| -Clocking in at 200MHz, the RA6M5 is a high-performance microcontroller from [Renesas](https://www.renesas.com/) that is perfect for real-time applications. The [SparkFun Thing Plus - RA6M5](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/24243), is our latest [Thing Plus board](https://www.sparkfun.com/thing_plus) featuring the standard Qwiic connector, JST LiPo battery connector, 21 GPIO pins broken out in a Feather footprint, and status indicator LEDs. At the core is the RA6M5 microcontroller, a low-power Arm^®^ Cortex^®^-M33 processor with an available 512kB of SRAM and 2MB of Flash and an extensive list of peripheral capabilities. Additionally, we have included 16MB of QSPI Flash and an SD card slot on the board, so users won't have to worry about running out of memory space or data storage options. |
| 8 | +The RTK Torch is the latest and greatest generation RTK product from SparkFun Electronics and is your one-stop shop for high-precision geolocation and GIS needs. We compiled our wish list and got it all: tri-band reception, tilt compensation, and a built-in LoRa radio, all protected inside of a waterproof housing. |

| -The SparkFun RA6M5 Thing Plus also features Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity, thanks to the provided DA14531MOD module *(also from Renesas)*. When actively transmitting, the DA14531MOD sips a mere 4mA and is capable of operating from a small coin-cell battery. The firmware provided on the module features Renesas' [SmartBond™ - CodeLess™ AT command](https://lpccs-docs.renesas.com/UM-140-DA145x-CodeLess/index.html) set. Therefore, users only need to send AT commands to configure a Bluetooth connection; without the need to reprogram the module. |
| 10 | +This repo houses the datasheets and technical information for the specific hardware devices inside RTK Torch. For the firmware, see [RTK Everywhere Firmware](https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_RTK_Everywhere_Firmware). This repo also houses the Hookup Guide material. |

| -- While the Thing Plus - RA6M5 does include some 5V tolerant pins, it is primarily a **3.3V** *logic-level* board. |
15 |
| -- While the full capabilities of the RA6M5 support a broad range of features, only a limited set may be implemented, by default, in the [Renesas-Arduino core](https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-renesas). However, the capabilities of the Thing Plus - RA6M5 should be comparable to the [Arduino Portenta C33](https://store.arduino.cc/collections/portenta-family/products/portenta-c33); with the exclusion of WiFi connectivity. |
