Let $M$ be a free right $R$-module. When $M_R\cong R_R^n$ with $n\in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1}$, then we know that the endomorphism ring $E={\rm End}(M_R)$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{M}_n(R)$. We also know that $\mathbb{M}_{n}(R)$ is generated as a ring by its idempotents, when $n\geq 2$. Is $E$ generated by its idempotents if $M$$M_R$ is not a finitely generated free $R$-module?

Does endomorphism ring of any free $R$-module equal to Is $I(M_{n}(R))$? or$E$ generated by its idempotents if $M$ must beis not a finitely generated free $R$-module?
