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.

rscasny : Related but something completely different. It sounds like you have good contacts to Renesas. I would be highly interested in roadtesting their (not so) new announced ForgeFPGA line. And it would…

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.

I wish I could. But I am not familiar with this board. This one is not available where I live.

I was preparing to ship these boards to the interested people. Just so you know, we are a very large company. We can't just ship anything out on our own. We first need to submit a request to our Trade & Compliance department, which verifies that we are authorized to ship to your location. The world has a lot of different trade restrictions. So, we submitted it and found out the board cannot be exported. So, I can send it to someone in the U.S., but not outside it. Sorry, but it's out of my control.

HI rscasny

I would be interested In doing a "How To" blog for the Renesas EK-RA6M, that is, if you still have some available. My shipping address has not changed. As you may know, I have completed 2 RoadTest on 2 Renesas evaluation kits, the EK-RA2l1 and the CK-RA6M5. I'd be interested in evaluating the connections capabilities of the kit. I'd like to experiment with the following expansion connectors :

2 SeeedGrove system (I2C) ,

2 Digilent Pmod (SPI and UART),

Arduino,

mikroBUS

I am presently working on a roadtest for the XiLink Kria KV-260 kit, which is coming along nicely.

Regards

Steve K
