RZ/A2M Evaluation Kit
Overview
The RZ/A2M Evaluation Board Kit is a best evaluation board kit to evaluate RZ/A2M.
On-board device: RZ/A2M (R7S921053VCBG: with DRP function, without encryption function, internal RAM 4MB) Evaluation of DRP (Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor) is possible.
MIPI Camera Module (MIPI CSI) is bundled and image recognition processing etc. can be used with images input with MIPI camera.
HyperMCP (Multi-chip package), in which HyperFlash and HyperRAM are installed in one package, is mounted. HyperFlash and HyperRAM can be evaluated.
A Display Output Board is included and the graphic output is possible by connecting it to the external display.
It is possible to evaluate 2ch Ethernet communication.
Other peripheral functions such as SDHI and USB can also be evaluated.
Allows for safe and secure connection to the AWS cloud. HyperFlash and HyperRAM are trademarks of Cypress Semiconductor Corporation of the U.S.

Applications for the rza2m_evk board configuration can be
built and flashed in the usual way (see Building an Application
and Run an Application for more details).
Console
The UART port is accessed by USB-Serial port (CN5).
Building & Flashing
Here is an example for building and flashing the Hello World application.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b rza2m_evk samples/hello_world
