Overview

The EK-RA4C1 evaluation kit enables users to evaluate the features of the RA4C1 MCU Group and develop embedded system applications using Renesas' Flexible Software Package (FSP) and e2 studio IDE. Users can utilize rich onboard features and select the popular ecosystem add-ons to implement many applications including but not limited to human machine interface (HMI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). To further accelerate evaluation of key peripherals, and proof-of-concept development, users can also download a bundle of example projects from the Renesas website.

This kit includes a 4COMx40SEG segment LCD board and an EK-RA4C1 board. A quick-start demo is pre-loaded onto the kit to showcase RA4C1's most prominent features. The demo enables users' evaluation immediately after unboxing, and can be used as a reference for their designs.
