Chapter 2 System Overview

FDT provides a method of programming, erasing and reading from Renesas Flash devices. Workspaces and Projects can be 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.

FDT employs a hierarchical structure so that work can be organised in a logical manner. The top level of the structure is the workspace.

To be useful, the workspace must contain at least one project. In order to create a project, a workspace must be created first.

Each project specifies its own target device configuration (specified when creating the project) and set of target files (S-Record / Hex / Binary) that can be used toprogram the device.

The project settings for the target device connection need only be set once, as they can be stored between sessions by saving the Project.

A single project within the workspace is active at any point in time. The active project is the context to which all ‘Device’ Menu, ‘Project’ Menu and ‘Project’ Toolbar commands will be directed.

When a project has been created, target files can be added to it. These files may:

•Be used to program the device.

•Be used to build a Device Image.

•Be opened in the hex editor.

•Be marked as being destined for the User Boot Area (for devices which support this).

•Have their checksum calculated

•Have their data block usage displayed

•Be compared against the data already programmed to the device

When using a project it is possible to take advantage of the following FDT features:

•Advanced messaging levels.

•Device Image builder.

•Uploading data from the target device.

•Viewing uploaded data in big or little endian, or floating point representation.

•Simple Interface Mode – for simplifying the user interface once the project is configured.

•Automatic masking of non-Flash areas in files upon opening project open

•Automatic masking of reserved sections within Flash areas

2.1User Interface

The FDT Graphical User Interface is a Windows→ application that presents a work environment, which allows the user to program FLASH memory.

Figure 2-1 FDT Graphical User Interface

2.1.1Menu 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, ...).

4

Figure 2-2

Menu Ellipsis

If a menu item can also be invoked by pressing a hot key (a combination of keys), then the hot key is displayed to the right of the item.

If a menu item toggles a feature ON or OFF then a check mark (9) will be displayed next to its text when it is ON:

Figure 2-3 Checked Menu Items

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]).

5

2.1.2Toolbars

FDT has several toolbars located below the Menu bar. This provides quick access to FDT features by clicking the respective button with the mouse.

Figure 2-5

FDT Toolbars

The buttons on each toolbar are arranged in associated groups.

To find out the function of the button, move the mouse over the button and a hint will be displayed next to the button and in the status bar.

The toolbar buttons can be customised to provide a button for the majority of the features available in FDT and can be arranged in an order that the user finds convenient.

Chapter 3 Using FDT

3.1Quickstart

The stages required in order to program a device are as follows:

1)Start FDT by selecting ‘Start’->‘Programs’ -> ‘Renesas’ -> ‘Flash Development Toolkit3.07’, then the ‘Flash Development Toolkit3.07’ shortcut [see section 3.3]

2)Create a Workspace and Project [see section 3.4.1]

3)Configure the Project using the Flash Project Wizard (select device, kernel, port, mode etc) [see sections 3.4.2 to 3.4.8 or section 3.5 for Generic Boot]

4)Add the file or files that you want to download to the project [see sections 8.1.2.1/8.2.2/3.7]. You can now download individual files by right clicking on them in the Workspace Window, or merge multiple files into a device image (using the Project-> Rebuild Image menu item) and download that (using the Project-> Download Image menu item).

Alternatively, to start in FDT Basic Simple Interface Mode:

1)Select ‘Start’->‘Programs’ -> ‘Renesas’ -> ‘Flash Development Toolkit3.07’, then the ‘Flash Development Toolkit3.07 Basic’ shortcut [see section 3.3]

2)Configure the settings using the Wizard (select device, kernel, port, mode etc) [see sections 3.4.2 to 3.4.8 or section 3.5 for Generic Boot]

3)Select the flash area that you want to program (User Area or User Boot Area).

4)Select the file to program for each enabled area

5)Select the Program Flash Button.

6)Disconnect when programming is completed

3.2Background Information

3.2.1What are the User Area, User Boot Area and Data 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. This is where the code is stored which gets executed when the device is reset into User Boot Mode. The User Boot Area tends to be much smaller than the User Area and is typically used for storing an alternative boot stub, for setting up communication via some other communications medium / protocol. Normally, the User Area and the User Boot Area both start at the same address – this is possible because only one is ever mapped into the memory map at one time. It is only possible to program the User Boot Area from Boot Mode - not from User Mode.

