+RA4E2 Evaluation Kit
+####################
+
+Overview
+********
+
+The RA4E2 Group delivers up to 100 MHz of CPU performance using an Arm® Cortex®-M33 core
+with 128 KB of code flash memory, 4 KB of data flash memory, and 40 KB of SRAM. RA4E2 MCUs
+offer high-performance and optimized peripheral functions along with the smallest package
+options, including space-saving 36-pin BGA and 32-pin QFN packages. The RA4E2
+Group offers a wide set of peripherals, including USB Full Speed, CANFD, I3C, and ADC.
+
+The MCU in this series incorporates a high-performance Arm Cortex®-M33 core running up to
+100 MHz with the following features:
+
+**MCU Native Pin Access**
+- R7FA4E2B93CFM MCU (referred to as RA MCU)
+- 100 MHz, Arm® Cortex®-M33 core
+- 128 kB Code Flash, 40 kB SRAM
+- 64 pins, LQFP package
+- Native pin access through 2 x 14-pin and 1 x 40-pin male headers
+- MCU current measurement points for precision current consumption measurement
+- Multiple clock sources - RA MCU oscillator and sub-clock oscillator crystals, providing precision
+20.000 MHz and 32,768 Hz reference clock. Additional low-precision clocks are available internal to the
+RA MCU
+
+**System Control and Ecosystem Access**
+- USB Full Speed Device (micro-AB connector)
+- Three 5 V input sources
+
+	- USB (Debug, Full Speed)
+	- External power supply (using surface mount clamp test points and J31 through holes)
+
+- Three Debug modes
+
+	- Debug on-board (SWD)
+	- Debug in (SWD)
+	- Debug out (JTAG, SWD)
+
+- User LEDs and buttons
+
+	- Three User LEDs (red, blue, green)
+	- Power LED (white) indicating availability of regulated power
+	- Debug LED (yellow) indicating the debug connection
+	- Two User buttons
+	- One Reset button
+
+- Five most popular ecosystems expansions
+
+	- 2 Seeed Grove® system (I3C/Analog) connectors
+	- SparkFun® Qwiic® connector
+	- 2 Digilent PmodTM (SPI and UART) connectors
+	- ArduinoTM (Uno R3) connector
+	- MikroElektronikaTM mikroBUS connector
+
+- MCU boot configuration jumper
+
+**Special Feature Access**
+
+- CAN FD (3-pin header)

+
++-----------+------------+----------------------+
+| Interface | Controller | Driver/Component     |
++===========+============+======================+
+| GPIO      | on-chip    | gpio                 |
++-----------+------------+----------------------+
+| MPU       | on-chip    | arch/arm             |

++-----------+------------+----------------------+
+
+Other hardware features are currently not supported by the port.
+
+Programming and Debugging
+*************************
+
+Applications for the ``ek_ra4e2`` board target configuration can be
+built, flashed, and debugged in the usual way. See
+:ref:`build_an_application` and :ref:`application_run` for more details on
+building and running.
+
+Flashing
+========
+
+Program can be flashed to EK-RA4E2 via the on-board SEGGER J-Link debugger.
+SEGGER J-link's drivers are avaialbe at https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/
+
+To flash the program to board
+
+  1. Connect to J-Link OB via USB port to host PC
+
+  2. Make sure J-Link OB jumper is in default configuration as describe in `EK-RA4E2 - User's Manual`_
+
+  3. Execute west command
+
+	.. code-block:: console
+
+		west flash -r jlink
+
+Debugging
+=========
+
+You can use Segger Ozone (`Segger Ozone Download`_) for a visual debug interface
+
+Once downloaded and installed, open Segger Ozone and configure the debug project
+like so:
+
+* Target Device: R7FA4E2B9
+* Target Interface: SWD
+* Target Interface Speed: 4 MHz
+* Host Interface: USB
+* Program File: <path/to/your/build/zephyr.elf>
+
+**Note:** It's verified that we can debug OK on Segger Ozone v3.30d so please use this or later
+version of Segger Ozone
