Renesas H8S2215R 4.3. Build Configurations and Debug Sessions

• Click OK to start the RSK Project Generator wizard.

The next dialog presents the example projects available. Choose the Tutorial code which will be explained later in this manual. There is

also an option for Sample code which provides examples for using various peripherals. This will open a new dialog allowing the selection of

many code examples for the peripheral modules of the device. The final option is for an application build where the debugger is configured

but there is no program code. This project is suitable for the user to add code without having to configure the debugger.

• Select ‘Tutorial’ as the type of project to generate and then click <Next>.

• Click <Finish> to create the project

The project generator wizard will display a confirmation dialog. Press <OK> to create the project and insert the necessary files.

A tree showing all the files in this project will appear in the HEW Workspace window.

• To view the file ‘main.c’, double click on the file in the Workspace window. A new window will open showing the code.

4.3. Build Configurations and Debug Sessions

The workspace that has been created contains two Build Configurations and two Debug Sessions. The Build Configuration allows the

same project to be built but with different compiler options. The options available to the user are described fully in the HEW Users Manual.

The build configurations are selected from the left hand drop down list on the tool bar. The options available are Debug and Release. The

debug build is configured for use with the debugger. The Release build is configured for final ROM-able code.

A common difference between the two builds may be the optimisation settings. With Optimisation turned on the Debugger may seem to

execute code in an unexpected order. To assist in debugging it is often helpful to turn off the optimisation when the code being debugged.

• Select the Debug Build Configuration.

The debug sessions are selected from the right hand drop down list on the tool bar. The options may vary between RSKs however one will

always start Debug and include the type of debug interface. The alternate selection will be ‘DefaultSession’. This purpose of the debug

session is to allow the use of different debugger targets or different debugger settings on the same project.

• Select the ‘Session_H8S_2215R_HMon’ debug

session.
