Renesas RA Family: EK-RA4M2 Example Project Bundle

Application Note

Introduction

This document describes the contents of the Example Project Bundle for the EK-RA4M2 kit. The Example Projects contained within the bundle provide example code for the various Renesas Flexible Software Package (FSP) modules supported by the EK-RA4M2 kit.

Flexible Software Package is an optimized software package designed to provide easy to use, scalable, high quality software for embedded system design. The primary goal is to provide lightweight, efficient drivers that meet common use cases in embedded systems. FSP code quality is enforced by peer reviews, automated requirements-based testing, and automated static analysis. FSP provides uniform and intuitive APIs that are well documented. Each module is supported with detailed user documentation including example code. FSP modules can be used on any MCU in the RA family, provided the MCU has any peripherals required by the module. FSP modules also have build-time configurations that can be used to optimize the size of the module for the feature set required by the application.
