Edit and Execute program

How to use

Launch Tera Term, select the recognized COM port, select the Setup – Serial port menu, select 115200 for Baud rate, and press Enter. You should see the MicroPython REPL prompt >>.
- Supports RA4M1 and RA6M2 (RA4W1 and RA6M1 have not been tested). You can run MicroPython programs from this console.

import pyb
while True:
  pyb.LED(1).toggle()
  pyb.delay(50)

When copy and paste an indented program, it is convenient to press Ctrl-E and then Paste.
Run the program with Ctrl-D.
Stop the program with Ctrl-C.
Then press Ctrl-D to reboot the software.

In the implementation of the target board, the built-in Flash and SD card can be used as storage.
Built-in flash
- RA4M1 Clicker 0x00037000 to 36KB, EK-RA6M2 0x000E0000 to 256KB
At startup, it becomes the default folder of "/flash", and after initialization, two files, boot.py and main.py, are placed.
- You can run the program at startup by updating main.py.
To use the SD card, you need to connect the SD card separately. (Details will be explained separately). In that case, the "/sd" folder will be the default folder.

import os
os.listdir('/')

In addition to TeraTerm, Visual Studio Code and Pymakr extension can also be used to edit MicroPython programs.

Install Visual Studio Code
- https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/
Install Nodejs (16.9.5 or later)
The latest version is probably fine
- https://nodejs.org/
Install the Pymakr extension in Visual Studio Code
- Click the extended menu icon at the left menu and enter Pymakr in the search field for EXTENSIONS: MARKET PLACE to install
Open Device Manager on Windows and confirm USB-to-Serial Comm port manufacturer name to connect the target board.
Register the manufacturer name in the Pymakr extension file
- In the "Command Palette..." of View menu, select "Pymakr > Global settings" and insert the manufacturer name to the top of the list for "autoconnect_comport_manufacturers" in the pymakr.json file.
- For example, if you want to connect the "Prolific" comport in the Device Manager, insert "Prolific" to the top of the list as follows:

Click "Pymakr Console" in Pymakr menu at left-bottom or restart Visual Studio Code, then COM port is automatically searched and connected:
If you want to connect manually, specify "COM9" for "address" and "false" for "auto_connect", then click "Pymakr Console" in Pymakr menu to connect/disconnect.
```
  ...
  "address": "COM9",
  ...
  ...
  "auto_connect": false,
  ...
```

Please refer to File operations in MicroPython Library for file operations such as "Donwload" to hostPC and "Upload" from hostPC.

Install Jupyter Notebook

Python 3.8.8

python -m pip install jupyter
pip install --upgrade jupyter_client
pip install jupyter_micropython_kernel
jupyter kernelspec list
jupyter notebook

The browser will start
Select “MicroPython – USB” from New at the top right of the page
Enter the following command in a cell of the new page
```
%serialconnect to –port=COMx –baud=115200
```
MicroPython code can be executed in cells
