hey,

I have my old Renesas M16C/26 microcontroller from a few years ago and i want to use it. I have the CD that came w/ it but it does not include the C compiler/builder software. the app that setup the workspace and then projects, etc. and then you build it into the x30 format.

I found the software package on the ECE306 webpage. its called HEW. so i installed it (it asked for a key but i hax0red around it and i think it installed fine). but now when i go to create a new workspace there are no project types in the left pane so i can not continue to do anything.

any ideas?

create a new workspace... set name, select m16c, and pick the SKPboard on the left, hit next, select empty project, hit finish

then you have to open up the main.c file and put your code in there


it is called 2skp_main or something like that in the left pane.


hope that helps

What are you trying to build sir?

hrm. the problem is there is no SKPboard on the left. the left is totally empty. i guess its installed wrong or something.

but its ok, i found the old software and it seems to be working fine. HEW must be something new. I'm using "TM" now.

i'm playing w/ a sequential shift light and maybe some data/sensor logging stuff for my car

did you select m16c under the "CPU family" drop down

can you guys send me any of your class projects for this? i forgot how to work this damn thing and need some examples. hah its been like 4 years. i wish i still had my old projects

Is this a surface mount part?

its teh whole dev board/kit w/ an LCD and LEDs and pots on it and mess. i could leave it as is because there are still pads for each of the chip's pins to solder to. or i could desing a PCB for the chip, but thats a long ways off.

the chip itself is a BGA. so no, i cant stick it in a new PCB, id have to program a new chip. if thats what youre getting at

Basically. I'm always thinking ahead. It's why I like my atmel boards, plenty of through hole sockets and parts to work with.

There's a lot of sample code on the Renesas site that you should be able to download.
