Aug 14, 2014 1. Overview Purpose This RSK+ is an evaluation tool for Renesas microcontrollers. This manual describes the technical details of the RSK+ hardware. The Quick Start Guide and Tutorial Manual provide details of the software installation and debugging environment.
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 any switch, the LEDs will flash at a rate controlled by the potentiometer.
