Renesas Flash Programmer Usage from the Command Line
1. Overview
The Renesas Flash Programmer (RFP) enables the automated control of programming by using command
lines.
There are two types of command line control of the RFP.
• Use of project files from a simple command line (for Windows)
• Use of rfp-cli from a command line (for Windows and Linux)
For rfp-cli, programming can be controlled from the command line alone without the use of project files. This
facility is supported by V3.08.00 and later versions of the RFP.
This document introduces various examples of processing by using command lines so try using them and
adapting them to your own needs.
For details on the RFP, refer to the user’s manual.

2. Procedure before Using Project Files from the Simple Command Line
This chapter helps you to understand the sequence of the basic procedures to follow before setting up
processing that uses project files of the RFP from the simple command line, taking the RL78/G14 as an
example of the target MCU.
• The descriptions in this chapter apply under the following conditions.
Target MCU: R5F104LE (RL78/G14)
Tool: E2 emulator Lite
Connection: 1-wire UART (single-wire UART)
Bit rate: 1,000,000 bps
Clock to be supplied: None (on-chip clock oscillator)
Power supply: E2 emulator Lite (3.3 V)
Operations of flash memory: Erasure, programming, and verification
Options for flash memory: None
• This chapter describes the following procedures. If you already understand the items up to step 4, Setting
a project, start with reference to step 5, Creating a batch file.
1. Connecting a system
2. Connecting a target system
3. Creating a project file
4. Setting a project
5. Creating a batch file
6. Executing the batch file
2.1 Connecting a System
Connect the USB port of the host PC to the tool to be used via a USB cable.

Target system
2.2 Connecting a Target System
Connect the target cable of the tool to be used to the target system.
Figure 2.2 Connecting a Target System
2.3 Creating a Project File
Start the RFP GUI to open the main window.
Select [New Project] from the [File] menu to open the [Create New Project] dialog box.
Figure 2.3 [Create New Project] Dialog Box
Select “RL78” for [Microcontroller], enter “sample” for [Project Name], specify “C:\rfp” for [Project Folder], and
select “E2 emulator Lite” for [Tool].
Clicking on the [Tool Details] button opens the [Tool Details] dialog box.
