Introduction
The High-performance Embedded Workshop is a powerful development environment for embedded applications
targeted at Renesas micro-controllers. The main features are:
•
A configurable build engine that allows you to set-up compiler, assembler and linker options by using GUI.
•
An integrated text editor with user customizable syntax coloring to improve code readability.
•
A configurable environment, which allows you to run your own tools.
•
An integrated debugger, which allows you to build and debug in the same application.
•
Version control support.
The High-performance Embedded Workshop has been designed with two key aims; firstly to provide you, the user,
with a set of powerful development tools and, secondly, to unify and present them in a way that is easy to use.
About This User’s Manual
This user’s manual describes the High-performance Embedded Workshop system. This user’s manual describes
information on the basic “look and feel” of the High-performance Embedded Workshop and customizing the High-
performance Embedded Workshop environment and detail the build and the debugging functions common to the High-
performance Embedded Workshop products. The figures in this document show the High-performance Embedded
Workshop operating with the SuperH family debugging platform.
The term “debugging platform” refers to an emulator or simulator/debugger that operates with the integrated
development environment “High-performance Embedded Workshop”.
For details on the debugging platform, see the user’s manual or online help information packaged with the emulator or
simulator.
This user’s manual does not intend to explain how to write C/C++ or assembly language programs, how to use any
particular operating system or how best to tailor code for the individual devices. These issues are left to the respective
user’s manuals.
The High-performance Embedded Workshop is customized in various languages. This user’s manual gives descriptions
on the English version of the High-performance Embedded Workshop application.
