2. 78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! system configuration
The 78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! system configuration is given in the diagram below:
Figure 1: 78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! system configuration
2.1 78K0/Fx2 – CAN it!
78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! is a demonstration kit for the 78K0/FF2 8-Bit microcontroller. The 78K0/Fx2 – CAN it!
board is connected to the host system via USB interface cable. The host system may be used for OnBoard debugging of application software by using the IAR C-SPY debugger or the programming of the
78K0/FF2 internal FLASH memory by using the FPL3 programming GUI, to allow execution of application
programs on the 78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! starterkit hardware.
78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! runs the microcontroller at 12.0000 MHz operating speed. Sub-clock is provided with
32.768 kHz.
2.2 Host computer
The USB host interface enables communication to the 78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! board. The USB UART chip
FT232 allows application software to access the USB device in the same way as it would access a
standard RS232 interface. The FTDI's Virtual COM Port (VCP) driver appears to the windows system as
an extra Com Port, in addition to any existing hardware Com Ports.
2.3 Power supply via USB interface
78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! is powered by USB interface, no separate power supply is needed. The USB
interface provides the 78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! board with 5V supply voltage.

5. On-Chip debugging
The 78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! board offers two possibilities to use On-Chip debugging (OCD). The On-Board
debug function of 78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! allows On-Chip debugging without a need of external debug
hardware. Within this mode the default USB / UART connection to the Host computer is used as debug
interface. All standard debug functions are available in the On-Board debugging mode like FLASH
programming / downloading, code execution, single stepping, breakpoints, memory manipulation etc.
Additionally 78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! supports the QB-78K0MINI On-Chip debug emulator in order to use OnChip debug function of the 78K0/FF2 device. The system configuration for On-Chip debugging is shown
in figure below.

11. TROUBLESHOOTING
In driver installation, recognition based on Plug and Play is disabled.
Cause:
The USB connector may not be inserted normally into the USB port of the personal computer.
Action:
Check that the USB connector is inserted fully into the USB port of the personal computer.
Alternatively, disconnect the USB connector, then insert the USB connector again after a while.
The driver file cannot be found at a specified location.
Cause:
The FPL3 FLASH programming software may not be installed correctly.
Action:
Install the GUI software again by referring to CHAPTER 8 Software Installation.
In checking by Device Manager, "USB Serial Port" or "USB High Speed Serial
Converter" is not displayed. Alternatively, the "!" or "×" is prefixed.
Cause:
The USB connector may not be inserted normally into the USB port of the personal computer.
Action:
Check that the USB connector is inserted fully into the USB port of the personal computer.
Alternatively, disconnect the USB connector from the USB port, then insert the USB connector
again after a while.
Cause:
The driver may not be installed correctly.
Action:
<1> When this product is connected to the personal computer, right-click the driver marked
with "!" or "×".
Click
<2> On Device Manager, execute [Hardware Modification Scan].
<3> Install the driver again with Plug and Play.
Cause:
The device may not be recognized (in the case of connection with the USB hub).
Action:
Try the following:
• Disconnect the USB connector, then insert the USB connector again.
• Connect the USB connector to another port of the USB hub.
If the same symptom occurs, do not use the USB hub, but directly connect the connector to the
USB port of the personal computer.
When this product is connected with a personal computer, the "Add New Hardware
Wizard" screen is displayed.
Cause:
If the USB connector of this product is not inserted into the USB port used at the installation
time but into another USB port, this product may be recognized as a new hardware item.

12. IAR configuration for On-Board debugging
12.1 Setup COM port for IAR C-SPY debugger
Before using the On-Board debug function of the 78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! board together with the IAR C-SPY
debugger it is necessary to set the corresponding USB serial COM port of the host computer. Just be sure
that you have installed the USB driver first.
To set the COM port, please execute the registry script file “FTDI_Set_Registry.reg”. The script file can be
found in the typical installation path of the IAR Embedded Workbench, i.e.:
“C:\Program Files\IAR System\Embedded Workbench 4.0\78k\config\nec”
This script file will set the COM port number in the following registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NEC Tools\NECDEV\78K0.EX]
Figure 65: Registry entry for IAR C-SPY debugger COM port setting
As default the serial port COM3 is set in the script file. If the 78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! board is used on a different
USB serial COM port, please edit the script file accordingly. To do so, open the script file with your preferred
editor i.e. “NOTEPAD” and make changes as described in the file. Then run the script file.
12.2 Configuration of USB serial COM port
To optimize the communication between the IAR C-SPY debugger and the 78K0/Fx2 – CAN it! board the
USB serial COM port must be configured. To do so, open the “Device Manager”, which can be found in
properties of “My Computer”. Then locate the USB serial COM port and select “Properties”, as show in figure
below:

13. IAR sample session
When everything is set up correctly the IAR Embedded Workbench can be started. To do so, start the
Embedded Workbench from Windows “Start” menu > “Programs” > folder “IAR Systems” > “IAR Embedded
Workbench Kickstart for 78K”. The following screen appears:
Figure 70: IAR Embedded Workbench
Now select the option “Open exiting workspace” from the “File” menu and locate the sample project. Open
the file “78K0_CANit.eww”. This is the workspace file that contains general information about the
demonstration projects and settings.
