1. Introduction Purpose This training course covers debugging an application on an SH target in the Renesas HEW (High-performance Embedded Workshop) development environment using the KPIT GNU toolchain and the Renesas SH simulator. Objectives Learn how to create a new project and what the compiler, assembler, and linker settings are and what they do. Understand how to configure the debug platform and allocate memory resources. Learn the process of downloading a module and debugging the source code with the SH Simulator. Content 41 pages 3 questions Learning Time 70 minutes

2. SH Simulator* KPIT GNU toolchain for SH target (integrated with HEW 4) Renesas HEW 4 IDE Prerequisites for Debugging HEW should be installed first, before the GNU toolchain Click each oval for more information

3. About the HEW IDE A powerful, yet easy-to-use software development solution that shortens system development time - Offers a familiar Graphical User Interface (GUI) that simplifies operations - Eliminates the need to switch environments between coding and debugging operations, or between target devices - Allows users to select right tool for each process and fully exploit the tool’s capabilities - Provides many essential functions, including: Project manager Setup “Wizard” Compiler interface Configurable build engine Editor Debugger and more Free HEW courses are available at Renesas Interactive SH Simulator KPIT GNU toolchain HEW Click each oval for more information

4. About the GNU Toolchain Proven, pre-built, binary tools that allow more time for application development - Compiler source code, Binutils, Newlib, and a GDB source-level debugger that shows what is happening inside program as it executes Tested and optimized for Renesas targets Free and easy to use Available for Windows and Linux platforms Easy download and installation Integrated with Renesas’ proprietary tools Free technical support at dedicated web portal - GDB stubs, monitor programs, tutorials, documentation, FAQs, and discussion forum SH Simulator KPIT GNU toolchain HEW Click each oval for more information

5. About the SH Simulator A simulator for SuperH RISC Engine family devices that enables the evaluation of software modules even without a hardware target - Uses HEW as the builder and debugger, for a consistent development environment - Provides extensive breakpoint functions (pseudo interrupt is available) - Supports ELF/DWARF object format, offers virtual interrupt and stack trace functions, and can optimize objects using information output by a profile function. Its - Implements debug function in helpful visual displays with images and waveforms. SH Simulator KPIT GNU toolchain HEW Click each oval for more information
