Renesas HEW Target Host Computer Requirements, HTS Demo Kit Board, Software Development Tools

5.1. Host Computer Requirements

The minimum requirement to be able to use the software that comes with the HTS Demo Kit is a PC with a USB port and Microsoft Windows XP or Vista.

5.2. HTS Demo Kit Board

The HTS Demo Kit board provides an evaluation and development environment for the M16C family MCUs. See section “6.0 Hardware” for more details.

5.3. Software Development Tools

The installer program installs all the development tools. For details on installation, see the QuickStart Guide. A brief description of all the included tools follows. Please refer to the individual tool manuals for detailed information.

5.3.1. HEW (High-performance Embedded Workshop)

HEW provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that integrates the software development tools and includes the C-compiler, assembler, linker, debugger and editor.

5.3.2. NC30WA Evaluation Version C Compiler

The evaluation version of the M3T-NC30WA C-compiler is provided with the same functionality as the commercial version except that link size will be restricted to 64 kBytes after 60 days from when you begin using the compiler. Contact your local sales representative if you wish to purchase a full license.

5.3.3. HEW Debug Interface

HEW communicates with a kernel (i.e. a ROM monitor program) on the target MCU through the ICD. This debug interface provides a highly efficient evaluation environment. Features include:

•Source-level debugging for assembly and C language

•Single-step command (unlimited breakpoints)

•Run command with 6 breakpoints* for the M16C/26A

•RAM monitor function

•C variable “watch” window

*Note: The number of breakpoints will vary depending on the M16C Flash MCU used.

5.3.4. Flash Development Toolkit

The Flash Development Toolkit Programmer application provides In-System Programming capability for the starter kit or any target board using an M16C family Flash MCU (e.g. R8C, M16C, M32C). Please see the Flash Development Toolkit User Guide for more details.
