- RA Configuration editor now generates correct configuration for COMPSEL0 and does not overwrite register setting for ACMPLP.
- In the RA Configuration editor, the ADC module displayed an error if a callback was provided in continuous mode. This has been removed.
- There were build errors when adding AGT without using BLE. AGT will now build under both scenarios.
- The QSPI documentation stated that SEGGER J-Link supported programming QSPI chips on Port 5 when it is actually Port 3.
- Mbed Crypto can now be brought into RA4 and RA2 projects using the RA Configuration editor.
Known Issues
- Issue
USB basic parameter checking cannot be enabled. - Issue
The USB driver does not work properly when the USB interrupt priority level is higher priority than the configMAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY macro value.
Workaround
Specify a lower priority for the USB interrupt priority than the configMAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY macro value. - Issue
BLE software does not support timeout feature of RM_BLE_ABS_StartScanning().
Workaround
Set a timer on your own for your scan duration. - Issue
USB HHID module on the RA6M3 does not work on the USBHS peripheral in this release.
Workaround
Use USBFS for USB HHID. - Issue
USB suspend operation in host mode is not supported. - Issue
When creating services for a custom profile in the R_BLE Custom Profile RA (QE) View, if you create multiple services with the same UUID or the same abbreviation, the GUI may behave incorrectly.
Workaround
Do not use duplicate UUIDs or abbreviations. - Issue
There may be build errors when using Mbed TLS and Mbed Crypto in a project. For example, when using Secure Sockets on WiFi or Ethernet. This is due to an include path ordering issue.
Workaround
Change the order of the include paths for your project such that the include for "ra/arm/mbedtls/include" is after the include for "ra/arm/mbed-crypto/include".

Bug Fixes
- The r_sdhi module was not able to properly set the activation event for the r_dmac module when r_dmac was chosen as its dependency.
- The BSP for RA2 parts did not fully follow the flow chart for turning off the TRNG out of reset.
- The interrupts in r_sci_i2c were not populated correctly in the generated i2c_master_cfg_t structure.
- The LPM snooze cancel source was not available in the configuration tool, and the enumeration options were incorrect for RA4 and RA2 devices.
- R_RTC_PeriodicIrqRateSet could cause the application to hang.
- Multiple selections are available for LPM wake sources, GPT input sources, ADC channels, and KINT channels. These properties are not backward compatible and must be reconfigured.
- The period calculation for r_gpt and r_agt could generate build errors for some configurations.
- The KSZ8091RNB PHY initialization code for for the EK-RA6M3 incorrectly configured the PHY for 50MHz mode when it should have been 25MHz.
- The ADC was not functional on RA6M1 because the PGA was not initialized.
- Added missing externs to generated SPI structure header.
- The Activation Source property in the XML for r_dtc was a text field instead of a list. This could cause build errors if the text did not match a vector in the system.
- Fixed an issue where Snooze mode was not being enabled correctly on RA2 devices.
- In bsp_clock_init, R_BSP_SoftwareDelay() was being called before SystemCoreClockUpdate(). This had undefined behavior if sub-clock was chosen as the source clock in the BSP.
- For GCC projects, both malloc and the FreeRTOS memory allocation prvPortMalloc allocate memory from the same memory pool. Existing GCC projects need to update the linker script so that __HeapBase is defined at the start of g_heap (from startup.o).
- The transfer_info::irq setting was previously hard coded to TRANSFER_IRQ_EACH for DMAC. transfer_info_t::irq setting can now be configured for TRANSFER_IRQ_EACH, or TRANSFER_IRQ_END.
- The Activation Source property in the XML for r_dtc was a text field instead of a list. This could cause build errors if the text did not match a vector in the system.
- Configuration ID changed for GPT "Duty Cycle Range" configuration (not backwards compatible).
- Writes to FIFO transmit register are updated in the driver implementation to fix the UART write failure on RA2A1 with FIFO enabled.
- Added data flash enable for LP devices to R_BSP_WarmStart. Data flash will now only be enabled in the r_flash_lp module if it was not already enabled previously.
- Fixed issue with improper generation of parameter checking macro for rm_wifi_onchip_silex.
- When configuring the VREF pins on RA4M1, the pin configuration showed errors and the generated pin data was incorrect.
- FreeRTOS was using BSP_CFG_IRQ_MASK_LEVEL_FOR_CRITICAL_SECTION to set basepri in vPortEnterCritical. It has been changed to use configLIBRARY_MAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY.
- The "MCU Vcc (mV)" option in the BSP properties would not allow a VCC entry larger than 4.6V. This has been fixed to allow up to 5.5V.
- When using the AC6 compiler, heap size is configured using Heap Size on the BSP tab instead of in the <mcu>.scat scatter file. Existing projects must update the scatter file to use this change.
Known Issues
- Issue
When provisioning the device using the AWS-provided vAlternateKeyProvisioning(), a build error will occur because of a missing function.
Workaround
Download mbedtls_util.c and add the file to your application build. - Issue
The AWS Device Provisioning code writes directly to data flash. The Mbed Crypto persistent storage littlefs module also writes to data flash. Using both of these features in the same project will cause data corruption.
Workaround
Modify rm_littlefs_flash_cfg.h to add a new definition "#define RM_LITTLEFS_FLASH_DATA_START" and define it to a sufficient offset such that there is enough space for the AWS Device Provisioning credentials at the beginning of data flash. For example, a RSA2048 private key and a certificate in PEM format takes up about 1700 and 1100 bytes respectively. It is also necessary to change the "block count" value in "LittleFS on Flash" module to reflect the reduced data flash size that can be utilized by littlefs. - Issue
The default values for the "LittleFS on Flash" needs to be modified. The default value for "Block Size (bytes)" is 128 when it should be 64 bytes. The default value of "Block Count" is 1024 which will vary depending on the MCU being used.
Workaround
In the module properties for "LittleFS on Flash" change "Block Size (bytes)" to 64. Also, change "Block Count" such that Block Size multiplied by Block Count is the size of the data flash on the MCU.

Known Issues
- Issue
When using the AC6 compiler, modifying the Heap Size on the BSP tab of the configuration tool has no effect.
Workaround
Update the heap size in the ARM_LIB_STACKHEAP section of the linker scatter file .scat. - Issue
GPT configurations in the Input section of the RA configuration tool should support multiple selections, but currently only support a single selection.
Workaround
Copy and modify the generated gpt_extended_cfg_t to select as many sources as required by the application. Copy and modify the generated timer_cfg_t to point to the modified gpt_extended_cfg_t. - Issue
When more than one touch instances are used, data for the second instance is not displayed correctly by the monitoring feature of the QE tool.
Workaround
Do not use the QE tool to monitor more than one instances.
