Start example project.
Hardware Requirements
• EK-RA4M1 board
• Two Micro USB device cables
Note: EK-RA4M1 includes only one micro USB device cable. The user will need an additional micro USB
device cable for this project.
• A PC with at least 1 USB port
Software Requirements

®
10 operating system

4.1 Connecting and Powering Up the Board
1. Connect the micro USB end of the first micro USB device cable to connector J11 (DEBUG USB located in
the DEBUG area) on the board.
2. Connect the other end of this cable to the USB port of the host PC or a 5 V power source. LED2 (PWR)
on the board lights up solid green, indicating that the board is powered on.
Note: EK-RA4M1 uses SEGGER J-Link
®
as the on-board debugging interface. Make sure that the J-Link
drivers are installed on the PC by checking for them in the Windows Device Manager. If J-Link
drivers are installed on the PC and detected by the board, the LED2 (DEBUG) blinks orange with a
very small duty cycle that is barely noticeable. Otherwise, LED2 (DEBUG) blinks orange
prominently.
3. Connect the micro USB end of the second micro USB device cable to connector J9 (DEVICE USB) on the
board. Connect the other end of the cable to the USB port of the host PC.
