User`s manual

The Quick Start Guide provided with the RSK board gives detailed instructions on how to connect the E8 to the host computer. The

following assumes that the steps in the Quick Start Guide have been followed and the E8 drivers have been installed.

• Connect the E8 debugger to the USB port on your computer.

• Connect the E8 Debugger to the target hardware ensuring that it is plugged into the connector marked E8 which is nearest

the power connector.

• If supplying external power to the board this can be turned on now.

5.3.Connecting to the target with E8Direct & HMon

This section will take you through the process of connecting to the device, programming the Flash and executing the code.

The E8 provides a interface called E8DIRECT to allow HMon embedded debugger to connect to the target device.

To provide flash programming capabilities the FDT Flash configuration wizard must be configured. This process is only required once in a

project. The settings provide information to HMon to allow the re-programming of the device.

• Select the FDT Wizard from the FDT Tool Bar

If the flash kernel is already configured then a confirmation window will open with the kernel settings. To modify any of the settings just

double click on the item. If FDT is already configured then please proceed to section 5.3.1 Connecting to HMon.

The first stage is to select the specific device from the installed kernels. The installer will have added the kernel to the FDT registry so it will

appear under the device list drop down menu. If for any reason the kernel has to be re-build such as the crystal frequency on the board has

changed, then the installation path is:

<FDT Installation>\Kernels\ProtC\1582\Renesas\1_0_00.RSK

• Select the Device on the RSK from the drop down

list.

• In the sub pane, select the kernel version that ends

in ‘.RSK’.

• Press <Next>.

If you have copied the kernel to another location to modify for a

different crystal frequency, the device will not be listed in the sub

pane. In this case:

• Press <Other…> and navigate to your modified

kernel.
