Connect a USB cable between the micro USB Serial connector (CN5 UART) on the sub board and a USB port on
the host PC. The board will enumerate in the Device Manager under Ports (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
provide a serial console for the sample applications.
If you have not previously installed another Renesas kit with this virtual serial port driver, or if the board enumerates
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
