Known Issues

RA0E1:
- e2 studio projects automatically reset compiler optimization to a Size setting on every generate or build operation
  - Add optimization flags (e.g. -O0) manually to 'Other optimization flags' to override the -Oz setting
- HS400x, ZMOD4xxx and OB1203 sensors cannot be used on RA0E1
- FS1015 and FS3000 sensors do not support SAU-I2C driver
Selecting 'Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media' on Windows and eject the mass storage (PMSC), when using USBX composite device (PCDC+PMSC), the Windows Explorer for PMSC does not disappear.
PMSC may not work properly when USBX Composite Device(PCDC+PMSC) is connected to specific Linux OS (USB Host).
EWARM support for RA8E1
- EWARM version 9.60.2 does not contain support for RA8E1. To develop with IAR for this device, it is necessary to install support patch files (arm_Renesas_R7FA8xx_patch_20240812_1.zip) which can be downloaded by EWARM v9.60.2 users from the IAR MyPages system.
e2 studio Platform Installer:
- When doing a Custom Install, compilers must be manually selected on the Additional Software step. Otherwise, the user must separately source, install, and integrate the toolchains in e2 studio.
