the hostPC. The board willenumerate inthe Device Manager underPorts (COM &LPT) Communications Port
(COMn) as “RZA USB Serial Port”. The micro USB Serial connector (CN5 UART) on the sub board may be used to
providea serialconsole forthe sample applications.
If you have not previously installed another Renesas kit with this virtual serial port driver, or if the boardenumerates
as an “Unknown device,”then disconnect the board and install the “RZ/A2M Evaluation Board Kit inf File for USB to
Serial Conversion IC” available from https://www.renesas.com/software/D6002724.html

19. To learn more onhow touse e2 studio, openthe program’s help filesby using Help> Help Contents.
4. Next Step
20. In the e2 studio Welcome screen, click the ‘Workbench’ arrow icon, on the farright.
You are ready to download and program an application from the RZ/A2M Simple Applications Package
(R01AN4494EJ).
21. Select one of the available application notes, and follow the instructions in the readme files,ensuring the correct
switch and jumpersettingsare made before applying power. Recommendations:
● If you have a display supporting 800x600 input,accessthe camera_display_sample (R01AN4477EJ).
● If you want to quickly check the kit’s operation, access the blinky_osfree_sample (R01AN4321EJ).
