MCU Simulator Online

Porting Projects to the CS+ or e² studio Integrated Development Environment (RL78 Family)

After a project has been exported from the MCU Simulator Online, it can be read by a CS+ or e² studio Integrated Development Environment which has been installed in a PC environment. You can then start to evaluate the project on a real board.

Refer to the following pages for an overview of the products and the method of downloading. Each page also includes a link to the free evaluation edition of the given IDE.

• CS+ Integrated Development Environment
• e² studio Integrated Development Environment

Descriptions of porting to the respective environments are given below.

If code generation is performed by Smart Configurator after importing the project file, the project may fail to build. If a build error occurs, please refer to the following document.

Smart Configurator, Code Generator Project Porting Procedures for CS+ and e2 studio

Importing to CS+

After starting CS+, click on the [GO] button for [Open Existing MCU Simulator Online / e² studio / CubeSuite / High-performance Embedded Workshop / PM+ Project] on the [Start] panel to produce the [Open Project] dialog box.

After that, select the project file (*.rcpc) which you have exported from the MCU Simulator Online to produce the [Project Convert Settings] dialog box.

Select the target project in the [Project] area of the [Project Convert Settings] dialog box, and click on the [OK] button.

• If you do not need a back-up of the project, uncheck the check box against [Backup the project composition files after conversion] before clicking on the [OK] button.
• The microcontroller you had selected in the MCU Simulator Online is automatically specified. Note that the program might not run if you change the microcontroller.

Details for the [Project Convert Settings] dialog box >>

You have now completed importing the project to CS+.

• The simulator for the given MCU is selected as the debug tool by default. If you intend to use an emulator, you need to switch the debug tool to that emulator. Details on switching the debug tool >>
• The exported project does not include files generated by the compiler, such as load module files and libirary files. You will need to build the project again in CS+ before using the executable program.

Importing to the e² studio

After starting the e² studio, select [Import…] from the [File] menu to produce the [Import] dialog box. Select the [Renesas CS+ Project for CC-RX and CC-RL] import wizard, and click on the [Next] button.

Select the project file (*.rcpe) which you exported from the MCU Simulator Online against [Select file]. The target microcontroller will automatically be entered against [Select Target] when you specify the project file. Select the emulator which you will be using for [Debug Hardware].

• The microcontroller you had selected in the MCU Simulator Online is automatically specified. Note that the program might not run if you change the microcontroller.

You have now completed importing the project to the e² studio.

• The exported project does not include files generated by the compiler, such as load module files and libirary files. You will need to build the project again in the e² studio before using the executable program.
