  • The RZ/T compatible e2 studio supports code generation plug-in.
  • The C/C++ code generation plug-in enables users to generate device driver programs for peripheral functions of Renesas microcontrollers and microprocessors with a graphical user interface. A separate compiler installation is needed to activate this plug-in.
 RZ/T1, RZ/T2M, RZ/T2L
Code Generation Support Tool AP4
  • AP4 is a standalone tool that automatically generates peripheral function control programs based on settings entered by the user.
  • Users are able to freely select suitable build tool (compiler) for their development enabling interoperation with integrated development environments.
  • The RZ/T compatible AP4 version generates compatible source code for IAR Embedded Workbench from IAR Systems, Development Studio (DS-5TM) from Arm®, and e2 studio (GNU Tools).
 RZ/T1
Code Generation Support Tool Flexible Software Package (FSP) + Smart Configurator (SC)
  • FSP includes all the necessary board-dependent programs, peripheral function drivers, middleware, and documentation to get started with software development.
  • Smart Configurator is a utility to combine software that meet your needs. Pins and FSP driver settings can be configured using an intuitive GUI, and generate source code tailored to your use case.
  • FSP and Smart Configurator can be used in conjunction with an IDE and are compatible with IAR Embedded Workbench® for Arm from IAR Systems and e2 studio.
