Renesas Microcontroller

DESCRIPTION :

Welcome to the R8C Tiny Product Overview course, which covers the popular line of Renesas microcontrollers (MCUs) that provides high-performance 16-bit solutions for cost-sensitive 8-bit embedded systems..
Embedded software optimization is thus a necessary part of the job, particularly in mobile and energy saving device design. Engineers must particularly reduce the amount of memory and power consumed by the product. Unfortunately, some optimizations force tradeoffs of their own: some or all algorithms to reduce memory use may increase power consumption.
This course explains the fundamentals of embedded software optimization that every embedded system designer must understand.

• Background (Types of Optimization, The Need For Optimization, What Would a "More Expensive" Device Mean?)
• How to Use Less Memory
• How to Use Less Power
• Optimization Tradeoffs
• Specific Approaches and Tools

HEW:

Overview

The High-performance Embedded Workshop (HEW) provides a GUI-based integrated development environment for the development and debugging of embedded applications for Renesas microcontrollers. HEW, a powerful yet easy to use tool site. Features an industry standard user interface and is designed using a modular approach seamlessly incorporating device family-specific C/C++ compilers and the debugger elements for various debugging platforms including emulators and evaluation boards.

This provides the user with a single interface to fully exploit the advanced capabilities of the development tools for the entire development cycle from evaluation of a device through to completion of code development.HEW enables the use of the right tool for each process. HEW supports multiple tool chain integration enabling development for any number of projects under a single user interface.HEW eliminates the need to switch environments between coding and debugging operations or between targets as all Renesas software and hardware development tools are supported under the same single user interface.

Features

Code and debugging support for SuperH, M32R, M16C, R8C, H8SX, H8S, and H8

• Single environment for tool chain and debug component support

• Document-updater (*4)
• Integration with third party tools
• Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000

Macro-Recording Support function :

           The function of recording operations concerning project management, builds, and debugging to generate commands on the High-performance Embedded Workshop command line as well as the function of executing recorded commands.

Test Support function :

          The function of saving the contents of the window selected by the Create New Test Image dialog box as a test-image file. In addition, supported the function of comparing the contents of test-image files with the results of execution of macros generated with the Macro-Recording Support function and of conventional command batches of the High-performance Embedded Workshop.

Auto Update Utility :

          Periodically, you can easily update software tools and the HEW via the Internet. The HEW's auto-updater feature check for any newer version of them automatically. And, if a newer version is available, the auto-update wizard helps you to update software. You can turn on or off the auto-updater and also change the schedule for automatic updating.
