developer_boardHardware Tools

In the Hardware Tools section, we provide links to the MCU starter kits. The starter kit is a fully self-contained hardware and software tool for evaluating microcontroller features and performance and can be used to start development. It includes the Renesas E1 on-chip debugger, access to all I/O pins and serial interfaces such as RS-232, LIN, and CAN. The starter kit is the fastest way to get the hardware and software needed to begin development right away. We provide links to the user's manual and quick start guide as well as a link to purchase.

Programming Tools

We also offer a newer and faster emulator for separate purchase. While there is a debugger included in the starter kit, we offer the option here to purchase the newer and faster E2 emulator/debugger for programming and debugging RL78/F1x devices.

In addition to a hardware emulator/debugger, we also offer the Renesas Flash Programmer for free download. The Flash programmer contains a simple-to-use graphical user interface which is ideal for first-time developers.

wysiwygSoftware Tools

In the Software Tools section, we have many resources to assist with your MCU project.

For your compiler toolchain needs, we recommend IAR Systems. We provide a link to the partner site which allows you to start your design without delay.

In addition, we offer software libraries, and driver generation software called Applilet3. It's available for free download, and it provides support in generating device drivers for peripheral modules. The software and user manuals for Applilet3 are provided for your convenience.

IAR Systems	Image	IAR Embedded Workbench provides extensive support for RL78 devices. IAR Embedded Workbench is a complete set of development tools with leading optimization technology for creating powerful automotive applications.

Software Libraries

The Flash Libraries are provided to easily rewrite the RL78 code and the data flash memory. The Flash Self-programming Library (FSL) can be used to rewrite the code flash. The Data Flash Access Library (FDL) allows simple access to the data flash. By the use of the EEPROM Emulation Library (EEL) the data flash performs in an EEPROM-like manner. The EEL also contains the FDL.
