5.2  Debug and Trace 
The FPB-RA2E1 board can be programmed and debugged using the built-in E2 Emulator On-Board 
debugger. 
5.2.1  E2 Emulator On-Board 
Debug USB micro-B connector (CN6) connects the E2 debugger to an external USB full speed host, allowing 
re-programming and debugging of the target RA MCU firmware. 
The E2 Emulator On-Board debugger connects to the target RA MCU using the SWD interface.

A green indicator, LED3, shows the visual status of the debug interface. When the FPB-RA2E1 board is 
powered on, and LED3 is blinking, it indicates that the E2 Emulator On-Board debugger is not connected to 
a programming host. When LED3 is on solid, it indicates that it is connected to a programming interface. 
When LED3 is flickering, it indicates that data is being transferred between the E2 Emulator On-Board 
debugger and the programming host.

5.2.2  External Debugger 
The 10-pin Cortex
®
 Debug Connector at CN4 supports JTAG, SWD and ETM. This connector may be used 
for external debug of the target RA MCU.
