1. Kit Overview
The EK-RA6M5, an Evaluation Kit for RA6M5 MCU Group, enables users to seamlessly evaluate the
features of the RA6M5 MCU group and develop embedded systems applications using Flexible Software
Package (FSP) and e

studio IDE. The users can utilize rich on-board features along with their choice of
popular ecosystems add-ons to bring their big ideas to life.
The key features of the EK-RA6M5 board are categorized in three groups (consistent with the architecture of
the kit) as follows:
MCU Native Pin Access
• R7FA6M5BH3CFC MCU (referred to as RA MCU)
• 200 MHz, Arm
®
Cortex
®
-M33 core
• 2 MB Code Flash, 512 kB SRAM
• 176 pins, LQFP package
• Native pin access through 4 x 40-pin male headers
• MCU current measurement points for precision current consumption measurement
• Multiple clock sources - RA MCU oscillator and sub-clock oscillator crystals, providing precision
24.000 MHz and 32,768 Hz reference clock. Additional low-precision clocks are available internal to the
RA MCU
System Control and Ecosystem Access
• USB Full Speed Host and Device (micro AB connector)
• Four 5 V input sources
USB (Debug, Full Speed, High Speed)
External power supply (using surface mount clamp test points and power input vias)
• Three Debug modes
Debug on-board (SWD)
Debug in (ETM, SWD, and JTAG)
Debug out (SWD)
• User LEDs and buttons
Three User LEDs (red, blue, green)
Power LED (white) indicating availability of regulated power
Debug LED (yellow) indicating the debug connection
Two User buttons
One Reset button
• Five most popular ecosystems expansions
