We provide you with an easy-to-use, scalable development environment and comprehensive support services for your development needs.
Renesas Electronics supports all aspects of application development for the RL78 family with products such as the integrated development environment CubeSuite+, real-time OSes, and programming tools. CubeSuite+ makes the full range of tasks related to coding, building, and debugging software straightforward and intuitive, dramatically reducing the time required for development.
Notes: 1. The integrated development environment is CubeSuite+. 2. The E20 emulator may be used as well, but the supported debugging functions are equivalent to those of the E1. 3. This is a programmer for flash MCUs from Renesas. 4. Used together with a programming GUI (provided free of charge). 5. Used together with the programming software Renesas Flash Programmer (a free evaluation version is available).
* CubeSuite+ is not generally promoted to the U.S. and European customers. Customers in the U.S. and Europe who are interested in CubeSuite+ are requested to contact our regional marketing departments for details. * For details about which emulators can be used with each MCU and emulator specifications, see here. The emulator that can be used might differ depending on the MCU part number.
Renesas will offer the new integrated development environment, the CubeSuite+, which provides unified support for the company's MCUs with 8-bit through 32-bit architectures. It powerfully supports an application development for the RL78 family.
Want to start evaluating the RL78 right away? The Renesas Starter Kit is just what you need. It brings together in a single package all the development tools needed for microcontroller evaluation and initial implementation. The control signals from the microcontroller are output to the expansion board interface of the CPU board, allowing connection to the target system under development for easy debugging.

This target board is for testing RL78 microcontroller applications using the E1 on-chip debugging emulator (sold separately). It can be used for testing at all stages of development, from software development though actual system operation. All pins of the microcontroller are assigned to peripheral port connectors, making it possible to build evaluation circuits using commercially available universal wiring boards.
Three approaches to debugging Three approaches to a debugging environment are available for your development needs.
1．Debugging on a PC
[Simulator for CubeSuite+ of RL78 Family, 78K0R and 78K0] Learn more about this product This simulator enables the source-level debugging of applications on our integrated development environment CubeSuite+ even before the target system becomes available.
It is provided with diverse break functions and coverage measurement.
It allows you to evaluate software modules almost as if they were running on the actual system board.
Intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) operability makes your debugging environment highly user-friendly.
2．Debugging with basic functions
[E1 emulator] Learn more about this product Basic debugging capabilities at an inexpensive price. This emulator also supports on-chip trace functionality. 1
Simple to connect. Allows debugging via a connection to the RL78 mounted in the system under development.
Can also be used with Renesas Electronics microcontrollers other than the RL78.
USB bus powered. No external power supply required.
Also functions as a flash programmer.
Environmentally friendly. All materials from the components to the packaging are RoHS compliant.
Note: 1. The on-chip trace function is supported only on versions of the RL78/G14 with a ROM size of 96 KB or more (under development).
* The E20 emulator may be used as well, but the supported debugging functions are equivalent to those of the E1.
This programmer allows erasing, programming, and verifying of the software on the target system or a program adapter.
Features such as a self-diagnostic function and microcontroller security settings (erasure prevention, reprogramming prevention, etc.) provide peace of mind.
Improved functions for production lines (support for on-board/off-board programming and standalone programming).
Compact and space-saving. Easy-to-operate key layout.
3．Ordering pre-programmed ROM (planned)
Pre-programmed flash memory products from Renesas Electronics
A wide variety of products for the RL78 family, such as compilers and programmers, are available from partner tool vendors. These products enable the RL78 family to be used in an even broader range of applications.
Notes: 1. Under development or to be developed 2. Currently supported or support planned 3. Contact the manufacturer to determine if use on a mass production line is supported.
