Renesas RZ/A2M Evaluation Board
ARM Cortex-A9 @ 528 MHz

M13design RZ/A2M-EK is a complete evaluation and development platform for the Renesas Electronics® based RZ/A2M Cortex®-A9 R7S921043VCBG microprocessor. The full range of the hardware features on the board helps users to quickly evaluate all the available peripherals (10/100-Mbit Ethernet, microSDTM card, USB host/device, Audio codec with 4-pole Jack, SDRAM, HyperRAM™ and HyperFlash™, Quad-SPI Flash memory, 4.3-inch colour LCD-TFT with capacitive touch panel, and many others) and to develop their custom applications. PMOD™ and mikroBUS™ connectors make it possible to easily extent the boards features (Sensors, communication and network modules and many more). The integrated JLink-OB debug probe provides in-circuit debug and programming for the RZ/A2M device and also a built-in VCOM functionality.
