Renesas Electronics EK-RA6M3G Graphics Evaluation Kit for the RA6M3

Renesas Electronics EK-RA6M3G Graphics Evaluation Kit enables users to seamlessly evaluate the features of the RA6M3 32-Bit Microcontroller (MCU) Group. Users can develop embedded systems applications using the Flexible Software Package (FSP) and e2 studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The included EK-RA6M3 Board features a pre-mounted R7FA6M3AH3CFC MCU, a USB interface that can connect to a PC, connections for expansion options, and an Ethernet RJ-45 RMII interface.

The EK-RA6M3G Graphics Evaluation Kit includes a Graphics Expansion Board with a 4.3" 480 x 272 TFT LCD capacitive touchscreen display. The LED backlight in the TFT display is driven by a backlight controller circuit on the Graphics Expansion Board. The touchscreen display demonstrates the graphics manipulation capabilities of the integrated Graphics LCD Controller and JPEG Decoder modules of the RA6M3 MCU, and enables users to prototype and test Human Machine Interface (HMI) applications.

Flexible Software Package

The Renesas RA Flexible Software Package (FSP) provides a quick and versatile way to build secure connected IoT devices using the Renesas RA Family of Arm microcontrollers. FSP provides production ready peripheral drivers, FreeRTOS, and middleware stacks to take advantage of the FSP ecosystem.
