This RSK is an evaluation tool for Renesas microcontrollers. Features include: • Renesas Microcontroller Programming. • User Code Debugging. • User Circuitry such as Switches, LEDs and potentiometer(s). • User or Example Application. • Sample peripheral device initialisation code. The RSK board contains all the circuitry required for microcontroller operation.
When the RSK is purchased the RSK board has the ‘Release’ or stand alone code from the example tutorial code pre-programmed into the Renesas microcontroller. On powering up the board the user LEDs will start to flash. After 200 flashes, or after pressing a switch the LEDs...

6.1. Switches There are four switches located on the RSK. The function of each switch and its connection are shown in Table 6-1. Switch When pressed the RSK microcontroller is reset. SW1/BOOT* Connects to an IRQ input for user controls. The switch is also used in conjunction with the RES switch to place the device in BOOT mode when not using the E8a module.
6.4. Serial port The microcontroller programming serial port 1 is connected to the RS232 connector. A serial port can be used by moving option resistors and fitting the D connector. This can be connected to serial channel 1 if the E8a is disabled from using channel 1; or serial channel 0 while the E8a is enabled.

6.7.Oscillator Sources A crystal oscillator is fitted on the RSK and used to supply the main clock input to the Renesas microcontroller. oscillators that are fitted and alternative footprints provided on this RSK: 6.8. Reset Circuit The CPU Board includes a simple latch circuit that links the mode selection and reset circuit. This provides an easy method for swapping the device between Boot Mode, User Boot Mode and User mode.
The RSK supports Boot mode and Single chip mode. Details of programming the FLASH memory is described in the M16C/6NK Group Hardware Manual. 7.1. Boot mode The boot mode settings for this RSK are shown in Table 7-1: Boot Mode pin settings below: The software supplied with this RSK only supports Boot mode using an E8a and HEW.
Chapter 8. Programming Methods The board is intended for use with HEW and the supplied E8a module. Refer to the M16C/6NK Group Hardware Manual for details of programming the microcontroller without using these tools.
