Overview
Description
The MCB-RA8T2 CPU board for motor control is equipped with the RA8T2 MCU. Motor control evaluation using the RA8T2 can be easily achieved by combining it with a supported inverter board. Additionally, users can connect a compatible communication board to the CPU board to electrically isolate the CPU board from the PC, ensuring safe motor control evaluation and debugging. The CPU board can also be used independently for evaluation or connected with an existing user board to evaluate the MCU pin functions.

... thread? How is the access to the shared r_layer3_switch synchronized? A simple search for mutex or semaphore came up blank. And, for the MCB-RA8T2 the MDC&MDIO lines to the two PHYs are shared. On top of that, the example application is also polling the PHY ...