On some devices there is an additional area of flash known as the Data Area. This area normally resides at the other end of the memory map to the User Area, and unlike the case of the User Boot Area, the Data Area is not contiguous with the User Area and always exists in the memory map.

13

3.2.2What is the difference between Boot Mode and User Mode?

The Renesas Flash devices have different modes of operation which are controlled by the state of the mode pins when the device is brought out of reset. Most devices have an asynchronous serial Boot Mode and a User/User Program Mode.

Generally, (asynchronous serial) Boot Mode connections, start with an autobaud – sending synchronisation data packets to setup initial communications at a given baud rate. Additionally, for most devices, the entire flash will be erased as part of the connection process, thus preventing any Intellectual Property held on the device from being read from Boot Mode.

For a User Mode connection, the device must already be programmed with some code which talks to FDT and allows programming. Most kernels are supplied with a User Mode micro kernel and test program (*usually called “uGenU.mot” and “xxxxtest.mot”). These files provide a demonstration of User Mode programming and must be programmed into the device and be executing before FDT tries to connect in User Mode. User Mode does not normally force an erase of the flash during the connection process and does not autobaud to setup initial communications. The demonstration User Mode test programs have the required Bit Rate Register value compiled into them for setting up initial communications at 9600 baud; hence User Mode kernels need to be rebuilt for different clock frequencies.

*Note that where the files are to be used as part of an embedded monitor, the User Mode kernel files may be also output as binary files (.cde) without the reset vector populated. Some kernels use only a single file for the User Mode test program (e.g. Protocol C kernels).

3.2.3What is the difference between User Mode and User Program Mode?

Some devices use an additional mode pin to protect the flash from being written or erased by mistake; this pin is normally known as the “Flash Write Enable” pin (FWE) if it has to be logic high to allow programming, or the “Flash Write Protect” pin (FWP) if it has to be logic low to allow programming. For these devices, this pin distinguishes “User Mode” from “User Program Mode”. An FDT User Mode connection expects the device to be in User Program Mode at the point of programming and erasing, and if using the FDM, can reset the device into User Mode to execute the programmed code on disconnection.

3.2.4 What are “Protocol A”, “Protocol B”, “Protocol C” and “Protocol D” 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. The kernel needs to be rebuilt for different crystal frequencies in Boot and User Modes, and for changing the PMODE pin if using the UPB. Please refer to the documentation supplied with the kernels for additional information.

“Protocol B” – For 0.35μm devices. These support the FDM but not the UPB.

Boot Mode - The kernel (made up of the Boot Mode Micro Kernel, Boot Mode Main Kernel, and the Write and Erase modules) is held on the PC and downloaded as required. The Boot Mode kernel does not need to be rebuilt for different crystal frequencies; this information is stored in the FDT project and downloaded at runtime and initial communication is achieved by the autobaud (where FDT sends 0x00 data until the device synchronises with it).

14

User Mode – The User Mode Test Program and User Mode Micro-Kernel need to be already programmed and executing on the device. The initial Bit Rate Register value is held in the ‘gentest.h’ file and is compiled into the User Mode Test Program; this allows the kernel initialise the serial communications interface to 9600 baud. If the clock frequency changes from the default supplied value, the initial Bit Rate Register setting in ‘gentest.h’ [normally MA_BRR_SCI or MA_BRR_SCI1] will need to be modified and the kernel recompiled. The User Mode Main Kernel and the Write and Erase modules are held on the PC and downloaded as required.

“Protocol C” – For devices with embedded kernels (Currently 0.18μm). These support the FDM but not the UPB.

Boot Mode – A configuration file is stored on the PC which provides FDT with details about the device, but the kernel (including the Write and Erase modules) resides internally on the device. There is no need to rebuild anything for different clock frequencies in Boot Mode; this information is stored in the FDT project and downloaded at runtime and initial communication is achieved by the autobaud (where FDT sends 0x00 data until the device synchronises with it).

