1. MCUs Added to the Support Line
     The members of the R8C/Tiny series

2. Procedures for Supporting the R8C/Tiny Series
2.1 Settings of the GUI Configurator and the Configuration Files
    (1) In the definition of the system clock, set "timer" to "OTHER".
        Example:
          clock{
          . . . . . . . . . . . . .
            timer = OTHER;
          . . . . . . . . . . . . .
          };
    (2) In the definitions of the interrupt handlers, define the timer 
        interrupts as those handled by the system-clock interrupt 
        handler, where the name of the system-clock interrupt handler 
        must be "__SYS_STMR_INH".
        Example:
          This is an example of defining the timer RA interrupt in the 
          R8C/Tiny series as the one handled by the system-clock interrupt
          handler.

          interrupt_vector[22]{
            entry_address=__SYS_STMR_INH;
            os_int=YES;
          };

2.2 Modifications Made to the Startup Files (crt0mr.a30, start.a30)
    Modify a portion of initializing the system clock in the startup 
    files so that the user can use the timers in the R8C/Tiny series.
    Example:
      This is an example of calling the initializing function of the RA 
      timer written in C.

      ; +-----------------------------------------------------+
      ; |     System timer interrupt setting                  |
      ; +-----------------------------------------------------+
      ;        mov.b    #stmr_mod_val,stmr_mod_reg   ;set timer mode
      ;        mov.b    #stmr_int_IPL,stmr_int_reg   ;set timer IPL
      ;        mov.w    #stmr_cnt,stmr_ctr_reg       ;set interval count
      ;        or.b     #stmr_bit+1,stmr_start       ;system timer start
        .glb _timer_ra_init
        JSR.W _timer_ra_init

    For details of the initializing function of the RA timer, see 
    Application Note of the R8C/Tiny series.

2.3 Modifications Made to the Section Definition Files (c_sec.inc, 
    asm_sec.inc)
    Modify the address locations of the fixed vector table to meet the 
    R8C/Tiny series.
    Example：
      This is an example of locating sections in the c_sec.inc file. 
      In this example, modifications are made to address locations of 
      the variable vector table according to the modifications made to 
      those of the fixed vector table.

      ;---------------------------------------------------------------
      ;    VECTOR  TABLE
      ;---------------------------------------------------------------
      .glb        __INT_VECTOR
      .section    INTERRUPT_VECTOR      ;Interrupt vector table
      .org        0fd00H
      __INT_VECTOR:
      .section    FIX_INTERRUPT_VECTOR  ;Fixed Interrupt vector table
      .org        0ffdcH

3. Notices
3.1 On Disabling the Watchdog Timer
    If you don't use the watchdog timer, disable it using the assembly 
    directive command ".ofsreg".
    Example:
      Place the following two lines at the end of the example shown in 2.3:
      ;WDT disable
      .ofsreg 0FFH

3.2 On the Cycle of the System Clock
    The cycle of the system clock set in the configuration file (the value 
    to which "tic_nume" has been set in the system definitions) must be 
    the same as the cycle of interrupts generated by the initialization of 
    the system clock by the user.

3.3 On Debugging Capabilities Supported by M3T-MR30/4
    The RTOS debugging capabilities (MR, MR Trace, and MR TaskPause 
    windows) supported by M3T-MR30/4 and used in the emulator debuggers 
    and simulator debuggers that have already been released cannot 
    support the R8C/Tiny series.
    We are making these capabilities support the R8C/Tiny series in the 
    next release of each debuggers.

3.4 On Combination with High-performance Embedded Workshop 4
    (1) Creating Projects
        In the "New Project-2/6-Select RTOS" dialog box, you must select 
        "All Target" as "Target Type" when creating projects.
    (2) Selecting the "-R8C" Option in the Toolchain
        "-R8C" option is not selected automatically at creating projects.
        You need to specify it as a command option explicitly.
