Change Microcontroller dialog box


This dialog box is used to change the microcontroller to be used in the project (See “2.4.14 Change the microcontroller” for details).

Remark 1.

The microcontroller can only be changed to another from the same family (RH850, RX, and RL78) that is compatible with the same build tools.

Remark 2.

When the microcontroller is changed, it must be disconnected from the debug tool.

Remark 3.

When the microcontroller is changed, the project must be saved.

Remark 4.

After the microcontroller is changed, information for the pin configurator (design tool), code generator (design tool), and debug tool (except for registration of the Watch panel) is not maintained.

Remark 5.

[RX] The settings of the properties of the build tool are changed to those for the specified microcontroller. iodefine.h and the start-up source files of the specified microcontroller are copied as sample source files. For the start-up files, create a folder named "<device name after change>.nnn" (nnn = 000, 001, …) and copy them to that folder. The details of the changes are displayed in the Output panel.

Caution

Although the [Section start address] property on the [Link Options] tabbed page is changed to the value for the specified microcontroller, the specification of addresses with #pragma address is not supported. If a section start address is changed, the size of the resulting section may extend beyond the capacity of the ROM or RAM.

The following items are explained here.

[How to open]

-

On the Project Tree panel, select the microcontroller node, and then select [Change microcontroller...] from the context menu.

[Description of each area]

(1)

[Change microcontroller to] area

Select a microcontroller to be used.

(a)

Microcontroller search box

You can search a microcontroller selected in the list of microcontrollers simply.

(b)

Additional InformationNote

Note

Other information appears only when present.

[Function buttons]

Button

Function

OK

Closes this dialog box and changes the microcontroller according to the designated condition.

Note that this button is invalid when the target microcontroller after the change is the same as the current microcontroller or is selected by its nickname from the list of microcontrollers.

Cancel

Cancels the designated condition and closes the dialog box.

Help

Displays the help of this dialog box.
