Overview
Description
The EK-RA6M1 evaluation kit enables users to effortlessly evaluate the features of the RA6M1 MCU Group and develop embedded systems applications using Renesas' Flexible Software Package (FSP) and various IDEs.
Getting Started
Running the Quick Start Example Project
- The EK-RA6M1 board comes pre-programmed with a Quick Start example project (Provided with the example projects bundle).
- Power up the EK-RA6M1 board through the USB debug port (J11) using the micro USB device cable connected to a 5V power source. The green power LED will light up.
- The Quick Start example project will begin to execute blinking the red user LED.
- Refer to the EK-RA6M1 – Quick Start Guide (PDF) to explore additional functionality of the Quick Start example project.
Developing Embedded Applications
- Modifying the Quick Start example project – Refer to the EK-RA6M1 Quick Start Guide for instructions on importing, modifying, and building the Quick Start example project.
- Start with one of the many other example projects (Provided in the example projects bundle) – Choose from many example projects to learn about different peripherals of the RA6M1 MCU Group. These example projects can serve as excellent starting points for you to develop your custom applications.
Building Custom Hardware
- Start by building a functional prototype - Utilize the EK-RA6M1 board with your choice of ecosystem add-ons.
- Build custom hardware – Develop custom hardware by referring to the design and manufacturing information provided in the EK-RA6M1 v1 - Design Package (ZIP | English, 日本語)

- Some Questions for Bootloader on R7FA6M1AD3CFM (Test on EK-RA6M1)I'm currently trying to create the MCU Boot project for the RA6M1 As a guide I use the document https://www.renesas.com/us/en/document/apn/ra6-basic-secure-bootloader-using-mcuboot-and-internal-code-flash from Renesas. I have my blinking application runs and also the MCU Boot part is also on the controller, that's mean, if I set the Boot / Config Jumper to Boot position I can see the USB-Device in my windows device manager But I can't use XModem to transfer the new blinking appication. But this should not be part of my question, because you should not do my troubleshooting here. Rather, I want to know, with this jumper I operate the MD pin to jump into the bootloader part, right? If I haven't this PIN on the outside of my bord, is there still a way to get into this mode via software to address the bootloader part? Or does anyone know of a way to implement a bootloader that only works with the jumper setting internal flash. And I can use the XMODEM on a Serial Interface like UART? Thanks for your help and I hope you understand my english !
