Renesas’ Integrated
Development Environment
The High-performance Embedded
Workshop (or HEW) is a graphical
development environment for
C/C++ compiler toolchains with an
industry-standard look and feel.
Through the use of menus, toolbars,
status bars, dockable windows and
context-sensitive local menus, HEW
integrates key capabilities that can
help you create and manage your
embedded microcontroller software
projects. Its capabilities include:
• Project creation and editing
• Graphical configuration
of compiler tools
• Project make
• Debugging
• Version control
HEW provides enhanced functional-
ity and an integrated instruction
simulator that allows you to debug
application code even when
hardware isn’t available. Also, the
C/C++ compiler toolchains bundled
with HEW generate code that
executes faster and/or takes
less memory space on Renesas
processors.
One familiar interface,
many functions
You can quickly learn the powerful
tools you need for developing
application code, and you have easy-
to-use control over those tools.
Moreover, you can work with an
interface that remains consistent
across the entire range of Renesas
MCUs and MPUs for greater
efficiency. The interface is also highly
customizable, so you can create an
even more efficient environment for
developing your application.
Wizards simplify start-up processes
You can start projects fast by taking
advantage of HEW’s Project
Generator “Wizards.” Let them
guide you through the selection of
configuration options, debugger
targets, and the creation of startup
code.
■ Overview
Renesas and the many third-party suppliers in the
SuperH community provide a wide range of hardware
and software tools and other support services. Renesas
offers products that cover all stages of the development
of embedded systems that use SuperH microcontrollers
and microprocessors.
• Evaluation—Low-cost or no-cost Renesas tools make
it easy to discover the capabilities of SuperH MCUs
and test the problem-solving power of the tools
themselves, including the High-performance
Embedded Workshop (HEW) software development
and debugging environment. A free downloadable
evaluation version lets you evaluate the ability of the
Renesas C/C++ compiler to generate efficient code,
and evaluation boards enable you to immediately test
that code on known working hardware. In addition,
the Renesas Interactive remote engineering laboratory
gives you the ability to use your own PC to obtain
hands-on experience with powerful software and
hardware tools before purchase.
• Debugging—When you begin working on the design
of your system, you can develop code using the full
unlimited compiler in exactly the same HEW
environment. To track down bugs, use Renesas’ on-
chip and full in-circuit emulators, which have
powerful specialized debugging hardware for trapping
specific conditions and recording program activity.
• Final Programming—Use Renesas’ Flash
Development Toolkit, which has an easy-to-use
interface, to program your debugged application into
any of the many SuperH MCUs that incorporate
Renesas’ mature on-chip flash memory technology.
All the tools required for developing SuperH-based
applications are available from Renesas distributors.
These tools have been developed by groups within the
worldwide Renesas organization, experienced engineers
who have access to the designers of the devices
themselves. Their insight and expertise ensures the best
possible tool performance and support.
