Code Generator Plug-in
A Note to Users of the Code Generator Plug-in for RX: Migrating to the Smart Configurator
We recommend that you consider migrating to the Smart Configurator, as it supports the following three functions: importing middleware in the form of FIT modules, generating driver code, and setting pins from the Code Generator Plug-in. Click on the [Design Support] tab >>
Overview
Settings in a GUI and then one click of the mouse button is a simple way to produce initial settings for your microcontroller, and greatly reduces working hours for development.
The code generator plug-in can automatically generate control programs for peripheral modules (device driver programs). By generating needed source code in accordance with user settings, the plug-in shortens development terms and dramatically reduces costs.
The CS+ and e² studio integrated development environments from Renesas include the code generator plug-in. However, the situations to which the tool can respond depend on the microcontroller and integrated development environment, so refer to "Microcontrollers for Code Generation" below for details of product compatibility.
The code generator plug-in is a tool that you can install and use free of charge. Its operation is not guaranteed, although we have carefully evaluated the generated code. The user assumes all responsibility related to installing and using this tool.
Topics
We have revised the Code Generator Plug-in for the RL78. The RL78/G13A group has been added as a set of supported devices.
Features
- Simple operation of all processes through an easy-to-understand GUI
- Handles checking for cases where multiple peripheral modules are contending for the same pins
- An API provides functions to make the peripheral functions operate
- Since this tool is included in the CS+ and e² studio integrated development environments from Renesas, all processes from editing and building code to debugging can be smoothly executed from the same integrated environment

Note
- You cannot use the code generator plug-in when creating a new project for devices of this group with CS+ or the e² studio since they are supported by the Smart Configurator.
