Description

Hi, are there any plans to support the related RA4M2 such as the one used in [This Mikroe Board](https://www.mikroe.com/bdc-afbr-s50-tof-sensor-board)?

[The same board without the ToF sensor](https://www.mikroe.com/bdc-afbr-s50-tof-sensor-board#/301-tof_sensor_board-bdc_afbr_s50_socket) is cheaper at $47, same price as their [RA4M1 Click](https://www.mikroe.com/ra4m1-clicker). CAN BUS, USB, and UART are broken out and it would be interesting for smart drone sensor/hub application.

[A 'Click' version with normal pin headers is available for $53](https://www.mikroe.com/lightranger-7-click#/302-lightranger_7_click-lightranger_7_socket)

[A more traditional RA-Eco-RA4M2](https://file1.elecfans.com/web3/M00/17/83/wKgZPGgLLhiAIXq7AAfKfrP5iV8842.png) dev board with a lot more pins is [available on Aliexpress for ~$33](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008848640555.html)
