• Over 12,000 projects with Renesas dev boards live now on EmbeddedWiki
• 555 Renesas MCUs supported in NECTO Studio -152 with full mikroSDK support added in February

MIKROE, the embedded solutions company thatdramatically cuts development time by providing innovative hardwareand software products based on proven standards,has launched Clicker 4 for R7FA4M2AD3CFP is a compact, low cost development board designed as a complete, ready-to-go solution for building new products with unique functionalities. At its heart lies the R7FA4M2AD3CFP MCU, the powerful Renesas microcontroller based on the high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M33 32-bit core, operating at frequencies up to 100 MHz.Clicker 4 for R7FA4M2AD3CFP features four mikroBUS™™ sockets and an onboard CODEGRIP programmer and debugger, also pioneered by MIKROE.

CommentsNeb Matic, MIKROE’s CEO: “The four mikroBUS sockets on this Renesas dev board facilitates massive expandability, by allowing designers to combine four Click boards™ from a choice of over allow you 1900 of these application specific boards – the biggest add-on board collection in the world. Click boards are available in 11 categories : Audio & Voice, Clock & Timing, Display & LED, HMI, Interface, Mixed Signal,Motor Control, Power Management, Sensors, Storage and Wireless Connectivity.”

He continues: “Clicker 4 for R7FA4M2AD3CFPis perfect for engineers who need to quickly build and test new concepts using a wide variety of sensor and communication modules. Ideal for creating fully functional, specialized devices where a compact and powerful processing core is essential, this MIKROE Renesas dev board is suitable for industrial monitoring and control units that require reliable ARM-based processing and modular expansion, and also for developing advanced IoT gateways or automation controllers that need to interface with multiple wireless standards simultaneously.”

Driven by the Arm® Cortex®-M33 core, the R7FA4M2AD3CFP provides substantial computational power to handle the most demanding embedded tasks and real-time requirements. The onboard CODEGRIP function enables programming and debugging over USB-C, allowing easy firmware loading and real-time debugging without the need for external hardware. Each section of the Clicker 4 for R7FA4M2AD3CFPboard is clearly marked and organized, ensuring a clean interface that simplifies development and accelerates the prototyping phase. Dedicated onboard power management circuitry results in a stable platform for complex multi-module applications.

The launch of Clicker 4 for R7FA4M2AD3CFP follows on quickly from the signing of a multi-year MCU development tool support deal betweenRenesasand MIKROE. Already, there are 555 Renesas MCUs with bare-metal support in NECTO Studio multi-architectural IDE – 152 with full mikroSDK support –and more than 12,000 projects with Renesas dev boards live now on MIKROE’s EmbeddedWikiembedded projects platform.
