Overview

The RA2L2 Evaluation Kit features the RA2L2 MCU, providing a versatile platform for prototype development across various applications. Designed for ease of use, this evaluation board includes a built-in SEGGER J-Link™ emulator, enabling program writing and debugging without the need for additional tools. It offers extensive expandability with standard interfaces such as Arduino Uno™, Pmod™, Qwiic, Grove® (not included), and mikroBUS™ (not included), as well as through-hole access to all microcontroller pins. Additionally, the kit is equipped with a USB Type-C interface, sink screw terminal, and a VBUS monitor circuit for evaluating the USB Type-C Upstream Facing Port (UFP). Ideal for seamless integration and testing, the RA2L2 Evaluation Kit ensures high flexibility and functionality for developers.
