2.0 Introduction
The Renesas HEW Target Server (HTS) Demo Kit is a low-cost development environment for evaluating
M16C family microcontrollers (MCU) and Renesas software development tools.
The kit comes with a complete software development tool chain for Renesas MCUs, including Highperformance Embedded Workshop (HEW), which consists of Integrated Development Environment (IDE),
Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Software Debugger; NC30WA C-compiler, assembler and linker; and
Flash Development Toolkit (FDT) programming software.
The HTS Demo Kit features on-board in-circuit debugging and programming support, eliminating the need
for an external In-Circuit Debug (ICD) unit. All that is required for in-circuit debugging and programming
with the HTS Demo Kit is a USB connection to a PC and the included development tool software.
A real-time, source-level debug environment is implemented using the HEW software debug interface in
conjunction with the HTS Demo Kit board. The Flash Development Toolkit Programmer software allows
in-system programming of the HTS Demo Kit board’s M16C/26A Flash MCU.
The HTS Demo Kit board features an M16C/26A group MCU, switch, LEDs, photo sensor, serial external
Flash and audio amplifier circuit for user experiments. Example application code and peripheral device
initialization code are provided on CD-ROM.
This manual provides the technical details of the HTS Demo Kit hardware. The Quick Start Guide
provides details on the software installation and usage of the debugging environment.

3.1.1. CD-ROM
The CD-ROM contains the electronic manuals and software necessary for developing programs. Your
computer must have a web browser — like Mozilla Firefox, Netscape
Explorer — to view the help files, and Adobe
Insert the enclosed CD into your computer and the installer should auto-start. The installer program
will create the C:\Workspace folder on your machine. HEW and Flash Development Toolkit
programming software are installed in the C:\Program Files\Renesas folder by default.
If the installer program does not start, browse to the CD’s root folder and double-click on
HTSdemoKit-installer.exe to start the installation.
See the QuickStart Guide for more details.
