expressly specified in a Renesas Electronics data sheets or data books, etc.
“Standard”: Computers; office equipment; communications equipment; test and measurement equipment; audio and visual
“High Quality”: Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.); traffic control systems; anti-disaster systems; anti-
“Specific”: Aircraft; aerospace equipment; submersible repeaters; nuclear reactor control systems; medical equipment or
8. You should use the Renesas Electronics products described in this document within the range specified by Renesas Electronics,
especially with respect to the maximum rating, operating supply voltage range, movement power voltage range, heat radiation
characteristics, installation and othe r product characteristics. Renesas Elec tronics shall have no liability for malfunctions or
damages arising out of the use of Renesa s Electronics products beyond such specified ranges.
9. Although Renesas Electronics endeavors to improve the quality and reliability of its products, se miconductor products have
specific characteristics such as the occurrence of failure at a certain rate and malfunctions under certain use conditions. Further,
Renesas Electronics products are not subject to radiation resistance design. Please be sure to implement safety measure s to
guard them against the possibility of physical injury, and injury or damage caused by fire in the event of the failure of a
Renesas Electronics product, such as safety design for hardware and software including but not limited to redundancy, fire
control and malfunction prevention, appropriate treatment for aging degradation or any other appropriate measures. Because
the evaluation of microcomputer software alone is very difficult, please evaluate the safety of the final products or system
manufactured by you.
10. Please contact a Renesas Electronics sales office for details as to environmental matters such as the environmental
compatibility of each Renesas Electronics product. Please use Renesas Electronics products in compliance with all applicable
laws and regulations that regulate the inclusion or use of controlled substances, including without limitation, the EU RoHS
Directive. Renesas Electronics assumes no liability for damages or losses occurring as a result of your noncompliance with
applicable laws and regulations.

CONVENTION MEANING
[Menu->Menu Option] Bold text with ‘->’ is used to indicate menu options (for example,
‘dialog name’ The ‘’ is used to indicate the name of a dialog box or menu.
‘Filename.ext’ Bold Courier Font is used to indicate filenames.

down, press the N key.
When this symbol is used, it is always located in the left-hand

Chapter 1 Introduction
The Renesas Flash Development Toolkit (FDT) is an on-board FLASH programming tool for Renesas F-ZTAT
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.
1.1 Key Features
- Standard window operation based on the 32-bit Windows® GUI.
- Various online help functions.
- Selectable messaging levels.
- Simple programming environment; optionally controls an adapter board.
- Serial communication.
- USB communications supported via USB Interface Boards.
- USB communications directly to selected target devices.
- Wait for Script File facility
1.2 New Features
FDT 3.05 has the following new features:-
- E8 Emulator firmware update feature
- Multiple flash areas in a single image (DDI)
- E8Direct for added device support using E8
- QzROM programming
- Generic Boot over USBDirect
- Internal\External clock switch support

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 to program 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
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

allows the user to program FLASH memory.

2.1.1 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, ...).
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
5
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 ([F
ile->Save]).
2.1.2 Toolbars
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.
For more details about changing the arrangement of the toolbar buttons and a detailed description of
each button’s function, see Chapter 6 .

2.1.3 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.
The left section of the Status Bar describes the action of the Toolbar items as the mouse arrow is
positioned over a button, as well as displaying operation status information.

When an action is being performed, a progress bar is displayed to show the progress of the current
operation.
The last section of the bar indicates the state of the toggling keyboard keys such as the Caps Lock,
Insert and Number Lock keys.
2.1.4 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 2-11 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 8 , Windows.
