Overview
Description
The Renesas RA Smart Configurator (RA SC) is a desktop application that helps you in configuring software systems (including a Board Support Package (BSP), drivers, RTOS, and middleware) for RA-Family MCUs when you are using a third-party IDE and toolchain.
You need to download the platform installer included FSP (Flexible Software Package) to use RA Smart Configurator .
For details, see Release Information.

Target Devices
Videos & Training
Configure the controlled current drive (CCD) feature in RA0L1 using the flexible software package (FSP) Smart Configurator to enable flexible current control and support LED brightness adjustment. The setup of CCD parameters and control settings is included, along with the operation for driving LEDs at varying intensity levels. Use of this feature for HMI applications is demonstrated through controlled current output and brightness variation.

Functions
Creating Projects for the IDEs from Renesas Partners
You can create projects for EWARM from IAR Systems or the Keil MDK from Arm.
Creating a Project that Supports TrustZone®
You can create a project that supports TrustZone® or a flat project that does not support TrustZone®
Reading and Changing the State of a Device that Supports TrustZone®
You can read and change the state of a device that supports TrustZone®
For a device that supports TrustZone®, you can use the Renesas Device Partition Manager (RDPM) to check and change the state of the device lifecycle management (DLM), make the memory partition settings, and restore the state of the device to that at the time of shipment.
Setting Pins
You can set pins via a GUI and verify and resolve cases where conflicting functions are assigned to the same pins.
You can set the pins to be used for each peripheral function on the [Pins] page.
The [FSP Visualization] view shows used pins, unused pins, and pins to which conflicting functions are assigned in different colors to allow easy confirmation of the overall state.
Adding and Deleting Threads and Objects
You can add and delete threads, FSP module instances, and kernel objects on the [Stacks] page and change each of the properties in the [Properties] view.
