4.1 Connecting and Powering Up the EK-RA4M2 Board
1. Check that J12 is set to link pins 2-3. And that J15 link is closed.
2. Connect the micro USB end of the micro USB device cable to micro-AB USB Full Speed port (J11) of the
EK-RA4M2 board.
3. Connect the other end of this cable to the USB port of the host PC. Power LED (LED4) on the EK-
RA4M2 board lights up white, indicating that the EK-RA4M2 board is powered on.
Note: If the EK-RA4M2 board is not powered through micro-AB USB Full Speed port (J11) and the host
PC, then USB CDC functionality of the Quick Start example project cannot be fully demonstrated
because of the absence of a USB Full Speed Device connection with the host PC.
