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

ek-ra6m3 I would like to get more Renesas content on element14. I have a Renesas EK-RA6M 3 evaluation kit. If you are interested in writing a tutorial for it, I'll send it to you.

Leave a comment below with what you would like to do with it.

Thanks.

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

part 1: Create an Empty Project

part 2a: Blinky with GCC Toolchain

part 2b: Blinky with Timer and Interrupt

part 3: Port an example from Renesas toolchain to GCC

part 4a: Low Power - Sleep

part 4b: Low Power - Software Standby

part 5: DAC

part 6: Software SHA

part 7: Blinky with FreeRTOS

part 8: DMA

part 9: UART

part 10: Reserve LCD Frame Buffer in Expansion RAM with GCC

part 11: port emWIN to GCC and run an LCD Widget

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.

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.
