    N.C. Ground A yellow indicator LED4 provides a visual status of the state of the debug interface. When AIK-RA4E1 is powered on, and LED4 is blinking, this indicates that the RA4M2 J-Link OB is not connected to a programming host. When LED4 is on solid, this indicates that the RA4M2 J-Link OB is connected to a programming interface.
