FM-ONE
ON-BOARD PROGRAMMER
Our on-board programmer, when mounted, readily downloads
user programs to the Flash built-in microcomputer made by Renesas
Electronics Corp. When mounted, the on-board programmer is able
to not only examine the system but also rewrite user programs even
after the hardware itself is completed. These advantages can be
extensively used from development to maintenance of various
programs. Our product supports users’efficient production in various
ways such as shortening of the duration of development, saving the
effort of providing a verification environment, and reduction of
inventory goods.
ON-BOARD PROGRAMMER FEATURES
While writing, an automatic control function in boot mode lets MCU board write in an operation mode.
This programmer is best for the development of writing control programs, save the need for validation, and can be
developed in a short duration.
The target interface can be used together with our on-board programmer or independently depending on
circumstances.
FM-ONE FUTURES
FM-ONE is characterized by an easy handling of the user programs with CF (compact flash). We have made efforts in
improving for convinience. For example, those functions are left unchanged that have been well received with the existing
on-board programmer FLASH2 and FLASH MATE5V1.
The system, serving as a USB storage device, saves project files in the CF.
With a 20-letter x4-line LCD as well as a switch, this system makes possible to write without a PC.
Power is supplied to the main body by three methods: a USB Bus power, an AC adapter, and nickel metal-hydride
batteries. *Two size AA batteries

Battery Holder Guidance
Please read <Precaution> before placing the batteries into battery holder.
＜Precaution＞
Some of the alkaline batteries contain flexible insulating label to it. When placing that kind of batteries into the
battery holder, negative terminal (-) of the battery holder could come into contact with positive terminal (+)
inside of the flexible label as shown in the diagram below. It causes electrical short-circuit.
Please do not use the batteries described above. Electrical short-circuit may cause smoke and fire.

Target board
Prepare MCU-set board which is equipped with a specified write-in interface.
For the write-in interface and I/F circuit diagram of the interior FM－ONE, refer to attached “User’s Guide.”
Connector and Cable
The connector model name and signal name are shown in the “User’s Guide.”
CONNECTION IMAGE
In using the FM-ONE, the target board, FM-ONE
and PC must be connected as the diagram indicates,
on the right.
Prepare a target board according to our reference
circuit diagram, connect its write-in interface with the
FM-ONE body with the target connection cable, and
then insert CF (Compact flash) through CF insertion
slot.
To connect the FM-ONE body with PC, you
must use a USB cable (not provided).
Power is to be supplied to the FM-ONE body
from a USB bus when PC is operated, or
otherwise from the attached adapter.
Cautions!
Insertion of CF
Insert CF with its back face upward.
A slot is on the CF side. Hold the CF card with the
wider slot to the right against the FM-ONE and the
narrower one to the left, and the back face will be
upward.
Insert the CF card until you hear click so that the
injection button will pop up.
RECOGNITION OF USB DEVICE OF CF
CF inserted into the FM-ONE body is recognized as a USB
storage by PC.
Be sure to confirm if recognition is achieved properly
when a USB cable is connected and CF is inserted.
When a USB cable or CF is to be removed, be sure to cut
off the USB device.

The number of files and folders that FM-ONE can detect is
up to 10.
When more than 10 files/folders are in the CF root, FM-ONE
will randomly display 10 on the LCD depending on the
number of the saved (Display order cannot be designated).
Files other than the Project File may be saved, however, in
order to avoid the trouble of confirming unnecessary files, it is
recommend that such files be saved in a particular folder as
circumstances permit.
Too many files should not be stored as checking may be
troublesome. (Unless you select those files as a project file, the
system will not check the internal files. But if you select
them by mistake, we cannot guarantee the results.)
FM-ONE tries to find a 'Project Folder' when it works. 'Project
Folder' has to have same name as HDP file's except the extension
and is supposed to have five files (HDP, TGP, TGW, HDU and HDH) .
Please make a new 'Project Folder' to store 5files in before 'Save'
button clicked.
