Overview

Description

The CK-RA6M5 cloud kit enables users to securely connect to the cloud and explore the features of the Cortex®-M33 based RA6M5 group of MCUs and cloud services. With multiple network connectivity options, the kit provides a seamless cloud connectivity experience to most of the global cloud service providers. It is equipped with an onboard Ethernet PHY for Ethernet connectivity. The kit is available with two options for wireless connectivity – Wi-Fi connectivity using DA16600 Wi-Fi-BLE combo module Pmod and cellular connectivity with RYZ014A LTE CAT-M1 module Pmod. With the Renesas Flexible Software Package (FSP), the kit has complete software stack support using FreeRTOS, Azure RTOS and other middleware stacks, thereby making it an ideal platform for efficiently developing cloud solutions and greatly reducing the time-to-market.
