Flash Development Toolkit Revised to V.3.07 Release 03


We have revised Flash Development Toolkit from V.3.07 Release 02 to V.3.07 Release 03. (This toolkit is used for the SuperH RISC engine, M16C, H8SX, H8S, H8, and 740 families of MCUs to program on-chip flash memory.)

1. Descriptions of Revision
1.1 Supported MCUs Increased
    The following MCUs have been added to the support line:
    (1) In the H8 family (3 MCUs)
          H8/38776F, H8/38704F, and H8/38702F
    (2) In the M16C family (26 MCUs)
          Group          MCUs
          ---------------------------------------------------------
          M16C/30P       M3030SFEP, M3030SFDP, M3030RFGP, M3030RFEP
                         M3030RFDP, M3030RFCP, M3030RFAP, M30304GEP
                         M30304GDP, and M30302GGP
          R8C/2D         R5F212DC and R5F212DA
          R8C/2C         R5F212CC and R5F212CA
          R8C/2B         R5F212BC and R5F212BA
          R8C/2A         R5F212AC and R5F212AA
          R8C/23         R5F2123C and R5F2123A
          R8C/22         R5F2122C and R5F2122A
          R8C/21         R5F2121C and R5F2121A
          R8C/20         R5F2120C and R5F2120A
        Note that the flash memory in the above MCUs can be programmed 
        only via the E8 emulator.
    (3) In 740 family
          Group          MCU
          ---------------------------------------------------------
          38D5           M38D59FF
        The flash memory in this MCU can also be programmed only via the E8.

1.2 A Problem with the Firmware for the E8 Emulator Resolved
    Resolved has been the problem with the firmware for the E8 that 
    signals may conflict with each other in the E8 when flash memory in 
    the 740 family is programmed using the toolkit and the E8.
    NOTICE:
      If you use any of the versions of the toolkit shown in (1) below with 
      the E8 for a long time to program flash memory in any of the MCUs 
      listed in (2), programming will be performed correctly, but the E8 
      may suffer a breakdown. So in such a case use Flash Development 
      Toolkit V.3.07 Release 03 or later.
      (1) Versions Concerned
          Flash Development Toolkit V.3.05 Release 00 through 
          V.3.07 Release 02 and V.4.00 Release 00
      (2) MCUs Involved
          Group        MCUs
          ------------------------------------------------------
          7516          M37516F4 and M37516F8
          38D5          M38D59FF 
          3851          M38517F8 
          3850A        M38507F8A
