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

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.

and then select from among files displayed on
Windows.
▼For User File 1, select a file for regular ROM areas,
and for User File 2, select a file for secondary (in a
specific MCU such as stacked modules or User
boot mats.)
▼Those selected files are converted into one project
file and saved in a single HDP file.
▼If selected files include an write-in address to an
area other than on-chip ROM area good for the
boot mode, a warning will appear.
②Selection of MCU type name
Select the target MCU from among type names.
Make selection through two stages: from the group
selection list to type name list.
▼MCU on the list is a type name which can be
available at the moment. New MCU is now under

body, the USB cable and the target board as
in the diagram on the right diagram.
There are actually two operational procedures as follows:
Select the file and parameter as shown in the previous page, and click on Program.
A new project, which is not saved yet, is automatically saved under the name of “Default”and writing is started.
Load the project file saved following the direction in the previous page, and then click
on Program.
An existing project file, which has been saved before, is automatically saved (overwritten) in the CD under its original
name and then writing is started.
Likewise in the previous page, start FM－ONE Project File Maker.
When a new project is set up, or when the existing program is
loaded to resume writing in it, configure your computer in DETAILS
mode and click Program.
A new project is saved under the name of default and writing
is started, while an existing project is SAVED under the
original name and likewise writing is started.
When the existing project is loaded and written in without
modifying, load the project leaving the screen below as it
is and click on Program.
Saving is executed and writing will immediately start.

With the switch on FM-ONE【Offline】
How to write in using the switch on the FM－ONE body. Instead of connecting to the PC, writing in is done with the switch on
the body (Offline operation). As it can operate with batteries, it has a wider advantage, for example, maintenance is possible in
the field or it is used for evaluation at the client’s office.
B: Write switch (OK)
【Connection】
To write in, the equipment must be connected as a
diagram describes on the right. If the body is not
connected to PC, power cannot be supplied from the USB
bus. Prepare the attached AC adapter or specified
batteries. To start writing in, the target must also be
supplied with power.
【advance preparation of a project file】
To make write in, the project file must be stored in advance in the CF put in the body.
【Writing procedure】
①
Connect the FM－ONE body with CF inserted in to
the target board, and power should be supplied with
first the body and next the target board.
②
The startup screen on the right (result of self-test) is
shown on the LCD of the FM－ONE body for about
three seconds.
③
If self-test is done properly, one of the project files
saved in the CF will be immediately displayed.
