A Note on Using Flash Development Toolkit


Please take note of the problem described below in using Flash Development
Toolkit in combination with the E8a emulator.

1. Product and Versions and MCUs Concerned
   (1) Product and versions
       Flash Development Toolkit
         V.4.00 Release 00 through V.4.01 Release 01
   (2) MCUs
       The SuperH RISC engine, H8SX, H8S, H8, M16C, and 740 families 
       of MCUs

2. Problem
   When Flash Development Toolkit is used in combination with the E8a 
   emulator, programming time (mainly spent in verification) is getting 
   longer and longer if user repetitively downloads the data file to the 
   flash.
   However, programming will be done successfully since this problem only 
   affects the programming time.

3. Condition
   This problem occurs when user repetitively downloads the data file to 
   the flash without closing the toolkit and the data within the data file 
   is not continuous but exists in some separate areas. 

4. Workaround
   Close Flash Development Toolkit and then invoke the toolkit to program 
   the data.

5. Schedule of Fixing the Problem
   We plan to fix this problem in the V.4.02 Release 00 product.
