A Brand-New Utility "DocumentUpdater" Released
|
|---|
We have released a brand-new utility software "DocumentUpdater". This
utility searches the database on Renesas Web for documents related to
the devices whose names have been typed in the High-performance Embedded
Workshop and lists the results of searches.
- Supporting C Compiler Packages
At present the DocumentUpdater is supported by two C compiler packages
with which the High-performance Embedded Workshop is bundled. They are
as follows:
| (1) |
|
The M3T-NC308WA V.5.40 Release 00 and later
(including their evaluation versions)
for the M32C/90, M32C/80 and M16C/80 series |
| (2) |
|
The M3T-NC30WA V.5.40 Release 00 and later
(including their evaluation versions)
for the M16C/60, M16C/30, M16C/20, M16C/10, M16C/Tiny, and R8C/Tiny series |
We plan to make other C compiler packages support the DocumentUpdater
one after another at releasing their revised versions.
- Descriptions of the Utility
| 2.1 |
|
Outline
As stated above, the DocumentUpdater is a utility that searches the
database on Renesas Web for documents related to the devices whose
names have been typed in the High-performance Embedded Workshop and
provides you with the search results in lists (it can also provides
the lists of updated documents only). The types of documents that
can be supplied are as follows:
| (1) |
|
Device manual |
| (2) |
|
Technical Update |
| (3) |
|
Application note |
| (4) |
|
Documentation related to development tools |
| NOTICE: |
|
The DocumentUpdater downloads the above documents through the
Internet, but it never uploads your private information. |

How to Invoke and Close the Utility
You see the icon of the DocumentUpdater on the toolbar of the
High-performance Embedded Workshop. To invoke the DocumentUpdater,
open a workspace and then click this icon, or select the Document-
Updater command from the Help menu on the Toolbar.
Note that the DocumentUpdater cannot start on a standalone basis.
However, after invoked, it can be closed independent of the
High-performance Embedded Workshop. |
- How to Get the Utility
The DocumentUpdater can be downloaded free of charge in either of the following ways:
| (1) |
|
If you have already installed either of the C compiler packages
described in Section 1, use the AutoUpdate utility in the compiler
to detect the DocumentUpdater on Renesas Web. If detected, the
AutoUpdate utility asks you whether to download it or not; then
follow the AutoUpdate utility's instructions if you want to
download it. |
| (2) |
|
Download the DocumentUpdater from either of the following download sites and install it:
M3T-NC308WA download site
M3T-NC30WA download site
|
- Supplemental Notices
| (1) |
|
Unless any workspace is opened in the High-performance Embedded
Workshop, the DocumentUpdater will not be invoked to provide only
an error message. So be sure to create a new workspace or open any
existing one in the High-performance Embedded Workshop before
invoking the DocumentUpdater. |
| (2) |
|
If workspaces created by any High-performance Embedded Workshop
earlier than M16C Compier V.5.40 Release 00 are used in V.5.40,
the DocumentUpdater will not be invoked the same manner
as in (1) above even when you try to invoke it after opening a workspace.
The reason is that no workspace created by the High-performance
Embedded Workshop earlier than V.5.40 Release 00 is provided
with its MCU information that is necessary to invoke the Document-
Updater. So if this is the case, please re-create workspaces by
V.5.40 Release 00. |
| (3) |
|
If the icon of DocumentUpdater V.1.20 is not displayed in the toolbar of
the High-performance Embedded Workshop, select the [Setup->Customize...] menu option and check
the box of [Help System Tools] in the Toolbar tab. |
| (4) |
|
Because the DocumentUpdater is an application using the Internet,
in some cases it malfunctions depending on the network caches.
Should the DocumentUpdater not be invoked for this reason, clear
the cache on your browser. |
