HEW integrates various tools such as compiler, assembler, debugger and editor into a common graphical user
interface. To learn more on how to user HEW, open the HEW manual installed on your computer (Start Menu > All
Programs > Renesas > High-performance Embedded Workshop > Manual Navigator).

17. Launch HEW from the Start Menu. (Start Menu > All Programs > Renesas > High-performance Embedded

Workshop > High-performance Embedded Workshop)

18. In the “Welcome” dialog box: Verify “Create New Workspace” is selected. Click <OK>.

19. In the “New Project Workspace” dialog box: Set the “CPU Family” to “SuperH RISC Engine”, and verify the “Tool

chain” is set to “Renesas SuperH Standard”. Select “RSKSH7211” from the left hand pane.

20. Enter a name for the workspace. The project name will be automatically completed with the Workspace name.

You can change this name to “Tutorial” if required. Click <OK>.

21. On the “RSKSH7211- Step 1” window: Select “Tutorial” and click <Next>.

22. On the “RSKSH7211- Step 2” window: Click <Finish>.
