Chapter 1 Introduction The Renesas FLASH Development Toolkit (FDT) is an on-board FLASH programming tool for Renesas FZTAT microcomputers that provides a high-performance and user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI). Embedded software development projects created using the Renesas High-performance Embedded Workshop (HEW) may be programmed into Renesas F-ZTAT devices using FDT. FDT may also be used as a general purpose S-Record or Hex editor. 1.
Chapter 2 System Overview FDT provides a method of programming, erasing and reading from Renesas Flash devices. Workspaces and Projects are used in order to save the settings between sessions, for easy switching between different settings, and to allow experienced users to configure the settings for less experienced operators. FDT is designed to provide a common look and feel, independent of the actual device to be programmed.
2.1 User Interface The FDT Graphical User Interface is a Windows application that presents a work environment, which allows the user to program FLASH memory.
Menu bar Commands are grouped into related areas on the Menu bar as indicated by the menu titles. Using the mouse the user can select a command operation, invoke a dialog box or a window to interact with the system. Clicking the left mouse button on a menu title will pull down that menu, from which a selection can be made. If a menu item does not perform an action directly, but instead displays a dialog box or window for further user interaction, then its name is appended with an ellipsis (three dots, …).
If a menu item has the symbol (8) next to it then a cascading or hierarchical menu is available. Clicking on the menu item will reveal the cascading menu: Figure 2-4 Cascading Menus Menus can also be selected directly from the keyboard by pressing the ALT key followed by the corresponding key of the underlined letter or number for the menu item that the user wants to select, e.g. press ALT+F, S in sequence to Save the active file ([File->Save]). Toolbars FDT has several toolbars located below the Menu bar.
Edit toolbar Save File Cut Copy Paste Open an S-Record Figure 2-6 Edit Toolbar Save File – saves the active file. Cut – cuts data to the clipboard. Copy – copies data to the clipboard. Paste – pastes data from the clipboard. Open an S-Record – Opens an S-Record or data file.
FDT toolbar Connect Disconnect Erase Blocks Blank Check Upload Download Active File Checksum Go from Address Cancel Flash area Context for non-write operations Figure 2-7 FDT Toolbar Connect - connects the device to the interface. Disconnect - disconnects the device from the interface. Erase Blocks - launches the ‘Erase Block’ dialog box to erase all or individual blocks of the device FLASH memory. Blank Check - checks whether or not the FLASH section of the target device is blank.
S Record toolbar View as Bytes View as Words View as DWords Align view to 8 bytes Toggle ASCII Find Find and Replace Create Selection Fill Selection Properties Figure 2-8 S Record Toolbar View as Bytes - view the file data as 8 bit bytes. View as Words - view the file data as 16 bit words. View as DWords - view the file data as 32 bit double words. Align view to 8 bytes - data is displayed on each line as 8 bytes.
Search toolbar Find in Files Data Find Find Next Find Previous Figure 2-9 Search Toolbar Find in Files – finds selected data in selected files. Data – is used for the searches. Find – locates data in active file. Find Next – locates next occurrence of search criteria. Find Previous - locates previous occurrence of search criteria. Status Bar The Status Bar is located at the bottom of the FDT application window. It provides the user with information about what the application is doing.
Pop-up menus Many windows have local pop-up menus in order to make commonly used features easier to access. These menus are invoked by clicking the right mouse button in the window (or pressing SHIFT+F10) and then selecting the required menu option. An example pop-up menu is: Figure 2-10 Pop-up Menu The contents and operation of specific pop-up menus are explained in detail in the description of each FDT window, see the Chapter 6, Windows. 2.2 Help FDT has a standard Windows help system.

Chapter 3 Basic Operation 3.1 Background Information 3.1.1 What are the User and User Boot Areas? The normal area of (internal) flash for Renesas devices, for user programs is known as the User Area. This is where the code is stored which gets executed when the device is reset into User Mode. The User area can normally be programmed from a Boot Mode or User Mode connection. On some devices there is an additional area of flash known as the User Boot Area.
3.1.4 What are“Protocol A”, “Protocol B” and “Protocol C” Kernels? “Protocol A” - For some 0.8µm, 0.6µm and 0.35µm flash devices using FDT 1.5 style kernels. These are legacy kernels that are not supported and not included in the FDT installer. Protocol A kernels are not available in the Japanese versions of FDT. Protocol A kernels support use of the UPB but not the FDM.
detection of an invalid checksum an fcf or fdm file FDT will warn the user but will not prevent use of the modified files. 3.1.6 Can I use FDT if I do not have Local Machine Administrator rights for my PC? Yes, but only once it is installed and configured. To install FDT and for various configuration tasks, you must have local administrator rights; this is because some settings are stored in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry area.
start communications with the User Mode Test Program at 9600bps and then change to the baud rate set in the project. Note that the device does not automatically erase during connections in User Mode. It is not possible to reprogram the FLASH whilst the reprogramming code is executing from the FLASH so all of the kernel modules needed to keep the connection to FDT are copied into the RAM to leave the FLASH ROM available for reprogramming.
