M32C M16C UART Monitor Program
- After the Monitor Program is written to the MCU and the Monitor Program communicates with the Debugger, the user program can be debugged. Use RS-232C for communication between the Debugger and the Monitor Program.
- When debugging with the Debugger, write the Monitor Program to the MCU using a flash programmer (ex. M16C Flash Starter).
System Configuration
Preparations
- PC with Serial Port
- Communication Cable
- Target Board, Power Supply
- Flash Programmer (for writing the monitor program to the MCU)
- Monitor Program
- Debugger
* You can download the Monitor Programs and the Debuggers from "Downloads" button.
Operating Environment
The operating environment depends on your debugger.

Debugging Method
Debugging Communication Port
The serial port of MCU is used for communication between the monitor program and debugger.
The serial port used by the monitor program is shown below.
* Please connect a pull-up resistor (approx. 5kΩ) to the TxD pin.
| MCU | Channel | RxD (Reception) | TxD (Transmission)* |
|---|---|---|---|
| M16C/62A, 62M | 1 | P6_6/RxD1 | P6_7/TxD1 |
| M16C/80 | 1 | P6_6/RxD1 | P6_7/TxD1 |
| M32C/83 | 1 | P6_6/RxD1 | P6_7/TxD1 |
The monitor program offered by Renesas uses the same serial port as the flash programmer supporting Renesas Standard Serial I/O Mode 2 (serial programming mode). Therefore, if the circuit for reference use of the flash programmer which supports Standard Serial I/O Mode 2 is used, you can easily create the environment from writing the monitor program to MCU to debugging.
Renesas provides M16C Flash Starter as a flash programmer supporting Standard Serial I/O Mode 2, and posts the circuit for reference use on our homepage. Please refer to the page of M16C Flash Starter for more details.
