1. M32C/8x SKP StarterKit Plus Software Install
a) Please insert the enclosed CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. The CD should auto-start, displaying the SKP Picker
Install Screen. Follow the directions in the installation windows to install the Renesas tools.
i) If the installation screen does not appear, please browse the CD root folder and double-click on “SKP-Installer.exe”.
– Do not plug the In-Circuit Debugger into your USB port until instructed to in Section 2, USB Driver Installation.
– The installation process requires a valid SKP serial number. Locate the label on the PC board or on the
side of your box.
– During the installation process, you may be prompted to restart your computer. Do not restart until the SKP installer
has completed installation of all of the software items.
– During the SKP install, dialog boxes will appear asking if you would like to install the development tools or not.
The development tools will allow you to evaluate the different features of the M32C MCU and the software
development environment (debugger, compiler, linker, etc…).
2. USB Driver Installation
You need to install the driver for the RTA-FoUSB-MON In-Circuit Debugger (ICD) before you can use it. First, verify that the
Target/Bus Power Mode switch is in the USB position.
Next, connect one end of the mini USB cable into the ICD and the other end into your PC’s USB port. The red “Power” LED
on the ICD will light up and the yellow “Status” LED will blink about 2-3 times per second.
If you are running Windows 98, ME or 2000, no intervention by the user is needed. When the ICD is plugged in, Windows
automatically attaches the correct driver for your device and it is ready to use.
If you are running Windows XP, the first time a FoUSB device is plugged into a different USB port on the PC,
the Windows XP “Found New Hardware Wizard” window will appear. Select the default option “Install the software
automatically (recommended)”.
Windows will then begin installing the USB driver. Another screen may appear stating that this driver has not been XP
certified by Microsoft because we did not participate in Microsoft XP driver certification. Click the “Continue Anyway” button.
Your driver is now installed. Click Finish to close the wizard.
The driver files (.sys and .inf) are always located under the FoUSB install directory (For example: C:\MTOOL\FoUSB\USB
Drivers\) in case you are have trouble with the automatic driver installer.
NOTE: If you have problems installing the drivers or your PC will not recognize the ICD, please see the "Troubleshooting"
section of the RTA-FoUSB-MON user’s manual for details.

3. Demo Program
The following instructions are specific for the SKP32C85 kit. Substitute 83 or 84 in place of 85 for the SKP32C83 or SKP32C84
kit respectively. The kit ships with a demo program that runs on the board when connected to the ICD (RTA-FoUSB-MON).
a) If not already done in step 2a), plug one end of the USB cable into the RTA-FoUSB-MON and the other into a USB socket
on your PC.
b) Connect the RTA-FoUSB-MON to the SKP board using the supplied ribbon cable. The power light of the board should
come on. If the power light on the SKP board does not come on, check the Power Mode switch on the RTA-FoUSB-MON
and verify that it is set to the “USB” position.
c) Press the reset switch to run the demo program.
– The LCD on the board will display a welcome message (adjust LCD contrast as needed). After a few seconds,
“RT1: xxxx, AN0: xxxx” will be displayed on the LCD.
– The LED’s will blink sequentially (back and forth).
– The LED flash rate is controlled by the Analog Adjust (R16) potentiometer (which is connected to the ADC’s AN0 input).
The 10-bit ADC value is also shown on the LCD as AN0.
d) Turn the Analog Adjust clockwise or counter-clockwise. This alters the flash rate of the LEDs, and increases or decreases
the AN0 value shown on the LCD.
e) Press the pushbutton switches S1, S2, or S3. This will stop the sequential blinking of the LEDs. The LED associated with
the pushbutton switch (i.e., S1 – Red LED, S2 – Yellow LED, and S3 – Green LED) will light up.
4. HEW (IDE) Quick-Start
HEW integrates various tools such as the compiler, assembler, debugger, and editor into a common Graphical User Interface.
To learn more on how to use HEW, open the HEW manual navigator on your computer (Start > (All) Programs > Renesas
High-performance Embedded Workshop > Manual Navigator).
a) Launch HEW from the Start menu (Start > (All) Programs > Renesas High-performance Embedded Workshop >
High-performance Embedded Workshop).
b) In the “Welcome!” dialog box:
i) Verify “Create a new project workspace” is selected.
ii) Click <OK>.
c) In the “New Project Workspace” Dialog box:
i) Verify the “CPU family” is set to “M32C”.
ii) Select “M32C/85 StarterKit Plus” (Figure 3).
iii) Enter “skptest85” for the Workspace Name (the Project
Name will auto fill to “skptest85”).
iv) Click <OK>.
d) On the “StarterKit Plus - Step 1” Window:
i) Click <Next>.
e) On the “StarterKit Plus - Step 2” Window:
i) Select “SKP Operational Test”.
ii) Click <Finish>.
f) In the “Project generator information” Window:
i) Click <OK>.
g) Click the “Build” icon, , to compile, assemble and
link the project. HEW will look similar to Figure 4.
