MCU Applications Engineering
1.0 Introduction
The SKP8CMINI-17* (and the SKP8CMINI-15) Starter Kit Plus (SKP) is a compact system to
evaluate Renesas software development tools and the R8C/Tiny microcontrollers (MCU). The kit
also includes sample code, documentation, and tutorial to jumpstart development.
The software development tools that come with the kit include the High-performance Embedded
Workshop HEW, NC30WA C-compiler/Assembler/Linker, and FoUSB (Flash-over-USB™)
Programmer.
The HEW Debug Interface, together with the In-Circuit Debugger (RTA-FoUSB-MON), provides a
real-time, source-level debug environment. The FoUSB Programmer application, with the In-
Circuit Debugger (ICD), allows in-system programming of the R8C/Tiny flash MCU.
The ICD provides a convenient USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface between the Mini R8C board
and the PC. This interface reduces resource requirements on the R8C/Tiny MCU, allows faster
code downloads and, can also be used to program other Renesas Flash MCU’s using Flash-over-
TM.
