4.1 Connecting and Powering Up the EK-RA6M3 Board
1. Connect the micro USB end of the micro USB device cable to micro-AB USB Full Speed port (J11) of the
EK-RA6M3 board.
2. Connect the other end of this cable to the USB port of the host PC. Power LED (LED4) on the EK-RA6M3
board lights up white, indicating that the EK-RA6M3 board is powered on.
Note: If the EK-RA6M3 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 demonstrated because of
the absence of a USB Full Speed Device connection with the host PC.
