productive experience, it is likely to enhance fair and unbiased evaluations of hardware devices
and tools and increase the value of the kit to users.
The innovative SPB successfully marries several existing technologies in a manner not fully
realized until now:
To facilitate the linkage between these core technologies, special, interface software was
developed, utilizing a proprietary COM (Common Object Model) module, called “HEW Target
Server,” or “HTS” for short. Unique in its operation, HTS exposes the elements and functionality
of the Renesas’ HEW (High-performance Embedded Workbench) integrated development
environment (IDE). Due to this exposure, engineers can use HTS to take control of the Renesas
software tools. With HTS they can also reach through the Renesas software tools directly into the
target MCU or MPU and manipulate memory, peripherals, and registers. This is accomplished
over the target’s existing debug channel, without the need for any additional physical means of
communication (see Figure 1).
The combination of the SPB’s interface software and HTS gives engineers a truly interactive
demonstration and learning environment. The software system informs users how and when to
perform a given procedure, then monitors events and provides feedback when something has been
done incorrectly (see Figure 2).
