Overview
Description
The Renesas RA4M2 group of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) uses the high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M33 core with TrustZone®. In concert with the secure crypto engine, it offers secure element functionality. The RA4M2 is built on a highly efficient 40nm process and is supported by an open and flexible ecosystem concept—the Flexible Software Package (FSP), built on FreeRTOS—and is expandable to use other RTOSes and middleware. The RA4M2 is suitable for IoT applications requiring vast communication options, future proof security, large embedded RAM, and low active power consumption down to 81µA/MHz running the CoreMark® algorithm from Flash.

RA4M2 USB
Hello, I created a small project for USB HMSC. When I inserted a FAT32 formatted 4GB device, it cann't pass the RM_FREERTOS_PLUS_FAT_MediaInit function. I get 0x05DC as MediaInit return value. I atteched the project. Could you help me to run the project properly? Kind Regards ...

USB in callback mode without FreeRTOS on RA4M2
Hello, I am implementing a PVND class device - in polling mode for the moment. Is there any possibility to switch it to interrupt mode (so use the provided callback in the FSP config) without using FreeRTOS ? Looking a bit through the driver, I can remove the #ifdefs in the ...

RA6M1, RA6M2, RA6M3, RA6T1, RA6M4, RA6M5, RA4M2, RA4M3: Can A/D conversion be performed on other analog input?
Yes. Temperature sensor output and internal reference voltage are selectable at the same time as the analog input of the channel. A/D conversion is performed first for the analog input of the channel, next for the temperature sensor output, and then for the internal reference voltage.

Correct Connections for VCL pin on RA4M2 MCUs
You might be confused on what to do with the VCL pin when reading the datasheet. Section 1.5 says: "Connect this pin to the VSS pin by the smoothing capacitor used to stabilize the internal power supply", you might think that you connect VCL to Vss right next to ...
