Renesas Electronics EK-RA8M2 Evaluation Kit
Renesas Electronics EK-RA8M2 Evaluation Kit is developed to quickly and easily evaluate the RA8M2 microcontrollers. The RA8M2 Microcontrollers feature the Arm® Cortex®-M85 and -M33 cores, delivering breakthrough performance of up to 7300 Coremark and fully deterministic, low-latency, real-time operation that meets the most demanding application requirements. The RA8M2 are ultra-high-performance, general-purpose, and graphics MCUs as part of the 2nd generation of the RA8 Series. The RA8M2 is based on the 22nmULL process and increases performance by a magnitude of 1GHz on the CM85 core and 250MHz on the CM33 core. The devices are supplied in large 176-pin LQFP, 224-pin, and 289-pin BGA packages, supplying users with ample I/O for real-time control needs. The RA8M2 is set apart with advanced security with TrustZone®, secure boot, immutable storage, and tamper protection features.Features
