4.1. Introduction
HEW is an integrated development tool that allows the user to write, compile, program and debug a software project on any of the Renesas
Microcontrollers. HEW will have been installed during the software installation for the RSK product.
To begin using the RSK, this manual will describe the stages required to create and debug the supplied tutorial code.
4.2. Creating a new Project Workspace
To look at the program, start High-performance Embedded Workshop from the Windows Start Menu (i.e. Start Menu > Programs >
Renesas > High-performance Embedded Workshop > High-performance Embedded Workshop) or from its icon:
Open a new tutorial workspace from the [File -> New Workspace…] menu or select ‘Create a new project
workspace’ when presented with the ‘Welcome!’ dialog.
The example above shows the New Project Workspace dialog with the RSKH8S2215R selected.
• Select the ‘H8S,H8/300’ CPU family and ‘Hitachi H8S,H8/300 Standard’ Tool chain for the RSK
• Select the ‘RSKH8S2215R’ Project type for the RSK from the project list.
• Enter a name for the workspace; all your files will be stored under a directory with this name.
• The project name field will be pre-filled to match the workspace name above; this name may be changed.
Note: HEW allows you to add multiple projects to a workspace. You may add the sample code projects later so you may
wish to choose a suitable name for the Tutorial project now.
