Overview
Description
The Renesas RA6M1 microcontroller is the entry point to the Renesas RA6 product series for applications that require a high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M4 core at a very attractive price point. The RA6M1 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 RA6M1 is suitable for IoT applications requiring security, large embedded RAM and low power consumption.
Features
- 120MHz Arm® Cortex®-M4
- 512kB Flash memory and 256kB SRAM
- 8kB Data Flash to store data as in EEPROM
- Scalable from 64-pin to 100-pin packages
- Capacitive touch sensing unit
- USB 2.0 Full Speed
- CAN 2.0B
- SCI (UART, Simple SPI, Simple I2C)
- SPI/ I2C multimaster interface
- SDHI
- SSI/Serial sound interface

USB_PORT_OPEN_FAILED (USB PCDC) for RA6M1 controller with FreeRTOS
Hi, I'm currently working on USB PCDC for RA6M1 controller which is configured as a device and runs on full-speed config. Without FreeRTOS, USB read and write operations are working and when i try to add RTOS, R_USB_Open() is returning FSP_ERR_USB_FAILED.

RA6M1: Relocating NVIC to RAM - bus fault on ISR activation?
Hi,I'm trying to relocate the NVIC vectors (both the 16 ARM exceptions and user defined). I'm using IAR, if that makes a difference. The vector area and PC and SP is reserved for the first 0x400 bytes of flash. During startup (before clocks initialization) I do this ...

Temperature Sensor Calibration Data from R_ADC_InfoGet is Incorrect on RA6M1, RA6M2 and RA6M3
On the RA6M1, RA6M2 and RA6M3, the R_ADC_InfoGet function returns UINT32_MAX in the adc_info_t::calibration_data field. On these MCUs read the TSCDR register directly as follows:

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.
