This manual is designed to answer, in tutorial form, the most common questions asked about using a Renesas Starter Kit (RSK): The
tutorials help explain the following:
• How do I compile, link, download, and run a simple program on the RSK?
• How do I build an embedded application?
• How do I use Renesas’ tools?
The project generator will create a tutorial project with two selectable build configurations
• ‘Debug’ is a project built with the debugger support included.
• ‘Release’ build demonstrating code suitable for release in a product.
Files referred to in this manual are installed using the project generator as you work through the tutorials. The tutorial examples in this
manual assume that installation procedures described in the RSK Quick Start Guide have been completed. Please refer to the Quick Start
Guide for details of preparing the configuration.
NOTE: These tutorials are designed to show you how to use the RSK and are not intended as a comprehensive introduction to
the High performance Embedded Workshop (HEW) debugger or the compiler tool-chains – please consult the relevant user
manuals for more in-depth information.
