1.  Installation and Setup 

Ensure that the latest version of the Renesas IC Toolbox software is installed. New versions are released 
frequently and can provide a better experience with new functionality. The Renesas IC Toolbox software can be 
located on the 

FemtoClock®2 Evaluation Kit

 page. 

Each device that is compatible with the Renesas IC Toolbox software has its own individual installer. This is a 
convenient executable file that installs to a computer that already has the Renesas IC Toolbox software. The 
FemtoClock2 installer can be located on the 

FemtoClock®2 Evaluation Kit

 page. Always check for newer 

versions as new features are frequently added. 

Download the installer and follow the prompts before proceeding through this document. 

 

2.  Loading and Creating Configurations 

2.1 

Creating a New Configuration 

To create a new configuration, open the Renesas IC Toolbox software and click the 

New

 button. 

 

In the “Select Product Family” section, select the FemtoClock2. From the “Select Product” section, select the 
working device. Click the 

OK

 button to open up the new configuration. It may take a couple of minutes to open 

for the first time.
