5.  System Control and Ecosystem Access 
The FPB-RA2E1 provides a power supply regulator, an on-board debugger, simple I/O (switches and LEDs), 
and popular I/O ecosystem connectors. These are all described in detail below. 
5.1  Power 
The FPB-RA2E1 board is designed for +5 V operation. An on-board Low Dropout (LDO) Regulator is used to 
convert the 5 V supply to a 3.3 V supply. The 3.3 V supply is used to power the RA MCU and other 
peripheral features.
