１． Overview
RC-G4B/RC-G8B is a gang write unit that uses EFP-RC2 or EFP-LC and EFP-RC serial MCU
programmers (Hereinafter EFP body) to connect 1 to 8 units.
By using RC-G4B/RC-G8B, you can write and read at the same time up to 4 or 8 Renesas
Electronics flash memory built-in MCU and QzROM built-in MCU.
Figure 1.1 shows the outline drawing of RC-G4B, and Figure 1.2 shows the outline drawing of
RC-G8B.

７． How to operate
Below are a series of operation methods of RC-G4B/RC-G8B.
When EFP-RC2 or EFP-RC is used for RC-G4B/RC-G8B, it is necessary to set to memory
execution mode.
How to set the memory execution mode is described in the following items.
*EFP-RC2 : "EFP-RC2 Instruction Manual '5.9 How to use user memory files' "
*EFP-RC : "EFP-RC Operation Manual ' "S" key operation at menu' "
* When continuing to use, execute (7), (8) again.
Each file is made with C compiler and editor application.
To be operated with RC-Downloader
To be operated on EFP body
To be operated on RC-G4B/RC-G8B main body
** Please press start switch for more than 1 second. If time is short, EFP body will
not operate.
*** When using EFP-LC, you do not need the (4) to (6) procedure.
