 studio IDE to develop and debug software for the Hear-it! Solution Kit. It is intended for users designing code 

on the Hear-it! Solution Kit, using the many different incorporated peripheral devices. 

 

The manual comprises of step-by-step instructions to load and debug a project in e

2

 studio, but does not intend 

to be a complete guide to software development on the Hear-it!  Solution Kit. Further details of  the  RX231 
microcontroller may be found in the RX231  Group  Hardware Manual and within the provided demonstration 
code. 

 

Particular attention should be paid to the precautionary notes when using the manual. These notes occur 
within the body of the text, at the end of each section, and in the Usage Notes section. 

 

The revision history summarizes the locations of revisions and additions. It does not list all revisions. Refer 
to the text of the manual for details. 

 

The following documents apply to the Hear-it! Solution Kit. Make sure to refer to the latest versions of these
