedded Studio should be good enough. 

THANKS

The GCC arm compiler, when I roadtested a Renesas compiler, did not support the encryption and FS modules. Those were only available as a library precompiled for the Renesas toolchain.

I documented it in this blog: 

 Renesas RX65 Envision Kit - part 3: Port an example from Renesas toolchain to GCC 

Understood, But i forgotten one thing that RX65 series of microcontrollers contains propriety core of Renesas instead of  ARM core. That is why GCC ARM doesn't support your encryption and FS modules & it would also will not Core also. Sorry, i would have given support, if Core would would have been of  ARM. 

THANKS    

Agreed, Jan.  I still have the board but don’t really know what to do with it because of the licenses.  It should be really useful given it’s built in LCD but I don’t want to fork out for a licence until I’ve got a genuine use for it, rather than just a play around.  It’s a shame because in many ways it was a useful board for learning embedded computing, something I have to get to grips with.

This issue apply for RX family only. RA have standard ARM Core and I have not seen any time limitation. So feel free to apply if you want to play with Renesas MCU which you can program and develop firmware anytime including support for crypto engine.

It says version 1. This board probably is an earlier version. I'm providing it as is.
