When installing the necessary
software, follow
the instructions exactly as
given in order to ensure
that what you later see
on your PC matches
what we describe here.
Install the KD30 monitor/debugger
first, followed
by the NC30 C
compiler with the HEW
development environment
and an update.
Installation in this order
is important so the HEW
will find the debugger
already installed and link it in properly. Next, install the
debugger package in order to integrate the debugger into
the development environment. Later on, you only need to start
the HEW in order to have everything together on your
screen. Finally, you have to install the Renesas Flash
Development Toolkit (FDT), which enables you to download
finished programs to the microcontroller.
After you insert the CD, a product summary in PDF format
will be displayed first. You should see the main directory of
the CD after you close the product summary. Alternatively,
you can right-click on the drive icon and select ‘Open’ in
order to skip the PDF intro. The most important directories on
the CD are \Software and \Sample_NC30. They contain all
the necessary programs (which should now be installed) and
the initial sample projects.
1. KD30
The executable installer file KD30V410R1_E_20041203.exe.
is located in the \Software\kd30400r1\ directory on the
CD. Start the installation and confirm the default path
C:\MTOOL\.
2. NC30
Run the setup file nc30wav530r02_2_ev.exe in the
\Software\ nc30v530r0_hew\ directory on the CD. First you
have to select whether you want to install the Japanese version
or the English version. Most of our readers will probably
prefer the English version. The program suggests C:\Program
Files\Renesas as the default installation path. You should confirm
this path.
A second default path is shown for the tool chain:
C:\Renesas\NC30WA\V530R02. You should also accept the
default path name, as well as all subsequent default path names.
At the end of the installation, an individual site code is displayed.
You can ignore it, because it is only necessary for
registering the software. If you purchase the full version of the
compiler, you will automatically receive a CD with your own
Our R8C starter kit is available
– now you can get going!
The software
code for enabling the
software.
After you have installed
the HEW, you have to
run the installer for the
AutoUpdate program. As
shown in the figure, confirm
that you wish to
receive weekly updates
from the Renesas Tools
website. That enables
you to keep your software
‘fresh’ all the time.
If the PC on which your
software is installed does
not have access to the Internet, you can cancel installation of
AutoUpdate without causing any problems. The most recent
update file is on the CD, and it must be installed next.
After being installed, the updater immediately checks to see
whether there is anything new and automatically downloads
the latest changes. The first update will then be installed automatically.
The PC must then be restarted before you continue.
3. Update HEW
This step is only necessary if you have not already downloaded
the latest update from the Internet and installed it. Run
the first HEW update from the CD by starting
hewv40003u.exe in the
\Software\HEW_V.4.00.03.001_Update directory on the
CD. That will update your compiler to the latest version
(Database Version 7.0). That is important, because the sample
projects have been generated for this version. Although
you can use the new version to load older projects, which
will then be updated automatically, regressing to an older
version of the compiler is not that easy.
4. Debugger package
Run the installer file m16cdebuggerv100r01.exe in the
\Software\Debugger Package\ directory on the CD. Follow
the instructions of the installer program and confirm your
agreement to the licence conditions. Everything else is automatic.
You must restart the computer after this installation.
5. Flash Development Toolkit
Install the FDT by running the installer file fdtv304r00.exe in
the \Software\Flasher_FDT directory on the CD. Confirm all
default settings. Everything else is automatic.
When everything has been installed, you will find the
Renesas program group under Start / All Programs. The two
relevant programs in the group are High-performance
Embedded Workshop and Flash Development Toolkit.
