studio 3.1 Release Note
Rev 1.0, Jan 21st, 2015 Page 8
 Improved progress controls have been implemented when the system is busy
to better inform the user the status of what is happening.
RZ Debugger
The RZ debugger has been improved to add hardware eventpoint support.
Renesas RTOS
plugin
Plugins have been added to support the RI600V4 Renesas RTOS. Views have been
added that can show RTOS resource usage and task analysis.
In addition special support has been added to the project generator to assist the user
to generate and build RI600V4 RTOS projects.
Project Import
A new feature has been added that allows users to import and change the name of
the project in one operation. This makes it much easier to copy and clone a project
to another name. This is available from the File->Import menu item.
Language support
Chinese language support has been added for the menus.
ARM DS-5
Project Import
e
2
studio 3.1 implements a project import facility from the KPIT RZ GCC DS-5
projects into the equivalent support in e
2
studio. This feature will be made available
via the standard Eclipse import function. This import facility also changes the RZ
toolchain projects to the generic naming of the ARM GCC toolchain.
Note the ARM toolchain DS-5 projects will not be supported by this import function.
Partner OS plugin
A new view named the Partner OS view has been provided in e
2
studio 3.1. This
view provides simple RTOS support for 3
rd
party RTOS vendors. In 3.1 there is
support for Micrium and Segger included.
HEW Import
The HEW import facility has been enhanced to include a “Emulate HEW link order”
feature. This allows the user to select whether e
2
studio should change its standard
link order to emulate that used in HEW. Some customers have experienced project
build issues due to the difference in link order between HEW and e
2
studio.
IO Registers
The IO register window is now linked to the smart manual so that information on
registers can be displayed when hovering over IO registers in the view.
Optimization
Assistant
The Optimization Assistant is a new plugin provided within e
2
studio to guide the user
which build options are best for their project.
The Optimization Assistant plug-in provides recommended build option sets for each
optimization level. The Optimization Assistant plug-in builds the selected
configurations, and this plug-in acquires information about the build such as ROM
size, function size and so on.
This plug-in then displays the following information in the view:
1. Displays a total value of the ROM size for each configuration graphically.
2. Displays the size of each function or file by a table.
