IDE and other Tools

Please use separate e2studio for RA MCUs from RX/RL78/RH850 to avoid modifying toolchain any other development environment settings. e2studio for RA will include FSP, e2studio for other MCUs will include SC.

You may want to use a new dedicated Workspace if starting a big new project.

Update to latest SC, FSP, QE revisions might break the existing working project. Please seek Renesas technical help if you cannot figure out the reason, or you could reverse back to the old version. It is typically recommended you update to latest versions when start a new project and stay with these versions for this project.

Change a Linker File

Here is an example of the steps to change an object file for linker. In RA4T1 Tuner code, link "ICS2_RA4T1_Built_in.o" instead of "ICS2_RA4T1.o" to allow RMW to communicate through VCOM port, instead of using the communication board.

First find the Tool Settings in the Project Properties shown as below. 


Then change the object file in "Other objects" under GNU Arm Cross C Linker => Miscellaneous, from "ICS2_RA4T1.o" to "ICS2_RA4T1_Built_in.o". Click Apply and Close.

Finally update the list under GNU Arm Cross C Linker, in "All options", replace "ICS2_RA4T1_Built_in.o" with "ICS2_RA4T1.o". Click Apply and Close.

Customer Motor Control Tuning Procedure

Here are some key steps to bring up motor control using Renesas MCUs. Note this is just given as a typical example. It varies depending on actual applications. 

  1. Check Renesas website for related MCU motor control solution documents, algorithms, evaluation boards and kits, sample codes, etc.
  2. Requested motor control kit (MCK) for bench evaluation.
  3. Download the sample project code for the MCK, the related IDE and tools such as e2studio with FSP, Renesas Motor Workbench (RMW), etc.
  4. After successfully running the Renesas MCK, try connecting the customer motor with appropriate power supply if possible.
    1. Update the motor parameters, maximum RPM, maximum current, and other key parameters based on the actual application.
    2. Test the motor and perform tuning as necessary.
  5. Design customer board with maximum commonality to Renesas MCK boards to minimize FW changes.
  6. Develop customer FW based on Renesas sample code to work with the customer board.
  7. Bring up the customer system, perform tuning and testing.
  8. Reach out to Renesas sales and FAE, or online helps for any issues during the development.