User Mode – Some boards are supplied with a User Mode kernel. Similarly to the Protocol B User Mode kernels, User Mode Kernel needs to be already programmed and executing on the device. The initial Bit Rate Register value is held in the ‘gentest.h’ file and is compiled into the User Mode Test Program; this allows the kernel initialise the serial communications interface to 9600 baud. If the clock frequency changes from the default supplied value, the initial Bit Rate Register setting in ‘gentest.h’ [normally MA_BRR_SCI or MA_BRR_SCI1] will need to be modified and the kernel recompiled. The main difference to the Protocol B User Mode Kernels is that the Write and Erase modules are held internally on the device.

“Protocol D” – For R8C and former Mitsubishi family devices (eg. M16C, M32 etc).

The E8 and FoUSB boards can be used with some Protocol D devices. The kernels are internal to the device, but FDT uses configuration files to store information about the device characteristics.

3.2.5What are the fcf and fdm files, can I edit them?

Stored alongside the other kernel files, the .fcf (Flash Configuration File) and .fdm (Flash Development Module) files hold details about the device and kernel. Each supported device in each kernel directory has its own .fcf and .fdm file. Information such as the RAM size, Flash size, Erase Block Register details, default baud rate and default crystal frequency is stored in the fcf file and details about the allowed pin settings for the FDM is stored in the FDM file. Each of these files is protected with a checksum, so editing will render them invalid and FDT will detect this. Upon detection of an invalid checksum an fcf or fdm file FDT will warn the user but will not prevent use of the modified files.

3.2.6Can 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. Once FDT is installed and configured you will be able to use it with certain limitations. Configuration tasks such as adding new kernel entries to the registry so that they will be available in the Project Wizard in future requires Local Machine Administrator rights. This includes adding the Prior Generic Device entry (an administrator must first connect to the Generic Device to allow the Prior Generic Device entry to be created. Additionally the FDT Advanced Setup utility which is used

for changing settings such as fine tuning of timeouts, requires the Local Machine Administrator rights to save the settings. Password administration also requires Local PC Administrator rights.

3.2.7How do I recompile a kernel?

It is recommended that the original kernel is copied to another directory and that this copy is edited, thus leaving the original kernel unmodified. When using the kernel for the first time, you will need to browse to the alternate location to find the fcf file.

If the kernel has been written using Hew, there will be a Hew workspace file in the project subdirectory of the kernel. This should be opened from Hew.

If the kernel has been written based upon compilation from the command line, you will need to run the buildall.bat file from a Dos shell session after setting up the environment variables for the compiler so that it can be run from the command line. Please refer to the compiler manual for full details of how to do this. An example environment batch file used to set the environment settings for the Renesas H8 compiler version 4.0a is shown below:

Setenv.bat:

SET CH38=C:\hew\tools\Renesas\h8\4_0_A\INCLUDE

PATH=%PATH%;C:\hew\tools\Renesas\h8\4_0_A\bin

set DOS16M= @1M-31M

SET CH38TMP=c:\TEMP

Notes:

From some operating systems (eg Windows 2000), cmd.exe should be used rather than command.com.

The above batch file should be modified to reflect the path of your compiler.

Ensure that the specified temporary directory exists and is writeable.

3.2.8How do I use the supplied demonstration User Mode Kernels?

To use the demonstration User Mode kernels, you must first add the User Mode Micro Kernel and User Mode Test Program from the kernel directory (“uGenU.mot” and “xxxxtest.mot”) to a Boot Mode Project and build the User Area Device Image. Next, connect in Boot Mode and program the image to the device, disconnect and reset the device into User Mode. Create another project in the workspace, but this time set it as a User Mode Connection Type, and connect in User Mode. FDT will 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. Because of this, it is possible to erase the entire flash and reprogram it in user mode, but note that if the device is reset after erasure and before it is reprogrammed, it will not be possible to reconnect in User Mode until the device has had the User Mode Micro Kernel and User Mode Test Program reprogrammed into it Boot Mode.