3.2 Starting FDT To start FDT, open the ‘Start’ menu of Windows and select ‘Programs’ -> ‘Renesas’ -> ‘FLASH Development Toolkit 3.1’, then the ‘FLASH Development Toolkit 3.1’ shortcut. The ‘Welcome’ dialog box will open by default. To create a new workspace, select ‘Create a new Project Workspace’ and click the ‘OK’ button. To open a recent workspace, select ‘Open a recent project workspace’ and the workspace to be opened from the list box.
3.3 Creating a New Workspace and Project 3.3.1 New Project Workspace Enter the workspace name (the project name is the same by default), then click the ‘OK’ button. If you wish to change or create a directory, input a directory name or use ‘Browse...’ button.
3.3.2 Choose Device and Kernel (not Generic Boot*) Select the device you wish to use from the drop-down list. It is possible to have more than one kernel option displayed, and double clicking on a kernel will open an optional “readme.txt” file that has information about the kernel (such as the device, version number and the compilers it was created with).
3.3.3 Communications Port Select the port (and interface if available) from the drop-down list, then click the ‘Next’ button. Note that in addition to the serial ports, there is also an option to use the FDM (USB interface board). For some kernels there are also other port options, such as USB Direct (eg. for the 2215UF). For Protocol A (legacy) kernels the ‘HMSE UPB’ interface is available in addition to Direct Connection.
3.3.4 Device Settings Enter values for the device settings; enter the input clock, then select the main and peripheral clock multipliers from the drop-down lists, and click the ‘Next’ button. Figure 3-5 Device Settings Supplementary: 1. CPU Crystal Frequency Enter the frequency of the CPU clock or the crystal generator. This can be specified up to 4 decimal places. The target device, the kernel and the Clock Mode determine the valid range. 2.
3.3.5 Connection Type Select whether the connection is for Boot Mode or User Mode in the ‘Connection Type’ dialog. Additionally, for a connection to a kernel that is still running on the device from a previous session, select the ‘Kernel already resident’ check box. Next, select the communication speed (bps) if the default value is not correct or not present. Speeds where the target error rate is greater than 4%, or the FDM error rate is greater than 0% are automatically removed from the recommended list.
3.3.6 Programming Options Select the protection level for programming the FLASH ROM and the messaging level, then click the ‘Finish’ button, or if the FDM was selected, click ‘Next’ to continue.
3.3.7 FDM Pin Settings [Only if the FDM is selected] Select the ‘Operating Mode’ and ‘Clock Mode’ and if ‘User Defined’, set the FDM pin settings. [For ‘Boot Mode’ projects set the ‘Boot Mode Outputs’ and the ‘Boot Mode Setting’ for the required mode, for ‘User Mode’ projects set the ‘User Mode Outputs’, ‘User Mode Setting’ and the ‘User Program Mode Setting’ for the required mode.] Click the ‘Next’ button to continue.
3.3.8 Reset Pin Settings [Only if the FDM is selected] Select the ‘Operating Mode’ and ‘Clock Mode’ and if ‘User Defined’, set the Reset pin settings. Set the ‘Reset Outputs’ and the ‘Reset Setting’ for the mode required immediately after disconnection. Click the ‘Finish’ button. “*Mode Outputs” sets which pins are driven by the FDM, “*Mode Setting” sets whether output pins are driven High (checked) or Low (Unchecked). Notes: Setting the mode pins using the FDM requires caution.
3.4 Configuring a Project for a Generic Boot Device It is also possible to connect to a Generic Boot Renesas Device - where you do not need a kernel or configuration file installed, instead FDT extracts the required information from the device itself. Because of this, the device must be connected and set into Boot Mode at the time you create the project.
3.4.
3.4.3 Generic Boot - Communications Port Select the port (and interface if available) from the drop-down list, then click the ‘Next’ button. Note that in addition to the serial ports, there is also an option to use the FDM (USB interface board).
3.4.4 Generic Boot - FDM Pin Settings [FDM connection only] If the FDM is selected the following screen will be shown. Set the mode pin settings required to place the device into Boot Mode. Click ‘OK’ to continue. Figure 3-13 FDM Generic Device FDM Pin Settings Note Setting the mode pins using the FDM requires caution. Please confirm the pin settings with the hardware manual even if a default setting is available.
