Chapter 10. Code Development
10.1. Overview
Note: For all code debugging using Renesas software tools, the RSK board must be connected to a PC USB port via an E8a.
Due to the continuous process of improvements undertaken by Renesas the user is recommended to review the information provided on
the Renesas website at www.renesas.com to check for the latest updates to the Compiler and Debugger manuals.
10.2. Compiler Restrictions
The compiler supplied with this RSK is fully functional for a period of 60 days from first use. After the first 60 days of use have expired, the
linker will limit the object size to a maximum of 64k code and data. To use the compiler with programs greater than this size you will need
to purchase the full tools from your distributor.
Warning: The protection software for the compiler will detect changes to the system clock. Changes to the system clock back in
time may cause the trial period to expire prematurely.
10.3. Breakpoint Support
This RSK is supplied with an E8a emulator which supports breakpoints in ROM and RAM. Double clicking in the breakpoint column in the
code sets the breakpoint. Breakpoints will be retained unless they are double clicked to remove them. For more details on breakpoints &
E8a functions please refer to the ‘E8A-USB Emulator User’s Manual’.
10.4. Mode Support
High-performance Embedded Workspace connects to the Microcontroller and programs it via the E8a. Mode support is handled
transparently to the user.
