Flash Development Toolkit
Revised to V.4.01 Release 00


Flash Development Toolkit has been revised from V.4.00 Release 02 to V.4.01 Release 00. This tool kit is used for programming flash memory of the MCUs in the SuperH RISC engine, M16C, H8SX, H8S, H8, and 740 families.

1. Descriptions of Revision
1.1 Supported MCUs Increased
    The following MCUs have been added to the support line:
    (1) H8/36078F (in the H8/300H Tiny series, H8 family)
        This MCU is programmable via the RS-232C port, the HS0008EAUF1H 
        board (on-board programming adaptor board for flash MCUs), or 
        the E8a emulator.

    (2) R5F3640D (in the M16C/64 group, M16C/60 series, M16C family)
        This MCU is programmable via the RS-232C port or the E8a or E8* 
        emulator.
        *The E8 emulator is discontinued product.

    (3) R5F212E2, R5F212E4, R5F212F2, R5F212F4, R5F212G4, 
        R5F212G5, R5F212G6, R5F212H1, R5F212H2, R5F212J0, 
        R5F212J1, R5F212K2, R5F212K4, R5F212L2 and R5F212L4
        (in the R8C/Tiny series, M16C family)
        These MCUs are programmable via the E8a or E8 emulator.

    (4) M38D29FF (in the 38000 series, 740 family)
        This MCU is programmable via the E8a or E8 emulator.

    For the supported device in the latest version, 
    please refer to this pdf file.
    This document will be renewed on and after January 21.

1.2 Supported Interfaces Increased
    (1) The E8a emulator can be used for programming the following MCUs 
        as well as RS-232C and HS0008EAUF1H:
H8S family H8S/2639F and H8S/2638F
H8 family H8/3694F, H8/3687F, H8/36014F, H8/36024F, H8/36037F, H8/36057F, H8/36064F, H8/36079F, H8/36087F
    (2) The RS-232C port can be used for programming the following MCUs 
        as well as the E8a and E8 emulators:
R8C/Tiny series R5F21244, R5F21245, R5F21246, R5F21247, R5F21248, R5F21254, R5F21255, R5F21256, R5F21257, R5F21258
    (3) The interface for the debugger for the E8a emulator can be used 
        for programming the following MCUs as well as RS-232C and 
        HS0008EAUF1H:
H8/300H Tiny series H8/36064F and H8/36079F
1.3 Capabilities Introduced
    (1) Capability to write identification code:
        Writes information on and the serial code of your application 
        system into the MCU's flash memory automatically.
		
    (2) Capability to tell linked pairs of emulator and software tool:
        Tells which emulator is communicating with which software tool
        when more than one E8a emulator is connected with the PC.
		
    (3) Capability to provide checksum information at data uploading:
        Provides the checksum of the specified address range when the 
        data in your MCU's flash memory is uploaded (read out). This 
        allows you to check to see whether the checksum information of 
        the specified range after uploading is correct or not.

2. How to Update Your Product
   Free-of-charge online update is available. Download the installer of 
   the latest program from the Web site at 
     http://www.renesas.com/fdt_download
   and execute it. This site will be opened from January 21 on.
   If you are using the V.4.00 Release 00 or later product, AutoUpdate 
   Utility is available.