3.4.5 Generic Boot - Confirmation FDT then waits for you to confirm that the device is connected and powered, and if not using the FDM, in Boot mode. FDT will try to connect to the device when you click ‘OK’. Figure 3-15 Generic Boot Confirmation After this, FDT displays a dialog that displays the boot progress. At various points during the Generic Boot process, the user is required to select or confirm details of the device; see below for details. 3.4.
3.4.7 Generic Boot – Select Clock Mode Because some devices have a number of Clock Modes, a list is provided of all possible Clock Modes. The user should select the correct Clock Mode from the list then click ‘OK’. Please check with the hardware manual / target board manual to ensure that the correct mode is chosen.
3.4.8 Generic Boot – Setup Complete Having selected the Clock Mode, the Generic wizard completes as below. Figure 3-18 Generic Boot setup complete The Project Wizard will then continue through the remaining pages 3.4.9 Generic Boot – Device Settings Please Refer to Section 3.3.4 3.4.10 Generic Boot - Connection Type Please Refer to Section 3.3.5 3.4.11 Generic Boot – Programming Options Please Refer to Section 3.3.6 3.4.
3.4.14 Prior Generic Device Selection of the ‘Prior Generic Device’ device allows a connection to the last device configured using ‘Generic Boot Device’. It uses the .fcf file which was generated when first connecting using ‘Generic Boot Device’.
3.5 Saving a Workspace When the [File -> Save Workspace] menu option is selected, the FDT workspace can be saved. 3.6 Closing a Workspace Select [File -> Close Workspace] to close the FDT workspace. If the workspace or its project has changed, a dialog box asks if the user wishes to save the project. Select “Yes” if the workspace is to be saved, “No” if the workspace is not to be saved, and “Cancel” to return to the workspace. If you are prompted to save the session, then select “Yes”.

Programming will be completed when ‘Image successfully written to device’ is displayed in the output window. Programming multiple files to the User Boot Area Add all the required target files to the project by selecting [Project->Add Files…] or pressing the INS key.
3.9 Erasing Data from the FLASH ROM 1. 2. 3. 4. Select [Device -> Erase FLASH blocks…] to display the ‘Erase Blocks’ dialog box. Select the block(s) to be erased. (When the line is clicked, the block is highlighted.)* Click the ‘Erase’ button to start erasure. When ‘Erase complete’ is displayed in the output window, erasure is completed. Figure 3-19 Erase Blocks *Note To erase all blocks, clicking the ‘Select All’ button inversely displays all blocks.
3.10 Reading the FLASH ROM Data 1. 2. 3. 4. Display the ‘Upload Image’ dialog box from [Device -> Upload Image…]. Enter the start and end addresses, or the start address and length. Click the ‘Upload’ button to start reading. When ‘Upload operation complete’ is displayed in the output window and the uploaded data is displayed in the hex editor, reading is complete.
Chapter 4 Configuring the User Interface When the user interface for FDT was designed an attempt was made to make frequently used operations quickly accessible and have related operations grouped in a logical order. However, when the user is in the middle of a long session he may find it more useful to have a different arrangement of the user interface items. FDT facilitates this user customisation.
2. A specific window can also be selected by clicking on the tab containing the file name at the bottom of the Editor window. If the window is not minimised it will be brought to the front of the display. If it is minimised, the minimised icon will be brought to the front of the display.
4.3 Enabling/disabling the Toolbar The user has the option to enable or disable the Toolbar. By default, the Toolbar is displayed at the top of the FDT application window. To disable the display of the Toolbar, select each of the displayed toolbars, and disable their view. To display or disable toolbars, use the [Tools->Customise] menu option or Right Click on the Toolbar area.. 4.4 Enabling/disabling the Workspace Window The user has the option to enable or disable the Workspace.
4.6 Customising the Toolbar The selection and arrangement of buttons displayed on the Toolbar can be customised to suit a user’s requirements. To change the display, invoke the [Tools->Customise…] menu option. The defaults are to display the Editor, Search, FDT, and S-Record toolbars. Note that the S-Record Toolbar option is only available when there is a data file open.
4.6.2 Commands Tab This tab shows the buttons and describes the action for each button in each group and allows the user to customise the toolbar according to an individual application. Clicking on an item in the Categories box displays the buttons available for that category. The Buttons area displays a picture for each button in the selected category. To obtain a description of the action of a button, click on that button. The description will appear in the Description area.
