R4 Renesas RA4M1 processor programming?

Hello, I'm learning to program the processor Renesas RA4M1 that is used on the New arduino R4. I think it's close to the same when I'm bootloading my arduino zero clones.

My question is does it program the same way using the Arduino IDE or is there a different bootloader program out there?

I'm not sure I understand.
Are you trying to burn a bootloader to the R4 or just use it with the IDE?
If you "upload" and not "bootload" then yes it is the same but you need to install the board package.

Spend some time here to learn how the R4 works

Seems like you have an almost identical topic already open

Read this before you go any further

Hi @josephchrzempiec.

Unfortunately, no. The "Arduino UNO R4 Boards" platform is not configured for use with Arduino IDE's Burn Bootloader feature. So if you select Tools > Burn Bootloader from the Arduino IDE menus, you will only get an error message:

Property 'bootloader.tool.serial' is undefined

Yes. You can find some instructions here:

@ptillisch thank you very much.

@jim-p yes kind of but one is for hardware and the other software I fix it to reflect that.
