Chapter 16 Upgrading to FDT3.07
Installing FDT3.07 should not adversely affect your other FDT version installations. The USB drivers may
be upgraded by installing FDT3.07, and the Access Rights usernames and passwords will be common, but
these are the only shared components. Each version of FDT installs its own set of kernels and keeps its own
settings. Installing FDT3.07will also update the support email addresses for some previous versions of
FDT. The most recently installed version of FDT will be the application registered for use with the FDT
file extensions. This is so that the most recently installed version will be used when a file is double clicked
from Windows
®
Explorer.
If you are an existing user of FDT, and your existing project needs to be migrated to FDT3.07, the
recommendations are as follows:
If the project specifically requires the kernels distributed with an earlier version of FDT (or a customised
kernel based upon an older version), it is possible to choose the “Other” option to select the “User Defined”
kernel. It is recommended however, that wherever possible, the latest kernels be used. Using kernels from
previous versions of FDT may lead to a decrease in functionality (e.g. FDT 3.1 and above kernels include
the information that FDT requires to calculate the asynchronous serial error rates; use of kernels distributed
prior to FDT 3.1 will result in this feature being disabled).
For projects using FDT versions prior to FDT 3.0, a new workspace and project should be created using the
wizard. This will ensure that the new settings are generated as required by FDT and is a very quick process
using the Project Wizard. The workspace files used by FDT versions prior to version 3.0 are not compatible
with FDT3.07 due to the enhancements since then.
Workspaces from previous versions of FDT (from version 3.0) can be opened with FDT3.07but should not
be opened with the original version again after they have been upgraded. Any errors related to
“SyntaxHighlightingFile.dbs” can be ignored in this case. Toolbar positions and states may also be affected
by opening old format workspaces. File associations may need setting up once the project has been
upgraded to allow double clicking to open the selected file and downloading.
The new style of device image (.ddi based rather than .fpr based) will mean that FDT will attempt to
rebuild any project image from a previous version. The old image will not be removed or deleted but a new
one will be added and used henceforth. If the old image must be used for download then simple right click
on the entry in the Workspace view and choose ‘Download File’ from the context menu.

Support for R8C/2x Blank Check embedded function
