Can it be programed to works as frequency counter if so, what is the maximum frequency it can detect.

Can a BCD decoder circuit be made from the Green PAK ic that get interfaced with the their build in ADC.

What are it's application in which this chip is better than it's counter part and how.

How would you rate the GreenPAK against a PSOC with similar HW devices?

Thanks -

Do you have to use a Pico to program the chips - I would have expected Renesas to have some kind of programmer available ?

I gave it a try on Linux, and confirmed it works. The command to install is simply:

git clone https://github.com/shabaz123/greenpak-utils

You might need to install pyserial if it's not already on your Linux machine:

pip install pyserial

And then just run it using:

python gp_prog.py

Example output:
